  • Patent number: 12292026
    Abstract: A “hydraulic rotating machinery” (“HRM”) system provides optimal energy efficiency over a very wide conditions of service (“COS”) range by configuring a plurality of variable speed HRMs in a “cluster.” The HRMs are interconnected by one or more valves that can be actuated by a controller to configure and vary a flow path through which a process fluid flows from an inlet to an outlet. By actively selecting which of the HRMs are included in the flow path, the interconnections therebetween, and the operating speeds thereof, the controller ensures that the HRM cluster continues to operate at optimal efficiency as the COS fluctuates over a very wide range. The HRMs can be identical to each other, or can vary in design. The HRM system can be implemented for storage and retrieval of green energy. The controller can also monitor the health of the cluster and/or of the associated process.

  • Patent number: 12255888
    Abstract: In various exemplary embodiments, a security continuity system allows users to continue accessing certain user accounts (e.g., email, calendar, contacts, documents, instant messaging, cloud storage, etc.) through alternate logon identity credentials that are automatically provisioned such as when a security event is detected or suspected. The alternate logon identity credentials may be temporary (e.g., just used during security continuity until the original user logon identity credentials can be secured such as by establishing a new password or by having the user select a new logon identity) or permanent (e.g., the alternate logon identity can become the user's new logon identity). Security continuity may be invoked manually (e.g., by the user or by an administrator) or automatically when certain conditions are detected (e.g., through detection of suspicious activities such as repeated user lockouts due to multiple failed logon attempts or upon detection of a successful breach by an attacker).

  • Publication number: 20250067486
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for charge imbalance correction in heat pumps. Particularly, a tank may be provided between a vapor conduit and a liquid refrigerant conduit of a heat pump that may be used to temporarily store at least some of the refrigerant when the heat pump is in a heating mode. When the heat pump transitions back to a cooling mode, the refrigerant may be returned back into the heat pump. The flow of refrigerant to and from the tank may be regulated by a three-way valve. The valve is connected to the vapor conduit through one port, the tank through a second port, and the liquid refrigerant conduit through a third port. The valve includes a spring and a slide with a cut-out region that allows two of the three ports to be in fluid communication depending on a position of the slide within the valve.

  • Publication number: 20250067447
    Abstract: Systems and methods for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems with outdoor units having grills forming a support structure are provided. For example, an HVAC system may have an outdoor unit having a grill with vertical struts and horizontal struts which form one or more support structures, which may be in a rectangular shape for example. The support structure may receive a hook, clip, or other support portion of an HVAC maintenance device such as a refrigerant manifold gauge system or other HVAC gauge system. The support structure may be oriented in a direction perpendicular to a plane along which the grill extends, thereby avoiding any damage to the components of the outdoor unit by the maintenance device. The support structure and drill may be designed to withstand the weight of the maintenance device without deformation or damage.

  • Publication number: 20250039649
    Abstract: A sensor device includes a programmable processor, a sensor component in communication with the programmable processor, a transmitter in communication with the programmable processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage article in communication with the processor. The non-transitory computer-readable storage article includes a first communication protocol computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the programmable processor, cause the programmable processor to transmit data, via the transmitter, according to a first communication protocol. And, the non-transitory computer-readable storage article includes a second communication protocol computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the programmable processor, cause the programmable processor to transmit data, via the transmitter, according to a second communication protocol. The second communication protocol is different than the first communication protocol.

  • Publication number: 20240319353
    Abstract: Provided are a system and method for coordinating dual wireless communications protocols when implementing a time difference of arrival (TDOA) framework for ranging between nodes. A first of the protocols (e.g., BLE) can be used for transmission of synchronization and TDOA schedules that prescribe synchronization and TDOA frames. The synchronization and TDOA frames can then be executed according to a second of the protocols (e.g., UWB), thus exemplifying an efficiency in energy consumption owing to an absence of transitioning between the first and second protocols transmissions throughout the schedules.
