Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a control unit for controlling operation of a heat generation installation of an energy system linked to a heat network. The control unit may: control an amount of thermal power in from or out to the heat network; determine an excess thermal power from the difference between a maximum power of the installation and a thermal power required for the system; operate the installation for providing the required thermal power in the time steps for which; and put out the excess thermal power generated by the heat generation installation at these points in time into the heat network.

Abstract: A system and method for ascertaining and printing supplemental forms identified from content of a scanned form includes a multifunction peripheral having an intelligent controller with a processor, memory, a network interface. The MFP includes a print engine and a scan engine operable from instructions issued by the controller. The scanner generates an electronic form document from a scan of tangible form document comprised of user supplied information in a user fillable form. The electronic form document includes content data associated with at least one, preexisting supplemental form that related to the electronic form. A generated electronic document is sent to a server via a network interface, which network interface then receives a supplemental electronic form identified by the server in accordance with the content data. The controller generates a printout of the supplemental electronic form via the print engine.

Abstract: A system and method for storing, distributing, filling and printing of electronic or e-forms includes a memory having a persistent storage that stores fillable electronic document forms. Network communication is made with one or more portable user devices and a printing device. A form request is received from a personal user device. In response, at least one fillable electronic document form is sent to the personal user device via the network interface. One or more filled in electronic forms are received from the personal user device. A queue position is calculated for each received form and this is output to the user. The user is notified when their turn for printing is near and they approach the printer to release a private print of their filled out form.
