摘要:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates managing energy consumption with an energy sink device in order to reduce energy costs. An energy sink device can consume a portion of energy. An interface component can receive a portion of data related to at least one of a real time energy rate or a user presence. An energy manager can dynamically control the energy sink device for efficient consumption of the portion of energy for reduced energy costs based at least in part upon the evaluation of the portion of received data. The energy manager can leverage the real time energy rate and the user presence in order to employ at least one of a power on the energy sink device, a power off the energy sink device, or an adjust a setting for the energy sink device.

A smart interconnect for modular multi-component embedded devices is described. In an embodiment of a smart interconnect for modular multi-component embedded devices, a desired functionality of a stack of hardware boards is accessed. For example, a user may select a new functionality for the stack of hardware boards. The desired functionality is then transmitted to a board in the stack of hardware boards and the board is configured to implement the desired functionality of the stack of hardware boards.

Image text enhancement techniques are described. In an implementation, graphically represented text included in an original image is converted into process capable text. The process capable text may be used to generate a text image which may replace the original text to enhance the image. In further implementations the process capable text may be translated from a first language to a second language for inclusion in the enhanced image.
摘要:
A bus system in which a bus controller, such as a complex programmable logic device, manages a communication channel coupling modules which can implement a node in a sensor network and/or an embedded system device. The system abstracts the communication channel from communicating processors of the modules. A processor of each module interacts with the communication channel through the bus controller. In this manner, the communication channel is decoupled from the processor, allowing different processors running at different speeds to share the communication channel without impacting throughput of the communication channel. The bus controller and the processors of the modules can employ a handshake protocol to asynchronously communicate with each other. The bus controllers can employ a reconfigurable TDMA protocol to communicate with each other and/or communicate between modules.
摘要:
A procedure identifies multiple objects or processes to be monitored and identifies multiple devices to monitor the multiple objects or execute the multiple processes. The procedure continues by identifying multiple tasks to be executed by the multiple devices and predicting a trajectory for each of the multiple objects. A determination is made regarding which device should be executing each of the multiple tasks based on the predicted trajectory for each of the multiple objects.
摘要:
A system (1) for transferring data from one database to another database includes a control module (10) and a data transferring module (20). The data transferring module is controlled by the control module, and in one embodiment includes a retrieving module (200), a connecting module (202), an exporting module (204), and a deleting module (210). The data transferring module automatically retrieves data from a first database (5), exports retrieved data to a second database (7), and automatically deletes data that has been retrieved in the first database. A corresponding method for automatically transferring data from one database to another database is also provided.
摘要:
A system for the distributed diagnosis of a physical system includes serveral local diagnostic subsystems that generate local diagnoses based on observations of a component of the physical system. An interface is defined by which the local diagnostic subsystems communicate. Further, an algorithm for assembling a global diagnosis from the local diagnoses is fined.

A bistable sensor with a tunable threshold for use in microelectromechanical systems. The sensor uses electrostatic force to modify the threshold and to disable the sensor in a deflected position once a sustained extreme in vibration is detected. Potential applications include mechanical implementations of signature analysis to automatically eliminate large amplitude noise at a specific frequency, shock detection without requiring quiescent DC power consumption, and determination of the magnitude of a shock.
摘要:
Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for distance measurements between computing devices. Some examples determine a distance between devices based at least in part on a propagation time of audio tones between the devices. Further, some examples determine the arrival time of the audio tones by performing autocorrelation on streaming data corresponding to recorded sound to determine a timing of an autocorrelation peak indicative of a detection of an audio tone in the streaming data. In some cases, cross correlation may be performed on the streaming data in a search window to determine a timing of a cross correlation peak indicative of the detection of the audio tone in the streaming data. The location of the search window in time may be determined based at least in part on the timing of the detected autocorrelation peak.
