Publication number: 20210103673Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing confidential data and confidential programs while providing mutual security to the data and programs. A method includes receiving, from a first system, customer energy data, including data representing energy consumption by a customer; receiving, from a second system, program data representing one or more programs for processing the customer energy data; executing the programs with the customer energy data as input to produce output that includes estimated energy consumption data, while providing security for the program data from access by the first system and any third party and while providing security for the customer energy data and the estimated energy consumption data from access by the second system and any third party; and providing the estimated energy consumption data as output (i) to the first system or (ii) to the customer or (iii) both.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2019Publication date: April 8, 2021Inventors: Joel Fraser Atwater, Peter Light

Patent number: 10972649Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for an infrared and visible imaging system. In some implementations, Image data from a visible-light camera is obtained. A position of a device is determined based at least in part on the image data from the visible-light camera. An infrared camera is positioned so that the device is in a field of view of the infrared camera, with the field of view of the infrared camera being narrower than the field of view of the visible-light camera. Infrared image data from the infrared camera that includes regions representing the device is obtained. Infrared image data from the infrared camera that represents the device is recorded. Position data is also recorded that indicates the location and pose of the infrared camera when the infrared image data is acquired by the infrared camera.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: X Development LLCInventors: Leo Francis Casey, Peter Light, Joel Fraser Atwater, Crystal Elayna Winston, Mehrdad Roosta, Siyuan Xin, Chetan Mahadeswaraswamy

Publication number: 20170203659Abstract: A method for charging electric vehicles includes receiving information regarding an electric vehicle. At least a portion of the information is received through a vehicle interface configured to place a battery of the electric vehicle into electrical communication with a fuel cell system. A charge is delivered from the fuel cell system to the battery of the electric vehicle through the vehicle interface without use of a direct current to alternating current (DC/AC) converter. The charge is delivered based at least in part on the information.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2017Publication date: July 20, 2017Inventors: K.R. Sridhar, Stuart Aaron, Arne Ballantine, Peter Light, Scott Reynolds, Ramesh Srinivasan, Ranganathan Gurunathan

Patent number: 9478985Abstract: A method of providing electrical power using a split bus configuration includes receiving a first direct current at a positive bus of a split bus, where the first direct current originates from a first fuel cell segment. A second direct current is received at a negative bus of the split bus, where the second direct current originates from a second fuel cell segment. A third direct current is also received at the split bus such that a combined direct current is formed including the first direct current, the second direct current, and the third direct current. The third direct current originates from an alternative direct current (DC) source. The combined direct current is provided to an inverter such that an alternating current is generated for a load.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: BLOOM ENERGY CORPORATIONInventors: Arne Watson Ballantine, Ramesh Srinivasan, Stuart Aaron, Peter Light, Josh Richman, Ranganathan Gurunathan, Chad Pearson
