Abstract: A method for aggregate load management includes determining whether a load capacity limit within a utility power network will be exceeded, selecting an aggregated demand reduction target to remain within capacity bounds if the load capacity limit is to be exceeded, selecting a demand reduction strategy, and sending a control signal that includes a randomized PWM level, based on the strategy, to a controller in a load component of the utility system based on the reduction target. A method for component load management includes receiving a control signal from a utility system based on a utility demand reduction strategy, converting the signal into randomized PWM control of the load component in accordance therewith, receiving an updated control signal based on utility system monitoring of an aggregate load of a component of the utility system, and converting the updated signal into randomized PWM control of the load component in accordance therewith.

Abstract: Applicants have created systems, methods, and computer readable media for displaying custom-tailored music video content. The method can include the step of providing a first selection of the media content and the step of outputting a first portion of first media data if first media data is selected or a first portion of second media data if second media data is selected. The method can further include the step of providing a second selection of the media content and the step of outputting a selected portion of the media content among second and third portions of the first and second media data. Through the inventions described herein, an end-user can enjoy custom-tailored music video content through a process of dynamically choosing which music video characters and sub-plots to follow through to their various alternative endings.

Abstract: My invention is a flosser built into a toothbrush that allows the user(s) to floss and brush at the same time. This invention is directed towards oral hygiene. What makes my invention unique is the application of my mechanism that I've designed that allows the flosser to work in the toothbrushes handle for multiply uses (see the “Details of Invention”).

Abstract: A system for managing energy consumption of a mesh network. The system includes a controller, a dynamic routing device configured to perform a functionality of either a routing device or a non-routing device, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is programmed to identify a number of routing devices in the mesh network, determine a signal strength of each of the identified routing devices with respect to at least one of the controller and the dynamic processor, and determine whether the dynamic routing device will perform the functionality of a routing device or a non-routing device upon joining the mesh network based on the number of identified routing devices and the signal strength of each of the identified routing devices.

Abstract: The present invention provides for authenticating code and/or data and providing a protected environment for execution. The present invention provides for dynamically partitioning and un-partitioning a local store for the authentication of code or data. The local store is partitioned into an isolated and non-isolated section. Code or data is loaded into the isolated section. The code or data is authenticated in the isolated section of the local store. After authentication, the code is executed. After execution, the memory within the isolated region of the attached processor unit is erased, and the attached processor unit de-partitions the isolated section within the local store.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates energy management systems and methodologies wherein control over local appliances is implemented to control stress on a local transformer to which a plurality of user locations may be connected. Some of the user locations are provided with home energy management (HEM) devices that control operation of certain appliance at their location based in part on constraints associated with the local transformer. The HEMs may negotiate among themselves how to meet the constraints of the local transformer and, in certain circumstances, take into consideration estimates of usage at user locations connected to the local transformer but that do not have their own HEM.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates to energy management. Home energy management (HEM) devices are directed from a central control system to modify energy usage among appliances/loads within individual homes to meet energy source demand limitations. The HEM devices may work in cooperation with a group of such devices as a unit to negotiate with the central control system and then individually to control energy usage for their separately controlled home appliances/loads to meet group negotiated aggregate energy usage modification, for example, usage reductions so as to minimized peak usage demands on the energy source.

Abstract: A system employs an interventional tool (30), ultrasound imaging system and a multi-planar reformatting module (40). The interventional tool (30) has one or more image tracking points (31). The ultrasound imaging system includes an ultrasound probe (20) operable for generating an ultrasound volume image (22) of a portion or an entirety of the interventional tool (30) within an anatomical region. The multi-planar reformatting imaging module (40) generates two or more multi- planar reformatting images (41) of the interventional tool (30) within the anatomical region. A generation of the two multi-planar reformatting images (41) includes an identification of each image tracking point (31) within the ultrasound volume image (22), and a utilization of each identified image tracking point (31) as an origin of the multi-planar reformatting images (41).

Abstract: The illustrative embodiments comprise a method, data processing system, and computer program product having a processor unit for processing instructions with loops. A processor unit creates a first group of instructions having a first set of loops and second group of instructions having a second set of loops from the instructions. The first set of loops have a different order of parallel processing from the second set of loops. A processor unit processes the first group. The processor unit monitors terminations in the first set of loops during processing of the first group. The processor unit determines whether a number of terminations being monitored in the first set of loops is greater than a selectable number of terminations. In response to a determination that the number of terminations is greater than the selectable number of terminations, the processor unit ceases processing the first group and processes the second group.

Abstract: A vehicle has a lighting control module and a HD radio receiver. The lighting control module provides an indication of daytime operation of the vehicle and an indication of night-time operation of the vehicle. The HD radio receiver is configured for selecting between outputting digital format audio content of a radio signal and outputting analog format audio content of the HD radio signal dependent upon a HD signal sensitivity threshold. The HD radio receiver sets the HD signal sensitivity threshold to one of a plurality of different night-time HD signal sensitivity threshold values as a function of a signal strength characteristic of the HD radio signal when the lighting control module provides the indication of night-time operation thereto. The HD radio receiver sets the HD signal sensitivity threshold to a daytime HD signal sensitivity threshold value when the lighting control module provides the indication of daytime operation thereto.
