Introduced here are surveillance systems and associated approaches for obfuscating biometric identifiers generated by, or available to, those surveillance systems for privacy reasons. In the event that a surveillance system generates a biometric identifier (e.g., by imaging a face of a person entering the premises of an organization), caution must be taken to only share the biometric identifier with individuals as necessary for security reasons.

The time series data is monitored for anomalies by comparing actual observed values in the time series with the predicted values and confidence intervals, according to the SCRs. The SCRs may be defined and tuned via a configuration interface that allows users to visually see how different SCRs perform over real data. Advantageously, the disclosed system allows users to create custom anomaly detection triggers for different types of time series data, without use of a monolithic detection model which can be difficult to tune.

Disclosed are techniques related to performing wireless sidelink communication. Originating (e.g., transmitting) and target (e.g., receiving) apparatuses may operate in a NACK-only mode. In this mode, the target apparatus only provides NACK feedbacks to transmissions that it did not receive. Lack of NACK feedback is interpreted by the originating apparatus that the transmissions were successfully received. However, the target apparatus maybe incapable of transmitting NACK for each of missed transmission. In NACK-only mode, the originating would not retransmit these missed transmissions. To address this issue, the target apparatus can transmit a multi-transmission NACK feedback to indicate that multiple transmissions were not successfully received. The multi-transmission NACK is a single feedback, and thus can enable a target apparatus with limited feedback capacity to indicate NACK for multiple transmissions.

The method further includes allocating one of the identified charging systems to receive charge from the energy storage device and store the received amount of charge. The allocated charging system travels to a location of the energy storage device to receive the determined amount of charge from the energy storage device.

A control device includes: a phase error calculation unit to calculate a phase error between a phase of a voltage command for the power converter and a phase of a point-of-interconnection voltage; and an isolated system determination unit to determine whether the AC power system has shifted from an interconnected system to an isolated system, based on the phase error and a magnitude of the point-of-interconnection voltage, the interconnected system being the AC power system connected to a generator, the isolated system being the AC power system not connected to the generator. The isolated system determination unit determines that the AC power system has shifted from the interconnected system to the isolated system, when at least a first condition is met that the phase error is outside a reference range and the magnitude of the point-of-interconnection voltage is greater than a first voltage threshold.

The methods and apparatus described enable automatic configuration, or commissioning, of controller devices and load control devices through a low voltage communication network controlled by one or more controller devices. These methods and apparatus further enable expansion of the load control system by connection of additional loads and or load control devices and or controller devices which will reinitialize the low voltage communication network and automatically reconfigure the controller devices and load control devices connected to the network.
