An electronic device may comprise a number of ports configured to removably receive pluggable modules, such as optical transceivers. The electronic device may also comprise processing circuitry comprising a power management engine. The power management engine may be configured to monitor system properties of the electronic device, port properties of the ports, and/or pluggable module properties of any pluggable modules installed in the ports. The power management engine may further be configured to dynamically select a high-power mode or a low-power mode for each of the pluggable modules installed in the ports based on the monitored properties.

Dynamic pluggable module power management

Embodiments include a network switch for use in a local area network that interconnects the switch and one or more network powered devices, the switch also being operatively connected to at least one power supply that powers the switch, the switch comprising a plurality of ports to which network powered devices are connected, at least one management module for controlling the operation of the switch, the module having memory for storing information relating to the power and operating requirements of each connected network device, and a processor for controlling the distribution of power from the power supply among the ports, including selectively time slicing power provided to at least selected ones of the ports.

Method and system for providing dynamic power sharing to network devices

Methods and systems for providing a departure notification from a travel assistance system are disclosed. A source location, a destination location and a desired destination arrival time are received at a travel assistance system. At least one travel parameter operable to affect departure time from the source location to the destination location is received at the travel assistance system. A departure time from the source location that enables arrival at the destination location at approximately the desired destination arrival time based on the source location, the destination location, the desired destination arrival time and the at least one travel parameter is determined. A departure notification is issued from the travel assistance system to a client system. The departure notification includes the departure time.
