    Abstract: In one embodiment, a battery backup unit (BBU) cut-off and recharge circuit includes: a first transistor, a power entry connection connected to a main power supply, where power from the power entry connection flows to application circuits for an electronic device, and the first transistor is positioned between a BBU and the power entry connection, and a microcontroller, where the microcontroller is operative to: detect a loss of power from the main power supply, turn on the first transistor to enable the BBU to discharge through the power entry connection to application circuits, detect a status of charge (SOC) for the BBU, and upon detecting that the SOC is under a predefined threshold, set the BBU cut-off and recharge circuit to a lockdown state by turning off the first transistor.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a first resource of a plurality of resources connected by an energy network, data indicative of a current amount of energy stored by the first resource at a current time. The method includes determining, based on the data indicative of the current amount of energy stored by the first resource at the current time, a predicted amount of energy to be stored by the first resource at a later time. The method includes determining, based on the predicted amount of energy to be stored by the first resource at the later time, that the first resource is to receive energy. The method includes, in response to determining that the first resource is to receive energy, selecting a second resource of the plurality of resources to transmit energy to the first resource. The method includes sending, to the second resource, instructions to transmit energy to the first resource.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable improved allocation of fog node resources, which supports performance driven partitioning of competing client applications. In various implementations, methods are performed by a fog orchestrator configured to determine allocations of fog resources for competing client applications and partition the competing client applications based on the fog resource allocations. Methods include receiving reservation priority values (RPVs) associated with a plurality of client applications competing for a contested fog node resource, transmitting, to a subset of client devices, a request to provide updated RPVs, and awarding the contested fog node resource to one of the plurality of client applications based on the received RPVs and any updated RPVs. In various implementations, methods also include determining, for each of the plurality of client applications, a respective mapping for a respective plurality of separable components of the client application based on the awarded contested fog node resource.

    Abstract: Techniques are presented herein to operate a light fixture as in an emergency mode in order to verify that the light emitted by the light fixture when operated in the emergency mode complies with emergency operating policies, as well as to detect failures. The light emitted by the light fixture in emergency mode may be measured and adjusted to optimize the runtime of the light fixture in the emergency mode. The light fixture is connected to a lighting control system via a control network which supplies electrical power to charge an onboard battery of a light fixture and to operate the light fixture. The light fixture may be caused to operate in the emergency lighting mode when a main electrical power supply is interrupted or when performances of the light fixture and of the onboard battery are tested.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an intermediate node, of a multi-stage process path through a computer network, receives a workload message with an associated latency budget to complete the multi-stage process at a final stage device. In response, the intermediate node determines a current latency from an initial stage device for the workload message to the receiving of the workload message, and also determines a remaining portion of the latency budget based on the current latency. In response to the remaining portion of the latency budget being less than expected at the intermediate node, the intermediate node may perform one or more latency-reducing actions, and then transmits the workload message toward the final stage device.
