Embodiments relate to an integrated circuit of an electronic device that coordinates activities with another integrated circuit of the electronic device. The integrated circuit includes an interface circuit and a processor circuit. The interface circuit communicates over a multi-drop bus connected to multiple electronic components. The processor circuit receives an authorization request from the integrated circuit via the interface circuit and the multi-drop bus. The received authorization request relates to authorization to perform an activity on the other integrated circuit. In response to receiving the authorization request, the processor circuit determines whether the other integrated circuit is authorized to execute the activity. In response to determining that the other integrated circuit is authorized to execute the activity, the processor circuit sends, to the other integrated circuit over a configurable direct connection, an authorization signal authorizing the other integrated circuit to execute the activity.

Systems and methods for ground fault circuit interrupter trip detection and entire premises loss of power and restoration detection and notification of those events is disclosed. An example system may receive a smart plug identification. The system may authorize a smart plug. The system may link the smart plug to a smart plug application. The system may query the smart plug to obtain a power notification. The system may notify smart plug application of a power status.

An I/O server service interacts with multiple containerized controller services each implementing the same control routine to control the same portion of the same plant. The I/O server service may provide the same controller inputs to each of the containerized controller services (e.g., representing measurements obtained by field devices and transmitted by the field devices to the I/O server service). Each containerized controller service executes the same control routine to generate a set of controller outputs. The I/O server service receives each set of controller outputs and forwards an “active” set to the appropriate field devices. The I/O server service and other services, such as an orchestrator service, may continuously evaluate performance and resource utilization in the control system, and may dynamically activate and deactivate controller services as appropriate.

A vehicle is electrically connected to one or more accessories. The vehicle includes at least one controller that may be configured to identify the accessory based on accessory identification information. The controller may also be configured to provide one or more commands to control an operation of the accessory.

According to certain general aspects, the present embodiments relate generally to securing communication between ECUs. Example implementations can include a method of securely transmitting Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol frames via a CAN controller.

A medical device comprises a control system, processing modules, and a wire bundle connecting the control system to the processing modules, the wire bundle comprising control lines and data lines. Each processing module is coupled to a respective set of sensors arranged to interface with a biological tissue site, the sensors being configured to capture analog physiological signals generated from the biological tissue site. The control system is configured to generate a control signal on the control lines to initiate a data collection cycle by the processing modules. In response to the control signal, each processing module is configured to perform a respective data collection process which comprises (i) capturing and processing an analog physiological signal on each enabled sensor to generate a data sample for each analog physiological signal captured on each enabled sensor, and (ii) outputting data samples to the control system on the data lines.

Packets may be compressed based on predictive analyses. For example, in one embodiment, it is determined that an explicit value for a particular header field can be inferred by the receiver agent, a packet header is constructed that either omits the header field or includes a differential value for the header field in lieu of the explicit value for the header field. The packet header may be decompressed upon receipt by deriving the explicit value for the particular header field.

Systems and methods for time control for a data interface between a source device and a receiving device are provided. In one example, a method can include performing a capture time sweep process at the receiving device. The capture time sweep process includes performing a plurality of test data transfers at the receiving device at a plurality of different capture time settings. The method can include determining a capture time window based at least in part on the capture time sweep process. The capture time window can be defined as a duration between a first capture time and a second capture time. The method can include determining a selected capture time between the first capture time and the second capture time. The method can include controlling data transfer across the data interface based at least in part on the selected capture time.

A motor driver, a control method of the motor driver, and a motor driving system are provided. The motor driver includes a rotation information pin, an analog detecting circuit and a mode switching circuit. The rotation information pin is configured to receive a reference signal. The analog detecting circuit and the mode switching circuit are respectively and electrically connected to the rotation information pin and the analog detecting circuit. The analog detecting circuit determines whether the reference signal is an analog signal, and the motor driver is maintained in a master mode when the reference signal does not belong to the analog signal. The mode switching circuit determines whether the reference signal is a noise when the reference signal is the analog signal. The mode switching circuit switches the motor driver from the master mode to a slave mode when the reference signal is not the noise.
