Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are directed to the integration and containerization of gateway components on edge devices, which may include building device gateways. A gateway executes a building device interface container that communicates, via an interface implemented by the building device interface container, with one or more building devices of the building to control or collect data from the one or more building devices. The gateway executes a processing container that processes the data from the one or more building devices. The gateway implements a virtual communication bus that facilitates communication between the building device interface container and the processing container.

Abstract: Methods for inducing non-embryonic lesioned central nervous system neurons to survive, integrate, extend axons over long distances, induce intra-lesion ingrowth of neurons into the lesion from host tissue and form synapses in vivo. Pluripotent neural stem cells are grafted into the lesioned CNS tissue within a tissue adhesive suspension, optionally in the presence of growth factors. No modification of the neuronal regenerative inhibitory environment of the CNS is necessary.

Power supplied to the control device and/or the one or more other devices may be adjusted based on the generated one or more corresponding power adjustment signals.

Abstract: A program feature set is compared to a processor feature set. The comparison may be performed in response to restoring the program onto a system or requesting its execution. The processor feature set represents zero, one or more optional hardware features supported by the processor, whereas the program feature set represents zero, one or more optional hardware features the program relies upon in its generated code. Comparison of the feature sets determines whether a particular program may run on a particular processor. Programs may be automatically or manually rebuilt to achieve full compatibility. If the comparison indicates that the program requires a feature not supported by the processor, the program is rebuilt based on the processor feature set. Alternatively, the program may be rebuilt in response to a rebuild request, rather than the comparison. The program is preferably rebuilt from an intermediate representation (IR) stored with or locatable from the program.

Abstract: Reducing power while in standby mode may comprise monitoring for an occurrence of at least one event requiring a transition out of a standby mode while utilizing a lower frequency, less accurate, and low power standby clock signal while operating in the standby mode. After receiving the occurrence of the event, an identity of the received event may be determined. In response to receiving the event, based on the determined identity of the event, a first and/or a second clock signal may be enabled, which has higher frequency and better accuracy and consumes more power than the standby clock signal. If the first and/or second clock signal is enabled, they may be disabled in order to re-enter the standby mode, which utilizes the standby clock signal while in standby mode.
