Publication number: 20240128791Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is operated to selectively provide energy to a critical load from a grid and an energy storage device and to transfer energy between the energy storage device and the grid. A controller causes the UPS to selectively support bidirectional and unidirectional transfers of energy between the grid and the energy storage device based on a state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Vincent Edward Wilder, George Arthur Navarro, Steven Andrew Moore, Amit G.

Patent number: 9942145Abstract: Present disclosure relates to methods for preparing BGP update messages for transmission and processing received update messages. The methods are based on grouping path attributes common to a plurality of IP address prefixes into respective sets identified with respective set identifiers and, instead of duplicating path attributes in each BGP update message, including a respective identifier referring to a certain set of path attributes provided in an earlier BGP update message when sending subsequent update messages. Grouping of path attributes into individual sets associated with respective identifiers provides significant advantages by enabling re-use of the results of previous processing on both the sending and receiving sides associated with transmission of BGP update messages. In addition, such an approach limits the amount of information transmitted in the control plane because duplicate sets of path attributes may only be transmitted once and merely be referred to in subsequent update messages.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yi Yang, Alvaro E. Retana, Steven Edward Moore, James L. Ng, Timothy M. Gage

Patent number: 9191227Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method and system is provided to determine and advertise a route advertisement in a reactive routing environment. In response to receiving a network address query with respect to a destination address at a routing device, an aggregate value, e.g. an address prefix, is determined and advertised in reply to the network address query. Determining of the aggregate value may comprise identifying within a range of network addresses represented by the aggregate value respective addresses for which the routing device does not have reachability information. The routing device may send address queries with respect to the identified addresses, to determine reachability via the routing device of those addresses. The aggregate value may be advertised conditional upon determining that a percentage of addresses within the corresponding range that can be reached via the routing device satisfies a predefined minimal coverage value.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Russell I. White, Steven Edward Moore, James L. Ng, Alvaro Enrique Retana

Patent number: 8953470Abstract: A system and method for facilitating connecting a switch to a network to improve network performance. In an illustrative embodiment, the system includes a first module for determining when the switch is initially connected to a network and providing a signal in response thereto. A second module selectively forms adjacencies with peers of the switch in response to the signal and based on one or more predetermined parameters. In a more specific embodiment, the switch is a router or Layer-3 (L3) switch. The one or more predetermined parameters include a load factor, values pertaining to capabilities of a processor included in the router, bandwidth capabilities of the interface and/or the router, internal router queue counts, and so on. The router employs a routing protocol such as Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). The second module throttles and adjacency-formation rate based on the predetermined parameters.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2011Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Thuan Van Tran, Donnie Van Savage, Donald Earl Slice, Jr., Steven Edward Moore, Yi Yang, James L.

Patent number: 8121130Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method is provided. In this method, a network address query is received. A first network address of a known apparatus is retrieved from a routing table, in response to the network address query. A second network address may be determined based upon the network address query, the second network address having a smaller bit length than the first network address. An aggregate value may be advertised that represents a range of reachable network addresses, the range of reachable network addresses including the second network address.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2007Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Russell I.

Publication number: 20090326723Abstract: An irrigation control system and method for controlling irrigation based on weather data. Weather data such as wind, temperature, solar radiation, humidity, and rainfall, may be collected at one or more weather stations for a region. The weather data may be compiled on a computer and transmitted to a paging broadcast service. The weather data may then be transmitted by the paging broadcast service to controller interfaces associated with irrigation systems throughout the region. The controller interfaces may adjust irrigation controllers associated with the irrigation systems based on the weather data such that the proper amount of water is applied. This allows the water to be used more efficiently and the health of the landscape to be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2009Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: IRRISOFT, INC.Inventors: Steven Edward Moore, Travis L.
