Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium of a reservation controller contains instructions executable by a processor. The instructions include receiving a user request for a requested space, where the user request includes a time slot for a use of the requested space. The instructions include identifying unoccupied spaces based on current status information from multiple occupancy sensors in response to determining that the time slot is within a threshold period of time from a current time. The unoccupied spaces are one or more of multiple spaces that are currently unoccupied. The instructions also include identifying available spaces from among the unoccupied spaces and reserving a matching space from among the available spaces.

Abstract: An electric power line monitoring, communication and response system schedules the transmission of packets to occur during voltage zero-crossing intervals when corona is minimized. The transmitters may be located at high voltage hanging directly from the power line conductors along with associated current transformers and voltage sensors. A system of these transmitters distributed throughout the power grid communicate with each other in a data-forward manner to bring complete, real-time current and voltage waveform, device status and fault monitoring information to data aggregation waypoints, such as transmission substations where supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) equipment is installed. The power line monitoring data is then transmitted from the data waypoints to a central monitoring and control center, typically using existing SCADA equipment, to provide h detailed power line monitoring data for a large number of data monitoring points distributed throughout the power grid.
