Abstract: A device and method for sending a configuration setting update to a networked endpoint device are provided. A head-end device in a communication system receives, from an endpoint device, a version audit that includes version information associated with parameter values set at one or more hierarchical level assignments for one or more applications used at the endpoint device, sends, to the endpoint device, a data packet including one or more parameter updates, and receives, from the endpoint device, an error message in response to the endpoint device failing to receive the data packet or an acknowledgement of receipt of the data packet.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing time may include receiving initial time information including an initial timestamp from a first device, adjusting a clock of the device with the initial time information, storing the initial time information as an earliest possible time, receiving additional time information, including a second timestamp, from a second device, and evaluating the additional time information. When the evaluated additional time information includes information that is unacceptable, the method may further include adjusting the clock with the second timestamp, and replacing the earliest possible time with the second timestamp. When the evaluated additional time information includes information that is acceptable, the method may further include adjusting the clock with the additional time information, and replacing the earliest possible time with the additional time information. The initial time information and additional time information may be respectively determined based on reconciled time data received from two or more proximate devices.

Abstract: An agent, of a distributed intelligence application, generates feature data for a feature. A baseline configuration of parameters is processed, associated with the distributed intelligence application, to determine a first set of parameters. The baseline configuration of parameters and a modified configuration of parameters are processed to determine a second set of parameters. The modified configuration is associated with the distributed intelligence application and indicates a difference from the baseline configuration. A snapshot of dynamic data is processed according to an algorithm using the first set of parameters to determine a first result and using the second set of parameters to determine a second result. The first result and the second result are each provided with a respective indication of the configuration used to generate the result.

Abstract: A system includes a stream partition manager configured to receive data packets input from a plurality of actors, the actors including virtual representations of physical devices, and partition the data packets into a number of stream partitions based at least in part on one or more criteria. The system further includes a plurality of stream processors communicatively coupled to the stream partition manager. Individual stream processors of the plurality of stream processors being configured to receive data packets from a stream partition of the number of stream partitions, process the data packets to generate multiple table entries, and transmit the multiple table entries in batches. The system further includes a target table communicatively coupled to the plurality of stream processors. The target table is configured to receive and store the batches received from the individual stream processors.

Abstract: Techniques for meter text detection and recognition are described herein. In an example, an application receives a first image, depicting information displayed by the meter, from an imaging device. One or more qualities of the first image may be assessed, such as focus or lighting. A setting of the imaging device may be adjusted. The adjusting may be based at least in part on the assessed quality of the first image and one or more characteristics of an optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm. Accordingly, the settings of the image-capture device are tuned to the needs of the OCR algorithm. A second image may be captured, depicting information displayed by the meter, using the imaging device adjusted according to the adjusted setting. The OCR algorithm may be applied to the second image to obtain an alphanumeric value associated with the second image. The alphanumeric value is obtained from the OCR algorithm.

Abstract: A data collection device and method for determining an alternative event condition is presented. The method includes receiving a first data communication including a first data value from a first sensor and determining a first event condition based on the first data value being beyond a predetermined threshold. The method further includes receiving additional data communications including additional data values from one or more second sensors, aggregating the first data value and the additional data values, and determining that the determination of the first event condition is incorrect based on the aggregated data values and a known relationship between the first sensor and the one or more second sensors. The method additionally includes determining a second event condition based on the first data value and the additional data values being beyond the predetermined threshold. An action may then be performed in response to the determination of the second event condition.

Abstract: Techniques for using data indicating if a gas regulator supplying gas at a regulated pressure to a gas meter (e.g., the gas meter of a house or business) within a gas distribution system has one or more lock-up failure events or venting events, wherein gas is vented to the atmosphere. The data may identify the identity of gas regulators at which the lock-up failure events or venting events occurred. Based at least in part on the identified gas regulators, a number of gas regulators having at least one of lock-up failure events or venting events that are connected to a same gas supply line may be identified. If the number of gas regulators having at least one of lock-up failure events or venting events on the identified gas supply line exceeds a threshold number this may indicate the presence of debris in the gas supply. Remedial steps may be taken, and the situation may be monitored and reassessed.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a computer-implemented method for sending a message associated with an outage event, comprising, at a first node in a network, receiving a key from a second node in the network, wherein the second node is adjacent to the first node; storing the key in a first memory, wherein the first memory is capable of operating in a low power mode; detecting an outage event; in response to detecting the outage event, operating a first processor in the low power mode; and via the first processor operating in the low power mode: generating a message, securing the message using the key, and sending the message to the second node.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for operating an electronic device within a cellular environment. The technique includes determining a coverage enhancement (CE) parameter and one or more radio frequency (RF) link parameters associated with a link between the electronic device and a cellular base station at a first point in time. The technique also includes computing a first estimate for a signal condition associated with the link based on the CE parameter and the one or more RF link parameters. The technique further includes determining that the signal condition is not adequate based on the first estimate and delaying transmission of one or more messages from the electronic device over the link until a second point in time that is later than the first point in time.
