  • Publication number: 20230182791
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a railyard system. In one example, a method for managing a railyard comprises, within the railyard, positioning a cargo unit on a multi-directional pad and moving the pad multi-directionally based on a requested order for the cargo unit relative to other cargo units, where the requested order corresponds to an order of cargo units on railcars of an outbound train. The multi-directional pad may operate within an arena, where the arena includes a concrete surface depressed into the ground such that a surface of the pad is level with a surface of the ground surrounding the arena, thereby allowing railcars to be pushed onto the pad by a locomotive of a train.

  • Patent number: 11570744
    Abstract: A first computing system can receive a proximity message from a source device, the proximity message comprising a device identifier and a network address. The first computing system can further determine that the first computing system is within a particular distance of the source device based, at least in part, on the proximity message. In response, the first computing system can send a proximity notification to a second computing system. The proximity notification can comprise the device identifier and a user identifier. The second computing system can receive the proximity notification. The second computing system can further determine user metadata associated with the user identifier. The second computing system can further determine a third computing system based, at least in part, on a mapping between the device identifier and a computing system identifier. The second computing system can further send the user metadata to the third computing system.

  • Patent number: 11550635
    Abstract: Techniques are described for filtering and normalizing training data used to build a predictive auto scaling model used by a service provider network to proactively scale users' computing resources. Further described are techniques for identifying collections of computing resources that exhibit suitably predictable usage patterns such that a predictive auto scaling model can be used to forecast future usage patterns with reasonable accuracy and to scale the resources based on such generated forecasts. The filtering of training data and the identification of suitably predictable collections of computing resources are based in part on autocorrelation analyses, and in particular on “delayed” autocorrelation analyses, of time series data, among other techniques described herein.

  • Patent number: 11432257
    Abstract: A device can receive a proximity message comprising a base station identifier and a network address. The device can determine that the device is within a particular distance of a base station associated with the base station identifier based, at least in part, on the proximity message. In response to a determination that the device is within the particular distance of the base station, the device can display an actionable notification. The device can further determine that an action associated with the actionable notification has been performed. In response to a determination that the action has been performed, the device can send a proximity notification to a server identified by the network address, wherein the proximity notification comprises the base station identifier.

  • Patent number: 10979436
    Abstract: A policy associated with a notification received by one or more computer systems is obtained. A first request is submitted, to a service, for a first current capacity of a resource. An amount by which to adjust a capacity of the resource is calculated, based at least in part on the policy and the first current capacity. A second request is submitted, to the service, to adjust the capacity of the resource by the amount. A third request is submitted, to the service, for a second current capacity of the resource, and whether the second request has been fulfilled is determined based at least in part on a comparison between the second current capacity and the response to the third request.

  • Publication number: 20210004245
    Abstract: In one implementation, an adapter device includes a processor and a storage medium including instructions. The instructions are executable by the processor to: deploy a composer container in the adapter device, wherein the adapter device is coupled to a host device; receive, by the composer container, a plurality of adapter service requests from the host device; and in response to the plurality of service requests, deploy, by the composer container, a plurality of service containers in the adapter device, wherein each service container is to provide a particular adapter service to the host device, and wherein each service container is allocated a subset of the plurality of computing resources of the adapter device.

  • Patent number: 10732214
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for identifying a location of a fault in a hybrid high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system having a ground or underground cable section and an overhead line section. Some methods comprise determining whether a characteristic voltage oscillation is present at a cable side terminal of the HVDC transmission system, and in response, determining that the fault is located in the overhead line section. Some methods comprise determining whether a characteristic current oscillation or a terminal current exceeding a peak current threshold is present at an overhead line side terminal, and in response, determining that the fault is located in the overhead line section. The methods can be communication-less, wherein the actions are based on local measurements and/or are performed locally to where the fault is located or detected.

  • Patent number: 10412022
    Abstract: A scaling notification is received that includes a current capacity for a scalable target of a resource. A policy associated with the scaling notification is obtained. A new capacity is computed for the scalable target, based at least in part on the policy and the current capacity of the scalable target. A scaling request is made to an application programming interface endpoint for the scalable target, with the request including a new capacity for the scalable target, thereby causing the current capacity of the scalable target to change to the new capacity.
