  • Patent number: 11726538
    Abstract: A method and a device are for power supply switchover in a power system, including two power supplies, each being connected to a bus through an incoming line. The power supply currently in operation is used as the main power supply and the other power supply is used as a backup power supply. Both the incoming line and the bus have three phases, and the lines are connected by their phases. In an embodiment, the method includes: determining whether there is at least one sound phase among the three phases after identifying a fault in the power system; and if there is, obtaining a power data on the sound phase before the main power supply is disconnected. The power data is usable to determine whether the backup power supply meets the condition for connecting in the quick mode after the main power supply is disconnected.

  • Patent number: 11722399
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for route invalidation. In one example method, a common ancestor node of a network determines switching of a parent node of a node based on an update message received from the node using a new routing path established based on the switching of the parent node. The common ancestor node generates a No-Path message based on the update message. The No-Path message is for invalidating a previous routing path associated with the node on the switching of the parent node. The update message comprises at least one bit authorizing generation of the No-Path message by the common ancestor node. The at least one bit is placed in a transit information option in the update message.

  • Publication number: 20230223835
    Abstract: A serial-parallel converter protection system includes a controller, a drive, a first switching transistor, and a second switching transistor. An input terminal of a converter is connected to an output terminal of the converter through the first switching transistor. The output terminal of the converter is connected in parallel with the second switching transistor. When an output voltage of the converter is greater than a first threshold, the controller controls the first switching transistor to be turned off and controls the second switching transistor to be turned on. In some embodiments, when the output voltage of the converter is greater than the first threshold, the controller controls the first switching transistor to be turned off and controls the second switching transistor to be turned on, so that the converter is bypassed, thereby preventing a voltage and a current from impacting a component inside the converter.

  • Publication number: 20230208182
    Abstract: A power supply system and method. The power supply system includes: a first branch on which a first string is located, a second branch on which a second string is located, a transfer switch unit, a first voltage compensation unit, and a controller. The transfer switch unit is configured to connect the first voltage compensation unit to the first branch based on a voltage compensation enabling signal received from the controller, where the voltage compensation enabling signal is generated by the controller based on an operating state parameter of the first string and an operating state parameter of the second string. The first voltage compensation unit is configured to compensate for an output voltage of the first branch. Thus the system and method can prevent the voltage compensation unit from causing an unnecessary system loss in the branch requiring no voltage compensation, and reduce system costs.

  • Patent number: 11671210
    Abstract: This application provide a retransmission control method, a communications interface, and an electronic device. When a transmit end transmits a first data packet to a receive end and does not receive an acknowledgement corresponding to the first data packet within a first RTO, the transmit end retransmits a second data packet based on a second RTO. The second data packet is a data packet transmitted by the transmit end after the transmit end transmits the first data packet. The second RTO is related to a receive timestamp of the acknowledgement corresponding to the first data packet and a transmit timestamp of the first data packet.

  • Patent number: 11538985
    Abstract: A method for configuring a reconfigurable physical unclonable function (PUF) based on a device with spin-orbit torque (SOT) effect is provided. The disclosure uses SOT or magnetic field to change the magnetic moment. After the current or magnetic field is removed, the magnetic moment returns to the easy axis direction. Under the effect of thermal fluctuation, the magnetic moment is randomly oriented in the easy axis direction. The non-volatile devices are formed into an array, the magnetic moments of all non-volatile devices are randomly distributed after a write operation. The read state can be used as a random code to implement the reconfigurable PUF. The PUF has a simple structure and guarantees security. The random code in the disclosure may be two-state or multi-state, which is related to the number of magnetic domains of the ferromagnetic layer. A large number of challenge response pairs form a strong PUF.

  • Publication number: 20220385231
    Abstract: A power converter box and at least one junction box are integrated on a backplane of the photovoltaic module as a whole, and there is a cable for connecting the power converter and the junction box. In this case, relative to the conventional technology in which a junction box is independent of a power converter, a length of a cable used when the junction box and the power converter box are taken as a whole is shorter than a length of a cable used in the conventional technology. In this case, compared with the conventional technology in which a cable is connected to an independently placed power converter, the power converter only needs to establish a connection relationship by using a solder ribbon, a circuit board cable, and the like with low costs, so that production costs are low.
