Patent number: 11927976Abstract: A system and method for managing power consumption and storage in a power grid. Measurements are received from a plurality of geographically distributed energy management controllers. Each energy management controllers has energy storage units with stored energy. The measurements comprise the energy production and storage capacity of the energy management controllers and their associated energy storage units. The measurements are processed, e.g., aggregated, and displayed on a graphical user interface. Commands are transmitted to a first subset of the energy management controllers to command the units to discharge their stored energy into a power grid through an inverter. Commands are transmitted to a second subset of the plurality of energy management controllers to store energy in each unit's energy storage unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: GRIDPOINT, INC.Inventors: Brian Golden, Courtney McMahan, David Hakim, Edward Shnekendorf

Patent number: 10567096Abstract: A system and method for transmitting the audio component of a performance, such as a movie, to audience members located in the listening area of a venue, such as a movie theater, to improve the quality of the audio experience and reduce problems with other noise activity interfering with the performance. The system and method use the location of the occupied seats, geometry of the venue and the audience density to produce a structured operating envelope that is utilized to more efficiently and effectively broadcast an audio signal, which comprises the audio component of the performance, to individual audience members. The audio signal is received by a smart phone or other electronic device associated with one or more audience members. The audio component is transferred to headphones, ear buds or other devices worn by an audience member and connected, wired or wirelessly, to the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Muteflix Media Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael T. Bickers, David Hakim

Publication number: 20190041886Abstract: Disclosed is a computerized method for dispatching energy from distributed resources in a discharge event so that the energy stored in individual devices is ilevelized, or so that an operator request is met. Evaluation of event parameters may be deferred. The method may be utilized to dispatch energy from plug-in electric vehicles. Systems and methods to account for electricity dispatched to or from electric vehicles are disclosed. Systems and methods for incentivizing consumers to participate in a dispatch event or curtail energy use are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: David HAKIM, Steven HUGG, Edward SHNEKENDORF, Sarah CARTWRIGHT, Zachary AXELROD, Nicholas JHIRAD, Louis SZABLYA, R.
