Title: Variable rate feedforward control based on set point rate of change
Inventor: KEPHART RICHARD W
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 2008-10-31
Abstract: A method of controlling a power generating unit or other process equipment with a slow reaction time includes creating a feedforward control signal to selectively include a fast response rate component or a slow response rate component based on the average rate at which a load demand set point signal has changed during a particular previous period of time. The method then uses the developed feedforward control signal to control the power generating equipment or other slowly reacting process equipment. In particular, a control method switches between introducing a fast or a slow response component within a feedforward control signal based on whether the change in the load demand set point over a particular period of time in the past (e.g., an average rate of change of the load demand set point signal) is greater than or less than a predetermined threshold. This method is capable of providing a relatively fast control action even if the expected load demand set point change is in a small range. In addition, this method does not require knowledge of the final or target load demand set point during the time in which the load demand set point is ramping up to a final target value and is not dependent on the ramp size, i.e., the ultimate difference between the load demand set point at the beginning of the load demand set point change and the final or target value of the load demand set point, making it more versatile than prior art systems.

Title: Providing a traveler with offers particularly suited to that individual
Inventor: WALLISER CARL J
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2007-07-23
Abstract: The use of RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips in luggage tags to provide travelers with coupons and information related to their respective destinations. The luggage (or "bag") tag will include an embedded RFID chip. When the traveler checks his or her suitcase or other package, the bag-tag printer will place a visual representation of the traveler's destination on the tag. However, the printer will also "write" the traveler's identification and either a validate code or the destination on the embedded chip. The traveler, arriving at his or her destination and retrieving the checked item, can then place the bag tag near an RFID scanner which can read the information about the traveler's destination and possibly the traveler him-or herself. The scanner can then print out coupons pertinent to the traveler, the destination of the luggage, or the location of the scanner itself. After reading the information from the RFID chip, the scanner may then write to the chip that the coupons and the like have been issued to "cancel" the chip for the purpose of preventing repetitive uses of the tag. The same concepts allow for advertising and promotions at other locations and for notices and information at not related to advertising.
