  • Patent number: 11772678
    Abstract: A method for outputting recommendations for energy efficient operation of a vehicle having at least two modes of operation, from which an operating mode is respectively selected by a drive controller, depending on the occurrence of specified triggers, for operating the vehicle. A change of operating mode caused by the trigger is determined. A frequency of the change of operating mode is incremented at every determination of the change of operating mode caused by the trigger. The frequency is analyzed by comparing the frequency of the change of operating mode a predetermined value. A message is generated on a case-by-case basis. The message is output via at least one output comprised by the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11679237
    Abstract: A medical device includes a handle; flexible tubing extending from the handle and having a proximal end fixed to the handle; flexible tip attached to the distal end of the flexible tubing; a tip actuator assembly adjusting the bending plane of the tip relative to the distal end and adjusting the degree of bending of the tip in the bending plane; user operable controls on the handle and moveable in a first, rotational direction relative to the handle and to a tip actuator assembly around an axis causing the tip actuator assembly to adjust the bending plane of the tip substantially and moveable relative to the handle and the tip actuator assembly along a second, substantially linear direction towards and away from the proximal end of the flexible tubing, causing the tip actuator assembly to adjust bending of the tip in the bending plane without adjusting the bending plane.

  • Publication number: 20230095245
    Abstract: A method adapts vehicle functionality that is automatically carried out by an assistance system. In a method in which misunderstandings between driver and vehicle are prevented in predetermined driving situations, when the driver aborts the automatically carried out functionality, this abortion is recorded and saved. If the abortion frequency exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the aborted functionality is replaced by a modified or new functionality.

  • Patent number: 11088990
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for distributing firewall configuration in a datacenter comprising multiple host machines. The method retrieves a rule in the firewall configuration for distribution to the host machines. The firewall rule is associated with a minimum required version number. The method identifies a high-level construct in the firewall rule. The method queries a translation cache for the identified high-level construct. The translation cache stores previous translation results for different high-level constructs. Each stored translation result is associated with a version number. When the translation cache has a stored previous translation result for the identified high-level construct that is associated with a version number that is equal to or newer than the minimum required version number, the method uses the previous translation result stored in the cache to translate the identified high-level construct to a low-level construct.

  • Patent number: 11082400
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for managing firewall protection in a datacenter that includes multiple host machines that each hosts a set of data compute nodes. The method maintains a firewall configuration for the host machines at a network manager of the data center. The firewall configuration includes multiple firewall rules to be enforced at the host machines. The method aggregates a first set of updates to the firewall configuration into a first aggregated update and associates the first aggregated update with a first version number. The method distributes a first host-level firewall configuration update to a first host machine based on the first aggregated update and associates the first host machine with the first version number. The method aggregates a second set of updates to the firewall configuration into a second aggregated update and associates the second aggregated update with a second version number.

  • Patent number: 10668572
    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to welding, and more particularly to a consumable electrode wire for metal arc welding, and a method and a system for metal arc welding using the consumable electrode wire. In one aspect, a consumable welding wire configured to serve as an electrode during metal arc welding comprises one or more alkaline earth metal elements at a concentration between 0.005% and 10% on the basis of a total weight of the welding wire.

  • Patent number: 10183351
    Abstract: An arc welding system includes a welding torch, an electrode, and a power supply having a switching-type power converter connected to the torch. A parallel state-based controller is connected to the power converter and provides a waveform control signal thereto for controlling its operations. The controller generates a motion control signal for controlling movements of the electrode and/or the torch. A sensor senses welding voltage or welding current. A memory stores a welding state table comprising sequential control states, and stores a motion control system state table comprising further sequential control states. The welding waveform is defined in the welding state table. The controller controls the operations of the power converter through the waveform control signal according to the welding state table, simultaneously adjusting the motion control signal according to the motion control system state table. The controller transitions between control states according to the signal received from the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20190018710
    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for managing resource allocation of a managed system, responsive to a request by a consumer node, an owner node of a plurality of owner nodes that controls resource allocations from the pool of resources is determined, where the resource is associated with a data object. A resource is allocated from a pool of resources comprising a plurality of resources by the owner node. An allocation marker corresponding to the resource is created. The resource and the allocation marker are made available for retrieval by the consumer node.
