    摘要: Systems and methods for managing and utilizing heat associated with battery charge and/or discharge cycles are described herein. A system as described herein includes a battery array comprising one or more batteries, a heat collector physically coupled to respective batteries of the battery array that captures heat associated with at least one of charge cycles or discharge cycles of the respective batteries of the battery array, and a routing controller communicatively coupled to the heat collector that initiates transference of the heat captured by the heat collector as an energy source to one or more subsystems that are distinct from the heat collector.

    摘要: Techniques that facilitate drone delivery and landing, particularly with respect to home and commercial package delivery, are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises: detecting, by a system comprising a processor, presence of a drone device within a defined vicinity of a protected area, wherein the protected area is accessible via an opening that is blocked by a physical barrier. The method further comprises controlling, by the system, access by the drone device to the protected area to drop off or pick up a package by controlling removal of the physical barrier based in part on detection of the drone device within the defined vicinity of the protected area.

    摘要: At least one shingle is integrated with logic circuitry and various other components which enable high-level functionality and automated system diagnostics. Each shingle can automatically determine its absolute position on a rooftop and/or its position relative to other shingles in the smart shingle system. Each shingle can also detect various changes in its own power generation, efficiency, and/or operating conditions, as well as those of neighboring shingles. Each shingle can then leverage this information to conduct system diagnostics and possibly to generate and/or execute recommended solutions. In another embodiment, each shingle can be coupled to a centralized controller which can perform the same automapping and diagnostic functions. The controller can also monitor the power usage of the building to help optimize the power generation of the smart shingle system. In some embodiments, the smart shingle system can be outfitted with heating components and/or actuators to help automate the process of keeping the smart shingles clear of debris.
