Abstract: A method of operating a drilling rig (that includes electrically powered equipment) and an energy supply system (that includes a battery storage, one or more generators, and an electrical bus that powers the drilling rig) includes: determining, by the energy supply system, a power demand of the drilling rig; comparing the power demand to a battery power threshold. When the power demand is less than or equal to the battery power threshold, the energy supply system enters a stealth mode by deactivating and disconnecting all generators from the electrical bus and powering the electrical bus and the drilling rig with only the battery storage. When the power demand is greater than the battery power threshold, the energy supply system powers the electrical bus with at least one of the one or more generators. The battery power threshold is based on a maximum power output rating of the battery storage.

Abstract: A respiratory device and system, and in particular a respiratory device that is usable with a plurality of removable electronic function components that that can communicate wirelessly with other devices. In one embodiment, a respiratory device comprises a body, at least a portion of the body defining a volume; a mask communications unit (MCU) at least partially located within the volume; at least one electrical function component in communication with the MCU; and a rechargeable power source at least partially located within the volume, the rechargeable power source providing power to each of the at least one electrical function components.

Abstract: A package includes a device and a package substrate. The device includes a plurality of electrical pads, and has a periphery that defines a footprint. The package substrate, further includes a first substrate surface to which the device is attached, a second substrate surface, and a set of electrical contacts attached to the second substrate surface.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for providing power management apparatus for a circuit in a processor-based system. The apparatus comprises a memory to store instruction sequences by which the processor-based system is processed and a processor coupled to the memory. The stored instruction sequences cause the processor to: (a) determine a system access time of the circuit; (b) determine if the system access time is less than a first predetermined value, if so, increasing an accessibility period of the circuit, during which the circuit is active. Various embodiments are described.
