| 20120074780 | LOAD CONTROL APPARATUS WITH PEAK REDUCTION IN AGGREGATE BEHAVIOR - When load control is activated by a local or remote mechanism to control a load, the method and system use a usage profile of the load and one or more of (1) interval start times, (2) ON/OFF or OFF/ON cycling and (3) predefined periods during which load must not be allowed to run (e.g., dead zones) to determine when a particular piece of equipment is allowed to shed or run thereby reducing the probability of occurrence of cyclical and non-cyclical aggregate peaking of usage wherein cyclical peaking is manifested as an artifact of the local load control rules during a load control event. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120039400 | DIGITAL TWO WAY AUTOMATIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (TWACS) OUTBOUND RECEIVER AND METHOD - A receiver and method for a transponder of a two-way automatic communications system (TWACS) used by an electrical utility in which analog outbound messages are sent from the utility to a consumer and inbound, reply messages are sent from the consumer to the utility. The receiver and method enable a transponder to detect the outbound messages and include A/D conversion and digital processing for demodulating a digitized signal and providing the outbound message. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20100244563 | UNDER FREQUENCY/UNDER VOLTAGE DETECTION IN A DEMAND RESPONSE UNIT - A demand response unit (DRU) interposed between a utility's electrical power line (PL) and at least one load (L | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100214123 | WIRELESS BROADBAND COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK FOR A UTILITY - A communications network ( | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100070103 | METHOD FOR LOAD CONTROL USING TEMPORAL MEASUREMENTS OF ENERGY FOR INDIVIDUAL PIECES OF EQUIPMENT - A method for load control in an electrical distribution system using energy usage profiles based on temporal measurements. A load control unit ( | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100054349 | GENERAL METHOD FOR LOW-FREQUENCY DATA TRANSMISSION ON A POWER LINE - A method for producing a set of inbound pulse patterns and detection vectors for lengths longer than 4 cycles in an AC waveform. These are used for generating inbound messages in a two-way automatic communication system (TWACS). The method uses Hadamard matrices adapted to generate a set of detection vectors by permuting rows of a matrix and removing certain columns of the matrix to meet system design requirements. The method can be extended to any length and modified to accommodate multiple pulses per half-cycle to support higher data rates. | 03-04-2010 |
