Abstract: A method for controlling a temperature of a building using a building thermal model of the building in a model predictive control (MPC) system includes measuring the temperature and a rate of change of temperature for at least one zone that is included in the building thermal model so as to determine an error from a temperature and rate of change of temperature that is predicted by the MPC system. Possible causes of the error and a probability of each of the possible causes of error occurring are determined. An impact of each of the possible causes is evaluated so as to identify at least one of the possible causes which would reduce the error. The building thermal model is adapted based on the at least one identified possible cause and the temperature of the building is controlled using the adapted building thermal model in an MPC controller.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing contextual calendar reminders are provided. A host can receive a calendar reminder notifying the host that a calendar for a property listing maintained by the host may need to be updated. The system can provide the host with a reminder to update the calendar for the property listing based on criteria related to the expected number of times the host will view the calendar within a designated time period and the timing of the host's last interaction with the calendar. If the designated criteria are satisfied, the system can generate a reminder for the host to update the calendar for the property listing. Before sending the reminder to the host, the system confirms that the host did not recently interact with the calendar and if the host did interact with the calendar, the system cancels the sending of the reminder.

Abstract: A method for a building automation system to control a comfort level in a building includes tracking a building occupant's activity data using a wearable activity tracker. A smartphone is coupled to the wearable activity tracker. Activity data is collected from the wearable activity tracker using a smartphone app operating on the building occupant's smartphone, and a comfort value is determined using the smartphone app based on the activity data. A report of the comfort value is transmitted to a building automation system (BAS) app from the smartphone, and the output of a building system is controlled based on the comfort value.

Abstract: An online system uses a model to determine affinities of users for geographical locations. Using the affinities, which may indicate travel-related preferences of the users, the online system may customize content items to include content captured by client devices of other users of the online system. For example, the online system presents to a particular user a content item including a photo or video of a geographical location captured by a camera of a client device of another user who is connected to the particular user. The model may implement, for example, collaborative filtering or other machine learning techniques to determine commonalities between users' travel affinities. Additionally, the model may determine latent properties or temporal trends of user preferences based on training data including historical actions performed on the online system or social data. The model may also classify different types of geographical locations.

Abstract: A GFCI circuit that includes an electronically controllable main switch that can turn on, and turn off, the delivery of electrical power from the GFCI circuit. The main switch is controlled and monitored by a microcontroller unit using at least digital input and digital output signals, and which includes analog to digital converter. The microcontroller unit may also use the on-off functionality of the main switch in connection with repeatable detection of miswiring of the GFCI circuit. The GFCI circuit can further be adapted to conduct a self-test that can temporarily disable the ability of a trip signal generated by a GFCI integrated circuit in response to a test fault to cause the tripping of the main switch. The microcontroller unit further monitors one or more characteristics of the GFCI circuit, including the main switch and trip signal(s), and can determine whether the GFCI circuit has reached its end-of-life stage.

Abstract: An online system customizes content items by processing a matrix of temporal values using different types of filters. A temporal filter filters the matrix using time-based parameters such as start dates and end dates of the temporal values. An action filter filters the matrix using actions performed by the users and may also generate a likelihood that a user will interact with a content item including a selected temporal value. A category filter filters the matrix using user profile information of the users received by the online system. Users may be more likely to interact with content items selected by the online system using the filtering process because the content items include temporal values or other information that are customized to preferences of particular users. For example, the customized content items include information describing lodgings that the users are likely to select.

Abstract: An online system uses rules and/or machine learning models to provide travel related content items to users. The online system may determine when a user is likely to travel and provide the content items in advance of a trip. The online system may also provide content items during a trip that indicate modifications to the user's itinerary, for example, adding a rental car, upgrading a flight ticket, or upgrading a hotel room. Further, the online system may provide a content item after a user has checked out of a hotel that describes a loyalty program of the hotel. In one example, the online system trains machine learning models using feature vectors derived based on trips taken by a population of users of the online system and itinerary information from third parties. The content items may be generated based on information provided from the third parties.

Abstract: An inventive UE carrier aggregation (CA) capability reporting signalling model allows UEs (30) aggregating large numbers of component carriers to transmit CA-relevant capabilities to the network more efficiently than the current (legacy) signalling model. Rather than reporting CA/MIMO/CSI/NAICS capabilities separately for each supported band combination, including fallback configurations, embodiments of the present invention either report UE Radio Frequency (RF) and Baseband (BB) related capabilities separately, or report them disassociated from CA band configurations. This approach avoids the need to signal the full UE (30) set of capabilities for each of (possibly many) supported band combinations. Furthermore, fallback capabilities are signalled implicitly, eliminating the need to transmit this data.

Abstract: A microgrid is disclosed which includes a number of electrical loads and a number of potential grid forming sources. The potential grid forming sources can include an electrical grid, PhotoVoltaic (PV) system, energy storage system, and a generator, among potential others. The microgrid can operate in islanded mode. A controller can be used to control the powered state of the electrical loads and potential grid forming sources through use of a priority list of actions in which the controller determines whether adding or removing electrical loads will alleviate a power imbalance. In some forms the controller can tally the electrical loads by considering a potential power source (such as one of the potential grid forming sources placed in a mode to provide power to the microgrid) as a negative load. A validity check can be provided in the priority list to assist in determining whether an action can be taken.

Abstract: A method for performing energy management for a building includes generating a stack of energy loads representative of a plurality of building energy loads. The energy loads are prioritized from highest priority energy loads to lowest priority energy loads. The prioritized energy loads are then compared to a building power threshold. The lowest priority energy loads are shed until a sum of remaining energy loads is equal to or less than the building power threshold. The remaining energy loads are serviced. The processes of prioritizing the energy loads, comparing the prioritized energy loads to a building power threshold, and shedding the lowest priority energy loads is repeated in response to changes in circumstances affecting the building.
