Abstract:
1. A method for optimizing performance of at least one operation performed by an apparatus, comprising: interrogating one part of a plurality of parts being coupled to adjustable power supplies within the apparatus, each of said parts including a respective information component comprising memory and a processor; receiving, from the information component of the interrogated, information about the one part transmitted from the information component of the one part; determining if any other of the plurality of parts need to be interrogated; interrogating each of the determined other parts to receive information about each of the other parts from the respective information components of the other parts; determining instructions for optimizing the at least one operation of the apparatus based on the received information; transmitting the instructions to the information component of at least one interrogated part for execution by the processor to optimize the at least one operation; identifying the at least one operation being optimized; comparing for at least one of the interrogated parts, the received information about the part against stored information to obtain a difference; and using the difference to determine the instructions for optimizing the at least one operation.
