  • Patent number: 12639771
    Abstract: In the context of an electrical utility system, changing cloud conditions may cause a customer having solar panels to greatly increase or decrease electrical demand in a difficult-to-predict manner. Accordingly, a spinning reserve maintained by an electric utility company must be larger, and is therefore more expensive. In an example, the spinning reserve may be managed by: calculating a stable sequence of forecasts of smoothed real-time consumption, wherein the calculating is based at least in part on smoothed estimates of consumption data. A stable sequence of forecasts of real-time measured load may be calculated by subtracting forecasts of real-time distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) generation data from the stable sequence of forecasts of smoothed real-time consumption. The spinning reserve of the electricity system may be controlled based at least in part on the stable sequence of forecasts of real-time measured load.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing enhanced visualization of lifecycle information and management for a network, such as an industrial network, enable the creation/design of a virtualized network. The virtualized network eases the physical deployment/installation of a real network by using augmented reality (AR) to enable configuration/monitoring of the network using the virtualized network and real-time and/or historical information. Performance issues may be identified and visually conveyed to a user using AR overlay. The virtualized network may be created by a user via a network layout creation tool that combines both physical and logical mappings of devices and elements. One or more AR tools may be used to add, edit, remove, and/or manipulate elements of the network model using gestures. The virtualized network may be implemented as a digital twin of the location and used to assist in the physical deployment, maintenance, and monitoring of a network at the location.

  • Patent number: 12585697
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a tool that enables content creators to collect and analyze feedback on their content during production and live performances. During playback of content, users are enabled to provide detailed feedback and comments via various feedback interfaces on user devices. Users may indicate that they like and dislike certain aspects of the content, such as musical instruments featured in a song, at specific points in time. Feedback is timestamped, transformed into values, and aggregated for review and analysis. Using machine learning techniques, the present invention can identify trends in audience preferences and generate recommendations for tailoring content and content delivery. An interactive display enables the content creator to efficiently manipulate and make sense of collected feedback. With robust security features, the interactive content feedback system described herein may integrate with content streaming platforms as well as operate as an independent application.
