Patent number: 9830629Abstract: Systems and methods for providing energy management utilize wireless wide-area network broadcast signals and a decentralized receiver architecture to allow customers to make informed choices with regard to energy consumption and load shedding for particular appliances. A receiver assembly embedded within an appliance receives a broadcast signal, e.g., an FM subcarrier signal, including tariff data and other electrical grid data. A processor coupled with the receiver controls the appliance in accordance with the received data and in accordance with user-defined preferences. In some embodiments, a transceiver assembly is embedded in one or more appliances in a household. Each transceiver is configured to receive broadcast signals regarding grid data, and to communicate with other appliances and/or a usage meter over a wireless personal area network. Meter data from one or more households may be aggregated and uplinked back to the energy provider or other entities.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: E-RADIO USA INC.Inventors: Jackson Kit Wang, Calvin Daniel Koskowich, John Paul Harvey

Patent number: 8704678Abstract: A receiver assembly for managing an appliance comprises a receiver that receives a first datacast comprising utility information, a processor that controls the appliance based on the utility information, a display that notifies a user of the utility information, and an input interface that receives instructions from the user on whether to alter appliance usage based on the utility information. When an instruction is received by the input interface to alter usage of the appliance based on the utility information, the appliance is regulated by the utility information in the first datacast and subsequent datacasts until an override instruction occurs. When an override instruction is received, the appliance is not regulated by the utility information in the first datacast and subsequent datacasts until an instruction is received by the input interface from the user to alter usage of the appliance as a function of the utility information.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Inventors: Jackson Kit Wang, Calvin Daniel Koskowich, John Paul Harvey

Patent number: 6189039Abstract: A method and system for “selective” tunneling of streaming data from a server to a client in a computer network having one or more network segments. The server has a tunneler utility, and the client has a receiver utility. The receiver utility first attempts to detect if a given data stream is available via IP multicast on the network segment supporting the client. If not, then the receiver utility issues a request for a IP unicast stream. This request is serviced by the tunneler utility. The tunneler utility re-broadcasts the IP multicast feed using IP unicast to send the data stream directly to the requesting user and/or to a repeater utility. The receiver utility then receives and processes the data stream for output to the end user. Alternatively, the receiver application, or a network administrator, launches the repeater utility, which then converts the IP unicast stream back to IP multicast format for re-broadcast over the network segment to other clients.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1997Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Paul Harvey, Mark Scott Kressin, Richard Allen Mills

Patent number: 6136121Abstract: A device for separating layers of laminate trim includes a pair of nip rollers defining a feed path for a laminate, at least two winders and a drive system for the winders. The winders are preferably arranged on an upstream side of the nip rollers. The device can be provided at the output of a lamination machine to receive longitudinal trim portions cut from a laminate being formed by the lamination machine, so as to provide continuous delamination of trim exiting the lamination machine. In the case of a three (or multiple) layer laminate, the device can include a third winder (or additional winders) for collecting a middle layer of the laminate.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1998Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: Mitsubishi Chemical America, Inc.Inventors: Michael Brandt Jones, Joseph J.

Patent number: 6044401Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for locating available information in a network environment by a user in a node. In a system aspect, within a node in the network, the present invention includes a network sniffer and an access sniffer. The access sniffer includes an access element and an access interface. The access element preferably includes a memory and a database. The access element accesses the network sniffer and filters out unavailable information by using information such as address and port numbers gathered by the network sniffer. Unavailable information includes information which is non-public or beyond the privilege level of the particular user. The access element evaluates data streams which are public information to determine if the data streams meet a predetermined criteria. If the data streams meet the predetermined criteria, then the data is saved in the database. The access element transfers only the information available to the particular user to the access interface.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1996Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: John Paul Harvey
