Abstract: A system includes a plurality of thermostats corresponding to a plurality of HVAC systems that serve a plurality of spaces and a computing system communicable with the plurality of thermostats via a network. The computing system is configured to, for each space of the plurality of spaces, obtain a set of training data relating to thermal behavior of the space, identify a model of thermal behavior of the space based on the set of training data, perform a model predictive control process using the model of thermal behavior of the space to obtain a temperature setpoint for the space, and provide the temperature setpoint to the thermostat corresponding to the HVAC system serving the space. The plurality of thermostats are configured to control the plurality of HVAC systems in accordance with the temperature setpoints.

Abstract: The present invention provides a heat sink for use with a heat-generating electrical component. The heat sink comprises a heat-conducting body having first and second opposing edges, and a clamping arm. The heat sink is configured to at least partially support the electrical, heat-generating component. The heat-conducting body further includes a receiving catch coupled to the first edge. The clamping arm has a first end hinged to the heat-conducting body at the second edge and a second end configured to cooperatively engage the receiving catch and maintain the clamping arm in a locked position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for maintaining the edge of a moving web on a web handling apparatus at a desired operating path. The operating path of a web edge is monitored with respect to a first desired edge path. The web is secured for movement along an intended path of travel. The web edge is maintained at the first desired edge path. The web edge is monitored with respect to a second desired edge path as it is maintained on the first desired edge path. The web is automatically maintained along the second desired edge path.
