Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for predicting localized carbon intensity of an electrical grid, comprising: (a) receiving a topography of the electrical grid; and (b) assigning one or more emissions factors to a first set of nodes or a second set of nodes associated with one or more flows of electrical power through the first set of nodes or the second set of nodes of the topography. Assigning the one or more emissions factors may comprise using a trained machine learning (ML) model to determine a power distribution at a node of the first set of nodes or the second set of nodes. The trained ML model may be trained using one or more flows of electrical power through a first set of nodes or a second set of nodes of the topography. The method may also comprise (c) determining one or more carbon intensities from the one or more emissions factors at the first set of nodes or the second set of nodes, thereby predicting the localized carbon intensity of the electrical grid.

Abstract: A control system for a power network, the control system comprising at least one monitoring device or constraint controller for monitoring, determining or measuring at least one parameter of one or more points, such as constraint locations, on the power network; and one or more device controllers for controlling at least one device connected or connectable to the power network; wherein the at least one monitoring device is configured to broadcast a request or objective based and/or dependent on the at least one measured or monitored parameter. The one or more device controllers are configured to receive or retrieve the broadcast request or objective and to determine a control action for the at least one device at least partially based on the request or objective. In this way, the control system may logically separate the determining of a condition of the point on the network from the decision of how to control the devices in order to resolve the condition.

Abstract: A system and method provides location-aware search results from a navigation or other device and provides one or more enhanced listings or advertisements with the results to offset the communication cost of the search. The sponsor may be charged for the listing or advertisement and the charge may be based on whether the device arrives in an area around the sponsor location within a threshold amount of time.

Abstract: A system and method splices into, or replaces routes identified based on road geometry with routes taken by the same user or other users to create alternate routes that may be selected by a user to display, for example, on a map or for which driving directions can be displayed. Communication of routes traveled by different devices may be received from a server or from another device. A naming convention for road segments and ordered paths of road segments is described.

Abstract: Provided is a method of providing calendar notification information on a mobile device. The location of the mobile device and the location of a calendar entry are sent to a remote server. The remote server gathers real-time traffic information along the route between the mobile device and the calendar entry and provides the mobile device with an estimated travel time.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for network-based sales force automation are provided that meet objectives of increasing sales and marketing efficiency and efficiency of technical and customer support by providing multi-dimensional displays of transactional information to users. Transactional information of deals, contacts, accounts, and leads is provided over the Internet using a Web browser. The information of related transactions is electronically linked, and the transactional information is electronically searchable using custom profiles. The transactional information is accessed and shared among host organization members according to a hierarchy and predefined territories. A Radar Screen Opportunity Display (RSOD) may be selected on which deal objects are displayed that represent the stages in a sales pipeline of corresponding deals.

Abstract: A compound optical and electrical conductor includes a fiberoptic light transmitting element (multiple fibers or single solid rod) with at least one solar cell with LED therewith. The electrical conductor or conductors may be imbedded or otherwise secured within the optically conducting element or its surrounding jacket or sheath (20), or may be contained in a separate elongate retainer which may be provided to hold the optically conducting element in place as desired. The conductors may include a jacket or retainer (112) which is optically open along one side thereof, allowing the optical conductor (14) to emit light laterally therefrom subtending an angle defined by the optical gap in the jacket or retainer. One or more compound connectors may be provided, for linking two or more such compound conductors together as desired. The connectors provide for both the concentric alignment of the optical conductors, and also the electrical connection of the electrical conductors (16a-16c) of the compound devices.
