  • Patent number: 11868585
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein are directed to resource monitoring and resource consumption analytics. Resource usage is tracked through a gateway device monitoring resources using remote input sensors, and usage data is transmitted to a central processing unit whereby the data is interpreted and compared with usage over time and site conditions such as weather. For example, incoming usage data is compared with resource signatures in a signature library representing an ideal usage or historical usage for given site condition. This data is interpreted into simple command displays with alerts, alarms, thereby reporting and alerting to an end-user via multiple delivery mechanisms, of potential sources of resource waste or loss. Further, the alerts or alarms can include easily interpreted recommendations to allow a non-skilled worker to take corrective procedures to maximize efficient use of the consumable resources.

  • Patent number: 11159856
    Abstract: Systems and methods for non-linear content presentation and experience are provided. A plurality of real-time streams of content may be received over a communication network. At least one of the streams may be provided in real-time to a user device to be played in real-time. At least one other stream may be evaluated in real-time to detect when an event occurs within the evaluated stream. The user device may be sent a notification when the event is detected in the evaluated stream. Such notification may be overlaid on a portion of the provided stream played at the user device. A request may be received from the user device concerning jumping to the detected event in the evaluated stream. The evaluated stream may then be provided to the user device at a point prior to the detected event.

  • Patent number: 10564802
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein are directed to graphical user interfaces presenting resource consumption analytics. Resource usage is provided in a graphical user interface indicating current resource consumption and/or historical resource consumption. Weather data and a cumulative running total can be provided along with the resource consumption data to clearly provide a deep understanding of resource usage and operating conditions. Further, resource consumption information from multiple monitoring locations may be juxtaposed and/or presented simultaneously to provide an indication of outlying usage consumption among similarly situated monitoring locations. The graphical user interfaces may be provided with alerts, alarms, thereby reporting and alerting to an end-user via multiple delivery mechanisms, of potential sources of resource waste or loss.

  • Patent number: 8385560
    Abstract: A noise canceling and communication system includes an in-ear device adapted to fit in the ear canal of a device user. A passive noise reduction element reduces external noise entering the ear canal. An external microphone senses an external acoustic signal outside the ear canal. An internal microphone senses an internal acoustic signal proximal to the tympanic membrane. One or more internal sound generators produce a noise cancellation signal and an acoustic communication signal, both directed towards the tympanic membrane. A probe tube shapes an acoustic response between the internal sound generator and the internal microphone to be relatively constant over a wide audio frequency band. An electronics module is located externally of the ear canal and in communication with the in-ear device for processing the microphone signals using a hybrid feed forward and feedback active noise reduction algorithm to produce the noise cancellation signal.

    Abstract: A noise canceling and communication system is described. An in-ear device is adapted to fit in the ear canal of a device user. A passive noise reduction element reduces external noise entering the ear canal. An external microphone senses an external acoustic signal outside the ear canal to produce a representative external microphone signal. An internal microphone senses an internal acoustic signal proximal to the tympanic membrane to produce a representative internal microphone signal. One or more internal sound generators produce a noise cancellation signal and an acoustic communication signal, both directed towards the tympanic membrane. A probe tube shapes an acoustic response between the internal sound generator and the internal microphone to be relatively constant over a wide audio frequency band.
