Filed: 2010-01-27
Abstract: This system is for efficient consumption of a consumable or resource such as electricity, gas or the like. Each con-sumer site, such as a household or business, has a consumer node. The consumer node gathers consumption data from one or more consumer devices consuming the consumable. A central node is in communication with the consumer nodes and determines a collective consumption of the consumable across the plurality of consumer sites. The central node participates in live markets in or-der to secure delivery of the consumable as required collectively across the plurality of consumer sites. The central node commu-nicates market data conveying substantially live market effects to the consumer nodes, and the consumer nodes process the market data in a manner to influence consumption of the consumable, for example by deactivating devices during market peaks.

Patent CA-2756300-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROBBINS THOMAS CHARLES
IPC: G16B40/10
Filed: 2010-05-14
Abstract: An experimental melting curve is modeled as a sum of a true melting curve and background fluorescence. A  deviation function may be generated based upon the experimental melting curve data and a model of a background signal. The deviation function may be generated by segmenting a range of the experimental curve into a plurality of windows. Within each window, a fit between the model of the background signal and the experimental melting curve data may be calculated. The deviation function may be formed from the resulting fit parameters. The deviation function may include background signal compensation and, as such, may be used in various melting curve analysis operations, such as data visualization, clustering, genotyping, scanning, negative sample removal, and the like. The deviation function may be used to seed an automated background correction process. A  background-corrected melting curve may be further processed to remove an aggregation signal.

Title: Drag-reducing device
Inventor: VISENTIN FRANK
IPC: F15D1/10
Filed: 2010-06-23
Abstract: An apparatus for reducing drag on a transport vehicle, which comprises retractable aerodynamic panels for deployment at the rear of the vehicle, behind the cabin, or both. When these panels are deployed, they provide an aerodynamic design, thereby reducing drag and turbulence as the vehicle travels, for example, down a highway, which in turn, reduces energy costs associated with transportation. When not in use, the panels retract adjacent to the planar surfaces of the vehicle (for example, the sides, top and bottom surfaces). The retracted panels are housed either on the outside surface of the vehicle; the inside surface of the vehicle, or within the walls of the vehicle. The retracted position of the panels allows for easy unloading of cargo from the rear of the vehicle when it is docked.

Abstract: Novel arrangements are detailed involving delivery of entertainment content, and commercial sponsorship of such content. Some arrangements enable viewers to control presentation of advertising in video, e.g., selecting what commercials are to be presented - if any, and also their order and timing. Ad presentation can also be made dependent on context. Other arrangements ensure that advertising is actually rendered, and is not skipped-over. In still other aspects, entertainment content that is now offered on a paid basis is made available for free to certain viewers. For example, viewers may receive free content as a perk for earlier patronage of certain content sponsors. Fees charged to advertisers can be tied to measured consumer responses (e.g., to correlated increases in sales of advertised products), or to the demographics of the responding viewers (e.g., engagement of affluent consumers merits higher fees), A great number of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
