  • Patent number: 11552472
    Abstract: In a power control system a server maintains asset models that represent asset behaviour, each asset model being in real-time communication with its asset to dynamically inform the model of the status of the asset. A test is performed at the server by issuing a command to an asset requesting the asset to perform a function. Sensors at the asset measure physical parameters at the asset and report these to the server. The server determines whether the asset responded to the command and, if the asset responded, how it responded over time. The server establishes a model for the asset in terms of an energy capacitance and a time constant based on the measured response. An optimizer determines which assets are to participate in which service models. The server sends instructions to the selected assets to attempt to fulfill the services.

  • Publication number: 20200012174
    Abstract: An illumination device generally has at least one light source and an attachment assembly that connects the light source to a computing device. The light source may be one or more LEDs or a light panel using electroluminescent lighting. The illumination device includes a power source coupled to the light source and a light control mechanism to change at least one of an operative state or an intensity of the light source. The illumination device may also be integrally connected to the computing device. A light cover is implemented to cover the light source and diffuse light emanating therefrom.

  • Patent number: 9558289
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for rendering online ads on a webpage. A first inter-frame communication channel is created, which comprises a first communication channel between a first cross-domain frame and a host page, such as the webpage. The first cross-domain frame comprises content from a domain that is different than that of the host page domain. A second inter-frame communication channel is created comprising a second communication channel between the first cross-domain frame and a second cross-domain frame in the host page.

  • Patent number: 9464796
    Abstract: The illumination device generally has a light source and an attachment assembly that connects the light source to the computing device. The light source may be a plurality of LEDs or a light panel using electroluminescent lighting. The illumination device may further comprise power source and at least one touch sensitive switch. The illumination device may also be integrally connected to the computing device and uses the power source of the computing device and being controlled by buttons or switches of the computing device. The illumination device may also provide additional signals for incoming calls or ongoing calls by displaying different light intensity, pattern, or color. In some instances, a light cover is implemented to cover the light sources and diffuse light emanating therefrom.

  • Patent number: 4372736
    Abstract: A roller head securable to the discharge end of an extrusion machine, wherein the roller head has a pair of rollers each rotatable between a pair of arms pivotable about an axis transverse to the extrusion machine. Each roller is movable with respect to the other roller and to the axis of the extrusion machine by a pair of pressurizable cylinders arranged between the pivotable arms. The rollers are rotatable, even in their separated state, by an articulated drive system which permits roller rotation during machine output and during roller support arm movement. The rollers are permitted to "float" on a hydraulic suspension system utilizing an accumulator wherein the separation of the rollers is dependent upon the volume of extrudite being forced therethrough.
