  • Patent number: 11951863
    Abstract: An electric vehicle charging station that is installed in a residence is coupled with a main circuit breaker in an electrical service panel. The charging station includes a charging point connection that couples an electric vehicle to a set of service drop power lines that provide electricity from a power grid to the residence; a current control device coupled to control the amount of electric current that can be drawn from the set of service drop power lines by an the electric vehicle through the charging point connection; a receiver to receive energy readings from one or more current monitors that indicate an amount of current is being drawn from the set of service drop power lines; and a set of control modules to cause the current control device to control the amount of current that can be drawn by the electric vehicle through the charging point connection based on the received energy readings to avoid tripping the main circuit breaker.

  • Patent number: 11522819
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating maintenance of tribal knowledge for accelerated compliance control deployment are provided. In one example, a system includes a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components include a knowledge base generation component that generates a knowledge graph corresponding to respective commitments created via tribal exchanges, the knowledge graph comprising a semantic level and an operational level; a semantic graph population component that populates the semantic level of the knowledge graph based on identified parties to the respective commitments; and an operational graph population component that populates the operational level of the knowledge graph based on tracked status changes associated with the respective commitments.

  • Patent number: 11288055
    Abstract: A system includes a memory that stores computer-executable components and a processor, operably coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components stored in the memory. The computer-executable components include a deployment generator component that analyzes current component versions of application services and determines differences with previous deployment versions of the application services deployed to a target computing environment. A service deployment output component generates instructions to selectively update the application services to the target computing environment based on the determined differences between the previous deployment versions and the current component versions of the application services.

  • Publication number: 20200123429
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to drilling fluids and more specifically relate to methods for treating drilling fluids. A method for treating a drilling fluid within a wellbore includes preparing a treatment fluid at an off-site location, where the treatment fluid contains at least a base fluid, an emulsifier, and a wetting agent. The method also includes transporting the treatment fluid from the off-site location to a drilling site containing the wellbore and adding the treatment fluid into the wellbore to combine with the drilling fluid and produce a treated drilling fluid.

  • Patent number: 10500482
    Abstract: A method of operating a video game system can include applying an optical filter in a field of view of a camera to filter out visible light and allow the camera to view non-visible light directed at a display screen positioned within the field of view of the camera. The method can also include processing the video output feed from the camera with a computer processor to identify a location of a non-visible light dot within the field of view of the camera that is projected onto the display screen by a light targeting peripheral unit. The method can also include calculating the location of the non-visible light dot within the field of view of the camera as a proportion of one or more dimensions of the field of view of the camera and translating the location of the non-visible light dot within the field of view of the camera onto a location on the display screen.

  • Patent number: 10245506
    Abstract: A video game system can include a console, a camera and a light targeting peripheral (LTP), where the LPT can direct non-visible light (e.g., infrared (IR) light) onto a display screen. The camera is positioned so that is can view the display screen, and can locate a non-visible light dot on the display screen during video game play. The system can be used with any size or type of electronic display (e.g., any type of television, computer screen, etc.), or any type of non-electronic display (e.g., projector screen) on which the video game can be projected.

  • Patent number: 10207178
    Abstract: A method of calibration a video game system can include removing an optical filter that filters out visible light from a field of view of a camera to allow the camera to view visible light. The method can also include displaying a calibration image on a display screen located within the field of view of the camera, processing the video output feed from the camera with a computer processor to identify the calibration image, and calculating with the processor coordinates that represent corners of the display screen in the field of view of the camera once the calibration image is identified.
