Patent number: 12200062Abstract: IoT devices within a commercial real-estate or residential building environment may be connected through networks, such as a Building Automation and Control network (BACnet). Systems and methods according to this disclosure provide automatic discovery of IoT devices and relationships in commercial real-estate and residential buildings and integration of the BACnet devices into the digital twin of the building. In some implementations, an IoT gateway is configured to translate the communication received from the BACnet to an IoT cloud platform and configured to normalize the data across the different security platforms into a consistent format which enables integration and interoperability of the different building system platforms that may otherwise be operating in isolation from each other.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: CohesionIB Inc.Inventors: Robert Knight, Nikunj Patel, Rick Szcodronski

Patent number: 8949637Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, upon occurrence of multiple power state transition events for a core of a multi-core processor, reading a value of a system counter of the core and values of low power counters of the core, without expiration of a timer or triggering of an interrupt. These values can be stored in a storage of the processor. Then, after collection is completed, the storage can be accessed to determine a power profile of the processor using the stored values. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2011Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Robert Knight

Patent number: 8762694Abstract: Method, apparatus, and system for a programmable event-driven yield mechanism. The mechanism may disrupt processing of a program to deliver a yield event. The event may be treated as a fault-like yield event or a trap-like event. For a fault-like yield event, the faulting instruction is canceled before retirement and processor state is not updated before the yield event is delivered. For a trap-like yield event the instruction causing the trap is retired and the yield event is delivered on an interrupt boundary. Multiple pending yield events may be handled according to priority. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Xiang Zou, Hong Wang, Robert Knight, Robert Geva, Gautham Chinya, Scott Dion Rodgers, Chris Newburn, Bryant E.

Patent number: 8679761Abstract: A method for detecting inflammation in the urinary tract or urethra of a patient, especially urethritis, comprises a) contacting leucocytes obtained from a urine sample provided by the patient with a luminescence reagent which emits light on reaction with an oxidant; b) adding an activator to the mixture of leucocytes and luminescence reagent; c) continuously monitoring and/or measuring light emitted by the luminescence reagent over a predetermined time period commencing before and ending after the addition of the activator. The light emission is indicative of the presence or absence of inflammation in the urinary tract or urethra of the patient. The urine sample is preferably a sample of first pass urine. The method makes possible a diagnosis especially of urethritis and, in particular, urethral infections selected from Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which can be carried out quickly without invasive procedures.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Knight Scientific LimitedInventors: Jan Knight, Robert Knight
