Publication number: 20260088627Abstract: Predictive energy management comprising systems and methods to collect information about the configuration of energy resources and historical data about energy utilization as to make recommendations on how to optimize those energy resources are disclosed. Intelligent distributed energy resources (IDERs) which are devices that are energy producers or consumers that are automatable with application programming interfaces are aggregated together. An intelligent energy profile, which comprises a summary of energy resources and historical data about utilization is generated. A predictive algorithm is applied to the intelligent energy profile thereby generating a predicted future state, and a recommendation on how to optimize against that predicted future state is generated. In some embodiments generative artificial intelligence techniques are utilized, and in some embodiments the recommendations are automatically performed via the generation of computer script embodying the recommendations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2025Publication date: March 26, 2026Inventors: Gordon Winston, John-Philip Galinski, Nigel Walker, Mark Thompson, Patrick J.D.

Publication number: 20200106787Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques to detect and remediate cybersecurity threats within an enterprise network. More specifically, a Data Management Operating System (DMOS) analysis server is described that is configured to detect and remediate interactions initiated by enterprise devices with data items stored within an enterprise network. The DMOS analysis server may be configured to capture, via a security client that resides on the enterprise device, datum metadata associated with a data operation initiated by the enterprise device, analyze the datum metadata to determine whether the data operation is associated with a cybersecurity threat, and in doing so facilitate an execution of the data operation. In some examples, the DMOS analysis server may generate a response protocol for delivery to a global key server to facilitate execution of the data operation or restrict access to the data item by the enterprise device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2019Publication date: April 2, 2020Inventors: John-Philip GALINSKI, Nigel WALKER, James DEL ROSSI
