Abstract: This application relates to a building energy analysis and management system for measurement and verification of building performance. The system can analyze, optimize, manage, maintain, trouble shoot, and/or modify building systems, such as HVAC systems, in connection with the building energy usage. Measurements may be gathered for one or more HVAC units coupled to pressure independent valves, and sent to one or more Surge Panels that pass data to remote analysis servers, which can receive other system or external data. The analysis servers compare measurements to predicted values and can standardize the predicted values to account for external conditions. The comparison can result in difference values used to generate probable causes and optimization recommendations. The system outputs reports or other data display using a graphical user interface that can be adjusted for an anticipated user.

Abstract: A battery pack assembly includes a first cell stack having a first side and a second side. The first side is transverse to the second side. A second cell stack is adjacent the first side of first cell stack. A divider has a barrier portion and an attachment portion. The barrier portion is disposed between the first side of the first cell stack and the second cell stack. The attachment portion is secured directly to the second side of the first cell stack.

Abstract: A method for providing an asset over a network comprises receiving, by a first computing system from a client device, request to provide a digital asset over a network, the request including a network identifier and configuration information associated with the client device; determining, by the first computing system, one or more chatbots available to the client device based on the network identifier and the configuration information associated with the client device; generating, by the first computing system, the digital asset including an invocation scheme for deploying a chatbot of the one or more chatbots on the client device, the invocation scheme configured to connect the chatbot hosted on a second computing system to the client device through the first computing system; and providing, by the first computing system, the digital asset to the client device.

Abstract: An electrical switch responds to acoustic inputs. A microphone integrated into the electrical switch generates electrical signals in response to the acoustic inputs. A network interface integrated into the electrical switch provides addressable communication with controllers, computers, and other networked devices. The electrical switch may thus be installed or retrofitted into the electrical wiring of all homes and businesses. Users may thus speak voice commands, which are received by the electrical switch and sent for voice control of appliances and other automation tasks.

Abstract: A method for augmenting message streams may comprise receiving a request for augmentation of a message, the request including a parameter associated with the message. The method may further include determining a rule associated with the message. The method may further include applying the determined rule to the message parameters to select an augmentation component. The method may further include transmitting an augmented message to the requestor, the augmented message including the augmentation component.

Abstract: A card cassette device of a card dispensing apparatus ensures elimination of measures for illegally opening a card outlet from the outside in a non-mounted state and makes it possible to open the card outlet according to the necessity in a mounted state, raising security level. A movable shutter for opening and closing a card outlet has a stopper member engaging hole and a lock member engaging hole. A stopper member is engaged with the stopper member engaging hole by a stopper member moving device, thereby fixing the shutter in its closed state in the non-mounted state. A lock member is engaged with the lock member engaging hole by a lock member moving device, thereby canceling the closed state of the shutter and locking the shutter in its open state in the mounted state.

Abstract: The invention relates to geopolymer compositions, geopolymers and methods for their production and use. The geopolymers may be used as aggregates, and those aggregates may be used in concrete manufacture. The geopolymer composition comprises fly ash or a fly ash substitute, an aluminum phyllosilicate, an alkaline component and water, wherein the water is present at an amount of about 6% to about 10% by weight of the composition. The geopolymers are made by forming a geopolymer composition as described above, compacting the mixture by applying pressure of about 50 to about 90 kgf/cm2; and curing the compacted mixture to form the geopolymer.
