  • Publication number: 20240301681
    Abstract: A building structure automates control of insulation units. The insulation units deploy insulation components to cover portions of the building structure. For example, a first insulation unit deploys insulation on a first wall of the building structure, and a second insulation unit deploys insulation on a second wall of the building structure. A computing device processes data from sensors of the building structure to control the insulation units. For example, the insulation is deployed based on temperature readings or humidity readings inside or outside the building structure. The building structure can include other energy efficient components such as water tanks, geothermal ventilation, and a solar panel system.

  • Patent number: 11934812
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods directed to improving the functions of a vehicle. Systems and methods are provided that provide a custom tool that autogenerates a set of software agents that allows a system to separate processing, transmission and receiving of messages to achieve better synchronization. The disclosure herein also provides a simplified method of key provisioning by designating one client as a server and assigning a symmetric key to every other client permanently provisioned between that client and the server. Systems and method are further provided that predict faults in a vehicle. Systems and methods are also provided that preserve data in the event of a system crash. Systems and methods are also provided in which an operating system of a vehicle detects the presence of a new peripheral and pulls the related interface file for that new peripheral. Further, a data synchronization solution is provided herein which provides optimized levels of synchronization.

  • Publication number: 20230203848
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include a magnetic insertable lock component with a magnet-sensing lock housing. By using a magnet within a pin and a magnetic field sensor within the lock housing, the apparatus may accurately detect the state of the lock. In some embodiments, the apparatus may determine the pin is inserted fully into the lock, the pin is inserted partially into the lock, the pin is not inserted in the lock, and/or that a foreign object that is not the pin is inserted into the lock. By using a magnet within the pin to track the state of the lock, the apparatus may improve both the user experience and the security of the lock. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
