Abstract: A gateway controller allows a plurality of individual power generation units coupled to an electrical distribution grid to be controlled in a coordinated fashion. The gateway controller allows control of the plurality of individual power generation units as a single power generation unit. The gateway controller may determine required control parameters of the power generation units that will provide a desired combined behavior, such as combined alternating current injected into the grid, and issues commands to the power generation units based on the determined control parameters.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a data processing apparatus including a processor adapted to operate under control of an executable comprising instructions, and in any of a plurality of operating modes including a non-privileged mode and a privileged mode, the apparatus comprising: means for storing a plurality of stacks; a first stack pointer register for storing a pointer to an address in a first of said stacks; a second stack pointer register for storing a pointer to an address in a second of said stacks, wherein said processing apparatus is adapted to use said second stack pointer when said processor is operating in either the non-privileged mode or the privileged mode; and means for transferring operation of said processor from the non-privileged mode to the privileged mode in response to at least one of said instructions. Embodiments of the invention also relate to a method of operating a data processing apparatus.

Abstract: A system and method for retrieving and displaying data from an onboard memory of an electronic control unit in a vehicle is disclosed. The electronic control unit includes at least one parameter identifier that defines an address for a first data structure. The first data structure includes information on the amount and location of the data in the nonvolatile memory, as well as a version document number corresponding to a version document stored in a scan tool. The scan tool can access the parameter identifier and onboard data by the entry of an identifier number. The retrieved data is inserted into the version document for display.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for deriving one or more selection criteria to select one or more fonts to present character data in an electronic document are described. The selection criteria may be applied on font metadata to select the fonts. An available font may be determined in place of a selected but unavailable font based on font metadata.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) is described which enables hierarchically structured information to be presented and analyzed by a user quickly and easily. In one example, the GUI is for a fraud management system and the information is about “alarms”. Each alarm is an indicator of potential fraud and several types of alarm are presented, where the type of an alarm depends on the method of obtaining that alarm. The types of alarm are arranged in a hierarchical structure and a representation of the hierarchical structure is displayed on a display screen. A user is able to select one or more parts of the hierarchical structure in order to display information about all the alarms of the selected types and subtypes. This enables the user to quickly and easily view required information without the need to make many user actions and selections. The representation of the hierarchical structure may be tailored by the user. This is done by collapsing or expanding parts of the hierarchical representation.
