  • Determination of software module power consumption by analyzing total system power consumption of operational hardware events at plural times
    Patent number: 8386810
    Abstract: Techniques and technologies are disclosed herein for measuring and managing energy consumption of the individual hardware components and software modules of various systems and devices. Such techniques and technologies do not require the addition of hardware to the systems (or devices), the modification of software modules hosted by the systems, or other modifications to the systems. Moreover, some of the techniques and technologies measure the energy consumed by the individual software modules as a result of the hardware operations which they call.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 26, 2013
    Assignee: Microsoft Corporation
    Inventors: Aman Kansal, Feng Zhao, Nupur Kothari
  • Visibility and control of wireless sensor networks
    Patent number: 7921206
    Abstract: A computer implemented technique framework, prototype tool and associated methods that provide a high degree of visibility and control over the in-field execution of software in a minimally intrusive manner wherein developer-defined correctness tests and validation logic are embedded into the sensor node itself, making in-field software testing autonomous without necessitating continuous developer participation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 18, 2008
    Date of Patent: April 5, 2011
    Assignee: NEC Laboratories America, Inc.
    Inventors: Kiran Nagaraja, Vijay Raghunathan, Florin Sultan, Srimat Chakradhar, Nupur Kothari
