Abstract: An electric power management system includes a monitor for the total power usage of a facility that monitors a history of power consumption during a set time interval of a distribution system having at least one electric load. Predictions of available power are generated through out the time interval by comparing the history of power consumption to a set allocation. Available power predictions are transmitted to the at least one electric load. The at least one load control receives the power capability predictions and controls the energy usage of the at least one electric load such that the total energy usage of the facility does not exceed the set allocation.

Abstract: An electric power monitoring system includes a source monitor for measuring momentary power output of an electric source supplying electric power to a power distribution system having at least one electric load. The momentary power output is compared with a reference load capability for the electric source to determine the ability of the electric source to support additional load, and load capability data is transmitted based on the load capability. At least one load control receives the transmitted load capability data and controls the supply of power to the at least one corresponding electric load based on the load capability data.

Abstract: Component holding apparatus includes a base portion, a supporting portion, a connecting portion, a securing portion and a pivot control portion. The base portion includes a main section with a first sleeve section extending therefrom, the first sleeve section having an axis substantially parallel to a major plane of the main section. The supporting portion includes an elongated first rod member having one end rotatably supported within the first sleeve section and extending therefrom a short distance in one direction and a greater distance in an opposite direction. A second sleeve section is affixed adjacent an end of the first rod member remote from the first sleeve section, an axis of the second sleeve section being oriented at an angle to an axis of the first rod member. The connecting portion includes a second rod member pivotally supported within the second sleeve section and extending beyond an end thereof.
