Separate sets of infrastructure modules can be installed incrementally based on incrementally changing support capacity for the corresponding type of infrastructure support in the data center. Such incrementally changing support capacity can be based upon support requirements of electrical loads, including rack computer systems, which are inbound to the data center. Where support capacity for a particular type of infrastructure support drops below a threshold, a quantity of additional infrastructure modules which provide the particular type of infrastructure support can be selected and installed to increase the support capacity.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Osvaldo P.

Patent number: 9973912Abstract: As sensor technology becomes more pervasive in our daily lives, an issue which arises is how to efficiently deal with the large volume of data created by these sensors. Typically, a sensor is capable of capturing far more information than is necessary for use in any given application. However, different types and amounts of data may be needed for different applications and different levels of accuracy at different times. Therefore, it is desirable that sensors are able to continue to collect comprehensive amounts of data and to send it to a unit which is able to optimize the data storage and transmission in order to reduce both upstream and downstream burdens caused by large sensor data volumes. Disclosed herein are several examples of communications devices. Communications devices can be modular, as shown, and/or stackable, as shown. An advantage to modular/stackable systems is that they can be easily customized to specific demands.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Zen-me Labs OyInventor: Toni Matti Virhiä

Patent number: 9954993Abstract: An apparatus for communicating with a handheld device (e.g., a cellular telephone) is provided herein. A protective shroud is configured to enclose the handheld device and protect it against incidents that commonly cause damage to handheld devices. Integral to the protective shroud is at least one of an input component configured to receive user input and a wireless transceiver configured to transmit signals to and/or receive signals from the handheld device. In one example, where both the input component and the wireless transceiver are integral to the protective shroud, signals related to received user input (e.g., where the shroud serves as a keypad) may be transmitted to the handheld device even if the protective shroud is removed from the handheld device.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2015Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Timothy S. Paek, Eric Norman Badger, Daniel Allen Rosenfeld
