  • Publication number: 20200076628
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing power for a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device are disclosed herein. The method may include: configuring a power sourcing equipment (PSE) controller component with an interface keep-on order that indicates a relative priority for providing power to interfaces of the PSE controller component; storing, by a supervisor, keep-on order values and interface identifiers in entries of a PoE power table; transmitting to the supervisor, by the PSE controller component, a first interface power draw value associated with a first interface and a second interface power draw value associated with a second interface; storing, by the supervisor, the interface power draw values entries associated with the respective interfaces; and performing, by the supervisor and in response to a power event, a power management action.

  • Publication number: 20200076627
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing power for a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device are disclosed herein. The method may include obtaining, by a supervisor, power information from a plurality of power supply units (PSUs) to obtain total consumed power; obtaining, by the supervisor, a total system power capacity value associated with the plurality of PSUs; and calculating, by the supervisor, a total available PoE power value using the total consumed power and the total system power capacity value; and making a first determination, by the supervisor, using the total available PoE power value and a PoE power table, whether a powered device should stop receiving power.

  • Publication number: 20200073457
    Abstract: Methods, computer readable mediums, and systems for power management. The method of power management may include receiving first power supply unit (PSU) capacity data and first PSU consumption data from a first PSU to a supervisor; storing, via the supervisor, the first PSU capacity data and the first PSU consumption data in storage; receiving first controlled device power consumption data from a first controlled device to the supervisor; updating a priority table, stored in the storage, with the first controlled device power consumption data; making a first determination that the first PSU consumption data exceeds a first threshold, where, the first threshold is calculated based on at least the first PSU capacity data; and based on the first determination, initiating a power response procedure.

  • Patent number: 10548269
    Abstract: A method of aerating or distributing nutrients in a saline aquaculture system is described herein. The method includes acquiring a second set of environmental condition data on a computing device using a sensor coupled to a platform, such that the platform is configured to grow a salt-tolerant plant therein; comparing the second set of environmental condition data to a first set of environmental condition data acquired at a previous time point; determining a change in one or more of an amount of oxygen, nutrients, or carbon dioxide in a liquid around or on the platform; and when one or more of reduced oxygen, reduced nutrients, or increased carbon dioxide is detected, activating an aeration device.

  • Patent number: 10452739
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for adding information to a graph database. A computer system receives initial records from a legacy database. The computer system converts the initial records from a source format for the legacy database into nodes and relationships for the graph database. The computer system also stores the nodes and the relationships in the graph database. The graph database stores the information about employees in an organization. Further, the computer system receives a group of records after the initial records have been converted into the nodes and the relationships for the graph database. Still further, the computer system changes at least one of a group of nodes or a group of relationships in the graph database based on the group of records. A synchronization between the legacy database and the graph database occurs.

  • Patent number: 10190957
    Abstract: A method for determining a vehicle heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) passenger cabin air filter filtration performance includes determining a vehicle-exterior atmospheric particulate contaminant concentration, a passenger cabin air filter efficiency, and an HVAC airflow rate. The passenger cabin particulate contaminant concentration is calculated from the determined atmospheric particulate contaminant concentration, passenger cabin air filter efficiency, and HVAC airflow rate.

  • Patent number: 10089408
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for accessing a graph database having nodes and relationships describing an organization. An interface in a computer system receives a request from a client to access information about the organization. Further, the interface in the computer system retrieves the information from the graph database having nodes and relationships describing the organization. Still further, the interface in the computer system sends a portion of the information to the client based on how much of the information is displayable by the client.

  • Publication number: 20180229408
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for eliminating mold lines when molding a part having ferromagnetic pigments is provided. A mold assembly having a mold with a cavity and valve gates is formed. Pucks are fitted at the gates to collect residual cold plastic. The calculation of a specific sequence and timing of the opening of the valve gates is determined based on a calculation of the total number of valve gates needed to fill a part while maintaining acceptable injection molding pressure. Once calculated, the gates are positioned around the mold cavity to balance flow length ratio. A primary gate is chosen for initial injection. The time for the material to flow from the first to the second gate is established. The second gate is opened after the flow front reaches the second gate. This pattern continues until all valve gates are opened.

  • Publication number: 20180197214
    Abstract: An electronic payment platform is modified to support merchant loyalty programs by implementing a database and user interfaces for both merchant and consumer participation. As transactions are processed, the electronic payment platform evaluates each transaction to determine if the consumer, and more particularly the payment instrument used in the transaction, is registered. If so, and the merchant is currently offering an award based on satisfying certain criteria, the current transaction data is added to previous qualifying transactions to determine if an award should be granted. If so, the electronic payment platform manages distribution of funds to a designated payment instrument of the consumer.

  • Patent number: 9969111
    Abstract: A one-piece trim bezel formed from multiple components. In the event of two co-molded components, the first co-molded part is composed of a polymerized material having an unpainted surface that may be a high gloss smooth surface or a textured low gloss surface and the second co-molded part, formed with the first part, is composed of a plateable plastic material. The plateable plastic material may be plateable with chrome. A multiple-shot injection molding process is used to form the one-piece trim bezel which joins the first co-molded part and the second co-molded part in one operation. The formed part is then subjected to a plating process during which time only the chrome deposits on the surface of the plateable plastic material of the second co-molded part while the surface of the first co-molded part remains unplated.
