Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Pruett: “Overcooling an Edge Device That Uses Electrical Energy from a Local Renewable Energy System.” The invention describes determining, across multiple time periods, how much electricity an edge device is expected to receive from a local renewable energy system and how much it is expected to consume. When expected supply exceeds expected operational use, the device can use the surplus to perform an overcooling operation. The approach coordinates cooling with periods of renewable-energy availability.

Career Highlights

Pruett’s listed patent focuses on energy-aware operation of edge devices. By using periods of surplus local renewable electricity for additional cooling, the described system connects device thermal management with the timing of available energy. The supplied information identifies 1 patent.

Collaborations

Gary D. Cudak and Vinod Kamath are identified as some of Pruett’s coworkers. The provided details do not specify their roles in the patent or the nature of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Gregory Pruett’s listed invention combines renewable-energy forecasting with edge-device cooling, offering a method for using periods of surplus electricity to manage device temperature.
