Processing resource allocation
Issued US US20150256484
Issued Japan, allowed USA, pending elsewhere.
"Wandering Threads"
How to get a PiM architecture to behave like SMP for supporting legacy code and making parallelism scalable by moving work to data, rather than data to CPU. 2X+ speedup on existing code for suitable applications - simulation, neural networks, databases. Can also replace GP-GPU etc. for data-flow (without using CUDA/OpenCL etc.).
After getting the machine for that running, you can program it with ParC -…Issued Japan, allowed USA, pending elsewhere.

System and Method for Integrating and Managing Demand/Response Between Alternative Energy Sources, Grid Power, and Loads
Issued EU EP 2715904 B1
DC bus scheme for micro-grids.
Registered in various European countries.
Also granted in China -
Circuit for transferring power between a direct current line and an alternating-current line
Issued US US20140334202A1
This is one of a set of patents related to doing a (US) residential DC bus scheme at around 190V; it takes advantage of the fact that US homes are fed single-phase 220V with a center tap to enable the use of a simple buck topology while still feeding a full-cycle waveform to the grid.

Including variability in simulation of logic circuits
Issued US 8478576
As one of the creators of Verilog-AMS I decided I could use the modeling support it has to do a much better job on simulating logic. This patent describes a technique to incorporate timing spread, power and thermal in one model such that one simulation tells you everything you want to know about your design.
