Abstract: Power demand information (e.g., a power demand profile) is obtained for a time period (e.g., a billing period) having a plurality of intervals. The power demand information represents power demand for the time period. The power demand information can be a historical power demand profile, in which historical power demand is represented for a past time period. Power demand can include one or more power loads. A target demand limit can be used to modify power demand profiles. The modified demand profiles can allow users to, for example, determine how an automated power control system can benefit them and visualize how the power demand patterns of their facilities can be adjusted to realize such benefits.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention provides an event recording system that has an event-capture module, an editing module, and a media recording module. The event capture module captures an event signal, such as an audio signal from a sound event, and transforms the signal into a primary event file that is accessible as it is being formed. The editing module is communicatively connected to the event capture module. It accesses and parses the primary event file into one or more digital track files that can be recorded onto a recording media. Likewise, the media recording module is communicatively linked to the editing module for receiving the one or more digital track files from the editing module. The media recording module has a plurality of media recorders for simultaneously recording the one or more digital track files onto a plurality of recording media. This allows a plurality of recording media, with the entire event recorded upon each media, to be available shortly after the event has ended.
