  • Patent number: 11934671
    Abstract: Devices and techniques for status management in storage backed memory are disclosed herein. An encoded message can be received at a first interface of the memory package. Here, the memory package also includes a second interface to a host. The message can be decoded to obtain a decoded message that includes an attribute. The attribute can be compared a set of attributes that correspond to an advertised status of the memory package. The comparison enables a determination that the attribute is in the set of attributes. The advertised status of the memory package can then be modified in response to the determination that the attribute is in the set of attributes.

  • Publication number: 20240075839
    Abstract: An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) charging station for charging a propulsion battery pack of an electric vehicle (EV) includes a charging cabinet, an electrical cable, and a charge coupler. The charging station is operable for providing a charging voltage or current to the battery pack during a charging operation. The electrical cable has a distal end connected to the charging cabinet. The charge coupler is connected to a proximal end of the electrical cable and connects to a charge receptacle of the EV. The charge coupler includes at least one heating element connected to the charge coupler. The heating element is configured to selectively heat the charge coupler in response to the environmental state being indicative of accumulated snow or ice on the charge coupler.

  • Publication number: 20240021032
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for digitally providing access to an article is disclosed. The system includes a locking unit to secure and article in a locked state and a server. The server generates a digital key associated with the article or the locking unit. When the digital key is provided to a portable electronic device of a user, the digital key enables the portable electronic device to alter the locking unit between the locked state and the unlocked state without the user paying for the article or authorizing payment for the article. Upon a first event, the digital key is assigned to the user and provided to the portable electronic device of the user. The first event includes the user initiating a request for access to the article or the digital key, and verification that the user satisfies a predetermined condition.

  • Publication number: 20230368595
    Abstract: A retail security system that includes a locking system having locking assemblies that can be locked and unlocked directly by a consumer or clerk/employee using his or her mobile phone or other portable electronic device. Each of the locking assemblies may be configured to lock an article so that it cannot be freely accessed. The security system may include a sanitizing system that sanitizes the article after a consumer returns the article to the locking system without making a purchase. The security system may include a computer apparatus that allows an owner of the security system to access a software application that provides the owner with information/data about access to the locked articles.

  • Patent number: 11783647
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system, method, and apparatus for managing a packaging article secured via a locking unit alterable between a locked state and an unlocked state. An indication that a user desires to handle the article may be received and an authorization of the user to handle the article may be performed. An actuator may cause the locking unit to alter from the locked state to the unlocked state, for example, based on the user being authorized to handle the article. Based on the user desiring to purchase the article, inventory information of the article may be updated by decreasing the number of articles in inventory by the article purchased. An account of the user may be charged a cost of the article. An indication may be provided to the user that the article has been purchased.
