Publication number: 20190036334Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for controlling harmonics. For each device in an array of devices, a level of harmonic control is acquired to apply to an alternating current voltage powering the device. The level of harmonic control defines a period in a cycle of the alternating current voltage in which to drop the alternating current voltage. For each device in an array of devices, the alternating current voltage powering the device is controlled by dropping the alternating current voltage in the period defined by the acquired level of harmonic control.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2016Publication date: January 31, 2019Inventors: Marc Soler Jauma, David Soriano Fosas, Marina Ferran Farres

Patent number: 10124577Abstract: Methods and apparatus for assessing power usage of at least one printer component in a printer are described. For example, based on a print instruction (the print instruction being to cause the printer to carry out a printing task), power usage requirements of the at least one printer component in carrying out the print instruction may be determined. The power usage may be determined for each of a plurality of time intervals. In some examples, the effect of the printer component(s) in carrying out the print instruction on at least one power quality measure associated with a power supply network which may be connected to the printer may be considered.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: David Soriano Fosas, Ignacio Soler Flores, Marc Soler Jauma, Jose Francisco Bravo de Vega

Patent number: 9985456Abstract: A controller is to control a discharger to provide power from an energy storage to an electrical device during a period when the electrical device is to require a power maximum. The controller is to control the charger to provide power from a power supply to the energy storage during a period when the electrical device is to require a power minimum. The electrical device is to be powered by a power supply.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: David Soriano Fosas, Marc Soler Jauma, Juan Luis Lopez Rodriguez

Patent number: 9306783Abstract: Method of data processing for selectively activating, at a mobile station, a mode of communication related to VAMOS-2 technology. The method includes the steps of: receiving a first signal of a first subchannel, the first signal containing a first training sequence, and receiving a second signal of a second subchannel, the second signal containing a second training sequence, the second signal being orthogonally multiplexed with respect to the first signal, and using the first training sequence and the second training sequence to: determine a value of a parameter defining a ratio between the first subchannel power and the second subchannel power, and determine a signal to noise ratio estimation, and determine, using the parameter value and the signal to noise estimation, whether the mode of communication has to be activated.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2012Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: ST-ERICSSON SAInventors: Marc Soler, Eric Alliot
