Abstract: An energy management system (EMS) and corresponding EMS manager are provided that provide improved extensibility and dynamic updating of models for predicting and optimizing power system management. In one aspect, an EMS predicts generation and consumption of a power system and optimizes operation of the power system using various forecasting and optimization models. The models may be managed and updated by the EMS manager based on data received from the EMS and other EMSs in communication with the EMS manager. The EMS manager may be configured to dynamically update and promulgate updates to models used by the EMS and other aspects of the EMS. The EMS may have an architecture including an application layer configured for the specific management system and a collection of updatable and expandable modules to facilitate forecasting, optimization, communication, and data management for the managed system.

Abstract: A container including a reusable electronic seal, as well as a system and method for using the electronic seal are described. The container includes a closure member configured to detachably affix to a portion of the container, thereby sealing the container. In response to the closure member sealing the container, a signal generating component generates an electronic signal and transmits the electronic signal to a processing circuit operably connected to the signal generating component. The processing circuit includes a processing device configured to generate a unique code when the closure member is manipulated to open or close the container and an output device operably connected to the processing device and configured to output the unique code. The unique code is updated each time the container is opened, thereby providing a recipient with a way to determine whether the container has been opened during delivery.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for the treatment and management of pain in a subject comprising or consisting of topically or orally administering a therapeutic effective amount of a composition. The composition is made up of minute amounts of herbal extracts and compound mixtures to a subject. The composition includes turmeric extract, Boswellia extract, ginger extract, holy basil extract, rosemary extract, white willow extract and alpha lipolic acid each in minute amounts.

Abstract: An auxiliary drive device is disclosed that connects to a motorised vehicle to supplement the drive of the motorised vehicle depending on the speed and acceleration of the motorised vehicle by using stored energy. The auxiliary drive device obtains energy by regenerative braking when the motorised vehicle decelerates, extracting energy from the motorised vehicle by using hybrid through the road, and by recharging from the power grid. The auxiliary drive device uses the stored energy to supplement the drive of the motorised vehicle depending on the motorised vehicle speed, acceleration, drive cycle, the amount of energy stored, and if the motorised vehicle is towing a load. A controller maximizes fuel savings and towing performance of the motorised vehicle. The controller determines when the auxiliary drive device needs to provide the mortised vehicle with power assistance, resistance via braking and when to conserve the stored energy for later use.
