Granted: 2019-08-20
Abstract: A method of monitoring energy consumption includes steps of establishing an energy budget for a future time period, receiving device information for a plurality of electrical devices and associating the device information with the energy budget, periodically measuring electrical usage from the plurality of electrical devices, projecting future energy consumption for the future time period based on the measured electrical usage, comparing the projected future energy consumption to the energy budget, and if the projected future energy consumption deviates from the energy budget, automatically generating an alert. The projected future energy consumption can take into account various factors such as energy available from non-grid sources; weather forecasts; battery storage; and historical data. A system employing the method can automatically control devices to bring predicted consumption within the budget.

Title: Large amplitude high frequency optical delay
Inventor: BESELT RONALD E
IPC: G02B27/00
Filed: 2009-07-07
Granted: 2017-01-31
Abstract: Optical delay line system that includes a retro-reflection mirror which is displaced along a circular path while being maintained in angular alignment with launch and return sources of light subject the components of the system to minimum levels of unbalanced linear acceleration. A retroreflector is pivotally mounted on a rotating element such that the optical axis of the retroreflector's motion is mobile such that its angle or position changes relative to a fixed observer. There is no linear stopping and starting of the retroreflector and all acceleration of the retroreflector is rotational acceleration with small angles so the required forces in the optical delay line are greatly reduced. Both large displacement and high repetition rates are achieved. The system can be configured so that optical fibers serve as launch and return optics. Alternatively, free space beam paths deliver light to the optical delay and return the reflected light from the retroreflector.

Abstract: A system for controlling operation of a progressing cavity pump to maintain the motor operating under power disturbance conditions. For a blackout condition, a backspin controller uses regenerative power to provide controlled deceleration of the pump, counteracting backspin and preventing backspinning freely. For a brownout condition, a power dip controller weakens the motor field to maximize pump production consistent with reduced input power availability. For a phase loss or voltage imbalance condition, a phase loss controller reduces motor power output to keep drive system output power at or below single phase capacity.

Abstract: An in-line 4D cone beam CT reconstruction algorithm, i.e. one that works in parallel with image acquisition, comprises an imaging system for a object exhibiting internal periodic motion comprising a source of penetrating radiation and a two-dimensional detector for the radiation, the source and the detector being rotateable around an axis lying on the beam path from the source to the detector, a storage means for images obtained from the detector, a control means for initiating rotation of the source and the detector and for obtaining images from the detector at a plurality of rotation angles over time, a processing means for (i) condensing the images in a direction transverse to an axis to produce a one-dimensional image, (ii) collating the one-dimensional images obtained up to that point side-by-side into a two dimensional image, (iii) analysing the two-dimensional image thus obtained to identify periodic patterns, (iv) allocating phase information to the images in the storage means on the basis of that analysis, (v) selecting images in the storage means having like phase information, and (vi) backprojecting the selected images, the control means being adapted to invoke the processing means after a plurality of images have been placed in the storage means, and then place further images in the storage means and further invoke the processing means. Thus, we queue a limited number of projection images such that the phase determination algorithm can look-ahead. At regular intervals, the queue is scanned and those images which have enough look-ahead to obtain phase information are filtered and back-projected. The algorithm thus keeps up with the image acquisition speed and produces a 4D reconstruction within a few seconds of the end of scanning. A local rigid registration algorithm is then used to match the tumor region defined in the mid-ventilation frame of our 4D planning CT with each of the phases of the 4D CBCT. An animation technique provides rapid visual verification; the mean position of the tumor is computed and used for correction, while the amplitude is reviewed to validate the margin.

Abstract: To handle a communication session at a wireless mobile communications device, after receiving an indication of current signal strength of an access point for a wireless local area network ("WLAN") a signal strength threshold associated with the access point is retrieved. If the communication session is currently carried by a cellular network and the current signal strength exceeds the signal strength threshold, the communication session is switched from the cellular network to the WLAN. A metric is then adjusted based on timing of the switch relative to any switch of the communication session from the WLAN to the cellular network over a preceding time window associated with the access point. Based on the metric, the signal strength threshold associated with the access point is selectively adjusted. If, on the other hand, the communication session is currently carried by the WLAN and the current signal strength is below the signal strength threshold, an attempt is made to switch the communication session from the WLAN to the cellular network and a metric associated with the access point is adjusted based on whether or not the switch failed. Based on this second metric, the signal strength threshold associated with said access point is adjusted.
