Title: A method for optimizing energy consumption and cost
Inventor: DUTTA RABINDRANATH
IPC: H02J3/00
Filed: 2002-06-12
Abstract: The present invention enables a facility (home, business or industrial site) to optimize the consumption of energy in that facility. In this invention, the power companies that supply energy provide information to its client facilities on the cost and availability of energy from that company on a real-time basis. Each client facility would have a power accounting server. These servers store this and process this information to predict when the rates for using the energy will be the least expensive for a particular task or to operate a particular appliance. A  homeowner (client facility) for example can program appliances such as a dishwasher or laundry machine to turn on when the cost of energy is below a particular threshold price. The present invention has the capability to receive characteristics about a particular appliance, generate a list of energy consumption options for that particular product at a particular time period and select and implement the most efficient energy supply option. This invention can also enable a client facility that generates energy to efficiently use the generated energy and sell any excess energy to another end user or to other energy consumers.

Abstract: This invention relates to a lock assembly to be used in conjunction with two  or more padlock assemblies. The lock assembly comprises a main body (1), a main shackle (2), and a locking portion (7). When all subsidiary padlocks (5 , 6) are locked into the apertures (3, 4) the main shackle (2) cannot be opene d. The removal of either subsidiary shackle allows the locking portion (7) to circumvent the second subsidiary shackle and the main shackle (2) may be opened. This allows two persons to independently use the padlock without sharing keys or other secure information. Moreover the lock assembly may be used with any secure fitting designed for use with a traditional padlock.</S DOAB>

IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: A method and system for controlling a plurality of sub-pipes in a computer network is disclosed. The computer network includes at least one switch. The plurality of sub-pipes utilizes the switch for transmitting traffic through the network. The method and system include allowing a minimum flow to be set for each of the plurality of sub-pipes and determining whether congestion exists for the pipe. The method and system also include controlling a flow in a sub-pipe of the plurality of sub-pipes only if congestion exists. Once congestion is determined to exist, the time set to control of sub-pipes is set significantly longer than for control over individual decreases or increases of the flows in sub-pipes. The flow is controlled such that the flow for the sub-pipe may be linearly increased if the flow for the sub-pipe of the plurality of sub-pipes is less than the minimum flow. The flow is also controlled such that the flow for the sub-pipe of the plurality of sub-pipes is exponentially decreased if the flow is greater than the minimum flow. In determining whether to increase or decrease the flow in a sub-pipe, a second definition of congestion may be used.      Thus the traffic through the switch is stable.
