Device Installation With Host Controller Consideration

View page
US Patent:
7725613, May 25, 2010
Filed:
Feb 27, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/276397
Inventors:
Vatsal Bhardwaj - Seattle WA, US
Joby S. Lafky - Seattle WA, US
Sanford L. Spinrad - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 3/00
G06F 9/00
US Classification:
710 8, 710 10, 710104, 713 1, 717174, 719327
Abstract:
A system for installing an electronic device connected to a host device with consideration given to the host controller that enables the connection mechanism is provided. Information about the electronic device and the host controller is determined. An identifier that identifies the electronic device and the host controller is created based on the determined information. The identifier is used to search for a device driver for the electronic device that is specific to the host controller.

Cryptographic Protocol For Commonly Controlled Devices

View page
US Patent:
20070269040, Nov 22, 2007
Filed:
May 16, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/383725
Inventors:
Gideon A. Yuval - Mercer Island WA, US
Peter E.H. Hauser - Kirkland WA, US
Yacov Yacobi - Mercer Island WA, US
Daniel R. Simon - Kirkland WA, US
Joby S. Lafky - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
H04L 9/30
US Classification:
380 30
Abstract:
This document describes tools that enable secure communication between devices that are within a user's common control. These commonly controlled devices may follow a protocol, for example, where each commits to its own public key and receives a commitment of the other's public key, publishes its own public key and receives the other's public key, and authenticates the other's public key based on the received commitment of the other's public key. If authentic, each device computes an identifier based on the other's public key and its own private key associated with its own public key. A user may interact with the devices to confirm that the identifiers are the same. If they are the same, the devices may communicate securely.

Systems And Methods For Electric Vehicle Power Flow Management

View page
US Patent:
20110004358, Jan 6, 2011
Filed:
Mar 31, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/751821
Inventors:
Seth B. Pollack - Seattle WA, US
Seth W. Bridges - Seattle WA, US
Joby Lafky - Seattle WA, US
Zachary Axelrod - Washington DC, US
Assignee:
GridPoint, Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
700297
Abstract:
A system and methods that enables power flow management at the local level. A power flow manager can coordinate the charging activities of electrical devices, such as electric vehicles. Power flow decisions may based on the site-level information. In addition, power flow management strategies may be optimized. An optimizer can choose a power flow management strategy and electrical devices for implementing a strategy. In the event of a system failure, power spikes may be avoided by using safe failure modes to provide that the charging activities be coordinated in a predictable and non-disruptive manner. The cost of providing power may be reduced using generation stacks of power production. As such, the total daily cost of providing energy generation may be minimized.

US Patent:
20110007824, Jan 13, 2011
Filed:
Mar 31, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/751853
Inventors:
Seth W. Bridges - Seattle WA, US
Joby Lafky - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
GridPoint, Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
H04B 3/00
H02J 3/14
US Classification:
375257, 307 40
Abstract:
A system and method that minimizes network traffic consumption in a power flow management system is described. A minimization system may include a network to communicate device information and power flow information between the power flow management system and the devices. The power flow management system reduces consumption of the traffic traversing the network via a network traffic consumption reduction technique. In addition, this application discloses a system and method for communications protocol translation in a power flow management system that includes networks which connect electric devices and electric power supplies. One network utilizes a communications protocol that is different from the communications protocol utilized by another network. A communications protocol translation device communicates with the networks, and formulates messages from one communications protocol to the other communications protocol. The reformulated messages pass from one network to another network.

20110010043, Jan 13, 2011
Filed:
Mar 31, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/751862
Inventors:
Joby Lafky - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
GridPoint, Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
G06F 9/46
G06F 13/38

US Classification:
701 33, 719313, 710100, 709246, 709217, 320109
Abstract:
A system and methods that enables enhanced vehicle communications for electric vehicle power management. In an embodiment, a system provides for communications in a power flow management system utilizing existing hardware including a smart charging module. In another embodiment, a communications module provides communication services to vehicle subsystems including a central processing unit in a vehicle and a CAN-bus transceiver. In yet another embodiment, an interface enables the installation of a charge controller for a control extensibility system including a physical interface to a vehicle's CAN-bus comprising an electrical contact plug. In an embodiment, an interface enables an electric vehicle to communicate with an electric power supply device without specific hardware by modulating the power transfer between the electrical load and an electric power supply. In another embodiment, a system provides for arbitrating a smart chargepoint includes a first smart charging module implemented on equipment located inside a vehicle.

US Patent:
20130217409, Aug 22, 2013
Filed:
Nov 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/671717
Inventors:
Seth B. Pollack - Seattle WA, US
Joby Lafky - Seattle WA, US
Jeremy Davis - Seattle WA, US
Zachary Axelrod - Washington DC, US
Assignee:
GridPoint, Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
4554561
Abstract:
A system that enables power flow management for electrical devices, such as electric vehicles. Power flow managers can coordinate charging activities. Power flow decisions may be based on site-level information. Power flow management strategies may be optimized. Power spikes may be avoided by using safe failure modes. Generation stacks may be used for reducing cost. AGC commands are used to control power resources. Power regulation are apportioned to power resources, and power regulation ranges may be determined. Power flow strategies are implemented in response to changes in intermittent power flow. Locations of devices may be determined using network fingerprints. Power flow measurements are determined, and AC power flows are inferred from DC power flows. Network traffic consumption are minimized. Communication protocols are translated. Enhanced vehicle communications are provided that communicate to vehicle subsystems, that arbitrate smart charge points, and that use existing hardware, non-specific hardware, or control extensibility systems.

Method And System For Enabling A Printing Program To Communicate With A Printer

View page
US Patent:
6809830, Oct 26, 2004
Filed:
Jun 1, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/323313
Inventors:
Joby S. Lafky - Seattle WA
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 1500
US Classification:
358 113, 358 115, 710100, 710104, 710300, 710301, 710302, 710303, 710304, 710305
Abstract:
A method and system for enabling a printing program to communicate with a printer relies on a plug and play manager to detect the presence of a printer and send a notification message to the printing program when a device driver registers a new device in the operating system registry. In response to the message, the printing program calls a function in a dynamic port monitor that retrieves the new device registration information from the operating system registry. The dynamic port monitor then creates a port name for the printer and associates it with the physical printer port. The dynamic port monitor also periodically determines whether any excess ports need to be deleted.
