Patent number: 11861687Abstract: A system for conducting a computer-based, simultaneous, multiple round, descending clock auction for basic generation services includes a web server for receiving bid data for one or more users for basic generation service products, an application server host application software, which processes the one or more bids according to at least one auction rule, tracks the auction, monitors the auction, and/or determines when to end the auction, and a database server, which stores auction data. A method of conducting a computer-based, simultaneous, multiple round, descending clock auction for basic generation services includes the repeating steps of receiving bids indicating desired tranche units of basic generation service products, calculating next round prices for each product, and sending round results to bidders. The system for and method of conducting a computer-based auction includes receiving and processing a withdrawal request or a switch request from at least one of the qualified bidders.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2018Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignees: Public Service Electric & Gas Company, Atlantic City Electric Company, Jersey Central Power & Light Company, Rockland Electric CompanyInventors: Chantale Lacasse, Frederick W.

Publication number: 20220227376Abstract: Electronic bicycles may communicate with each other to provide a communal biking experience to their riders. The electronic bicycles may collect rider data about their riders and may adjust the output parameters of the electronic bicycles based on the rider data. For example, the electronic bicycles may identify a weaker rider of the riders and may adjust the output parameters of the weaker rider's electronic bicycle to minimize a difference in the operation of the weaker rider's electronic bicycle and the stronger rider's electronic bicycle. Additionally, a parent rider may establish rider restrictions on an electronic bicycle ridden by a child.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Justin Allan Corbett, David Carlyle Hansen, Dylan Eugene Meehan, Matthew William Sheen

Publication number: 20220219777Abstract: An electronic bicycle includes a torque control system that controls what torque is applied to wheels of the electronic bicycle by electronic hub motors. The torque control system may determine a torque to apply to the wheels based on user input signals. The torque control system also may detect when the wheels of the electronic bicycle are slipping, and adjust the torque to minimize the time that the wheel is slipping. Additionally, the torque control system may determine a coefficient of friction between the wheels and the ground and determine a maximum torque to apply to the wheels based on the coefficient of friction. Furthermore, when braking, the torque control system may determine whether torque is applied to the wheels by passive braking or by active braking.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Justin Allan Corbett, David Carlyle Hansen, Dylan Eugene Meehan, Matthew William Sheen

Patent number: 9940666Abstract: A system and method of conducting a computer-based, simultaneous, multiple round, descending clock auction for basic generation services (BGS) includes receiving bids by an application server host application for processing bids according to auction rules, for tranche units of BGS products, calculating next round prices, and sending round results to bidders, the subsequent round prices and a notice of the number of tranches bid during the previous round and/or the amount of excess supply offered. Subsequently, an electronic withdrawal request to remove tranches from a product and reduce a maximum number bids the bidder can make in future rounds, and/or bidder exit price, is received, but may be partially or fully refused. When the number of tranches bid are equal to or less than a certain threshold for each of the products, the auction may end and bidders are awarded an ending price for each of the products won.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignees: Public Service & Gas Company, Atlantic City Electric Company, Jersey Central Power & Light Company, Rockland Electric CompanyInventors: Frederick W.

When available to a bidder, an extension request may be automatically granted extending the duration of the round and allowing all qualified bidders to submit new bids, and thereafter deducting the number of extensions available to the bidder. When the number of tranches bid are equal to or less than a certain threshold for each of the products, the auction may end and bidders are awarded an ending price for each of the products won.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2012Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignees: Public Service & Gas Company, Atlantic City Electric Company, Jersey Central Power & Light Company, Rockland Electric CompanyInventors: Anthony R.

Patent number: 8654997Abstract: An improved method and materials for retaining small loudspeakers to a platform composed of adjustable connecting miniaturized members utilizing international standards for surround sound in meters, but reduced to inches. One example would be a scale of one inch equaling one foot, but not limited to that particular miniature scale. The present invention utilizes any and all technical aspects of sound delivery and amplification in a miniature scale arrangement with the multi-directional surround sound. The speakers so mounted in measured inches from the center-point midway between the ears of the listener, delivers multi-directional sound in a re-creation of a musical, movie or gaming experience in the same perspective as being in a room with large speakers at high listening levels or a theater setting. Listening in the miniaturized setting, the listener will experience the same high levels in decibels as in the large room setting.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Inventors: Donald Eugene Meehan, Sr., Frances Rhodes Meehan
