  • Methods and systems for backup power management at a power device
    Patent number: 11258293
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for power state management. A critical usage window may be configured at a gateway node. A change in a power state of the gateway node may be detected, at an interface, during the critical usage window. The power state of the gateway node may be adjusted via the interface for a set duration using a backup power node.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for providing network connection resiliency in power supply devices
    Patent number: 11101689
    Abstract: Power systems, devices, and methods include a plurality of network interfaces for providing communication to, e.g., a management server, console, or user interface. One or more controllers coupled to power circuitry determine whether a preferred one of the network interfaces has connectivity, and directs communication over the preferred network interface in response to a determination that the preferred network interface does have connectivity. The controller directs communication over an alternate one of the network interfaces in response to a determination that the preferred network interface does not have connectivity.
