  • Patent number: 12200090
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a multiphase clock generation. An example method includes facilitating, by a phase interpolator (PI) circuit comprising a plurality of PIs, transfer of information across one or both of a transmit (TX) lane or a receive (RX) lane, wherein the transfer of information is based on a clock timing. The PI circuit receives, from a clock-and-data recovery (CDR) circuit, a plurality of input clock phases. The CDR circuit comprises a centrally located phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit and a plurality of multiphase generators. In some embodiments, each multiphase generator of the plurality of multiphase generators is adjacent to a respective PI of the plurality of PIs. Based on the plurality of input clock phases, the PI circuit adjusts, the clock timing for the transfer of information.

  • Patent number: 10968669
    Abstract: A system and method for a door is disclosed. The system includes a frame magnetic lock assembly mounted to a door frame, and a door magnetic lock assembly mounted to a door for receiving inductively transferred power from the frame magnetic lock assembly. The door system also includes a door electronics subsystem mounted to the door that includes a power management system that provides power to the door from the inductively transferred power, and charges an energy storage element at the door from the inductively transferred power. The power management system provides power to the door from the energy storage element when the inductively transferred power is not available at the door, such as when the door is open, and resumes providing power to the door from the inductively transferred power once the inductively transferred power is restored. Once restored, some of the inductive power recharges the energy storage element.

  • Patent number: 10943415
    Abstract: A system and method for a door system is disclosed. The system produces an inductive power transfer signal and modulates the inductive power transfer signal. The system also encodes data within the modulated inductive power transfer signal and transmits the signal at a door frame of a door. At the door, the system receives the modulated inductive power transfer signal and extracts data from the received signal, and transduces the received signal into a door power signal. The system also supports secure data transfer by encrypting the encoded data at the door frame and decrypting the extracted data at the door. As a result, the modulated inductive power transfer signal between the door frame and the door provides a secure wireless data transfer channel for configuring components at the door and/or displaying data at the door, while also providing power to components at the door.

  • Patent number: 10861264
    Abstract: A load control system includes a power supply, a load controller coupled to a load, and a supply controller. The load controller receives a first power having a first current level from the power supply, and uses the first power to cause a plurality of resistors to output a plurality of pre-defined codes. The supply controller receives the plurality of pre-defined codes, evaluates an output condition based on the plurality of pre-defined codes, and causes the power supply to output a second power having a second current level greater than the first level responsive to the plurality of pre-defined codes satisfying the output condition.

  • Patent number: 10445121
    Abstract: A computer system receives a request to instantiate a virtual machine (VM) in a first target cloud and a second target cloud. The target clouds operate with different configuration parameters. The system modifies a generic VM disk image that is not formatted for the first or second target cloud to create a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the first target cloud and a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the second target cloud. The first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the first target cloud configuration parameters, and the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the second target cloud configuration parameters. The system instantiates a VM in the first target cloud using the first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image and a VM in the second target cloud using the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image.

  • Patent number: 10438425
    Abstract: An access control reader device integrates a touch pad in proximity to a radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna. A touch pad circuit board includes the RF antenna having a physical aperture and the capacitive touch pad positioned at least partially within the physical aperture of the RF antenna. This configuration allows the RFID reader to detect RFID tags in proximity to the capacitive touch pad. In order to prevent interference, such as the formation of eddy currents, the sensors of the touch pad are in the form of interrupted loops.

  • Patent number: 9519472
    Abstract: A server computing system receives a request to instantiate a virtual machine in a cloud. The request is associated with a template that specifies the operating system and software packages to be installed on the virtual machine. The system splits the installation of the virtual machine into creating a minimal operating system installation, customizing the minimal installation, and generating a disk image of the customized minimal installation. The system creates a minimal installation of the specified operating system, executes the minimal operating system in a virtual machine guest, and customizes the minimal installation of the operating system as specified in the template. The system generates a virtual machine disk image of the customized minimal installation that is a cloud generic virtual machine disk image an is configurable to instantiate the virtual machine in clouds provided by different cloud providers.
