A load control circuit controls the available demand resources based on the voltage trip points. | 12-06-2012 |
20130218360 | AGGREGATE LOAD MANAGEMENT AT A SYSTEM LEVEL - A method for aggregate load management includes determining whether a load capacity limit within a utility power network will be exceeded, selecting an aggregated demand reduction target to remain within capacity bounds if the load capacity limit is to be exceeded, selecting a demand reduction strategy, and sending a control signal that includes a randomized PWM level, based on the strategy, to a controller in a load component of the utility system based on the reduction target. A method for component load management includes receiving a control signal from a utility system based on a utility demand reduction strategy, converting the signal into randomized PWM control of the load component in accordance therewith, receiving an updated control signal based on utility system monitoring of an aggregate load of a component of the utility system, and converting the updated signal into randomized PWM control of the load component in accordance therewith. | 08-22-2013 |
20140214225 | PWM BASED ENERGY MANAGEMENT WITH LOCAL DISTRIBUTED TRANSFORMER CONSTRAINTS - The present subject matter relates energy management systems and methodologies wherein control over local appliances is implemented to control stress on a local transformer to which a plurality of user locations may be connected. Some of the user locations are provided with home energy management (HEM) devices that control operation of certain appliance at their location based in part on constraints associated with the local transformer. The HEMs may negotiate among themselves how to meet the constraints of the local transformer and, in certain circumstances, take into consideration estimates of usage at user locations connected to the local transformer but that do not have their own HEM. | 07-31-2014 |
20140214229 | LOW-FREQUENCY PWM APPLIANCE RESPONSE TO DEMAND RESPONSE MANAGEMENT SIGNALS - The present subject matter relates to energy management. Home energy management (HEM) devices are directed from a central control system to modify energy usage among appliances/loads within individual homes to meet energy source demand limitations. The HEM devices may work in cooperation with a group of such devices as a unit to negotiate with the central control system and then individually to control energy usage for their separately controlled home appliances/loads to meet group negotiated aggregate energy usage modification, for example, usage reductions so as to minimized peak usage demands on the energy source. | 07-31-2014 |

20090062916 | Method and apparatus for an osteotomy fixation or arthrodesis cage - A method and apparatus for an osteotomy fixation or arthrodesis cage allows the adjustment of the relative position of two bone segments while supporting the joining of those bone segments into one structure through the implant and methods described herein. The implant's embodiments fixate to the adjacent bones while inter-positioning its body between the bone segments. This inter-positioning allows anatomical adjustments in the distance between and angle of the bone segments. The adjustment is further enhanced by the use of shape memory materials that when activated through the application of heat energy, transition from a second shape to a first shape while changing the distance between the bones or their relative angle. This method and apparatus can be used on any adjacent bone or bone segments including but not limited to the vertebrae of the spine or long bone such as the tibia or metatarsal. | 03-05-2009 |
20100063506 | Method and apparatus for a multiple transition temperature implant - A shape-memory device manufactured from shape memory material includes multiple activation temperatures. The multiple activation temperatures arise from either the heat treatment of the device during manufacturing, or by combining different elements with different activation temperatures. To manufacture a shape-memory device with multiple activation temperatures, it is formed into a first shape. A first portion of the shape-memory device is heated to a first temperature, and a second portion of the shape-memory device is heated to a second temperature. The shape-memory device is then worked into a second shape. Accordingly, the first portion has a first transition temperature, and the second portion has a second transition temperature. In use, the shape-memory device is placed into a desired position. Energy is applied such that the first portion, second portion, or both portions are transformed. | 03-11-2010 |
20120083791 | Method and system for storing and inserting an implant - An implant storage and insertion system for a shape memory orthopedic implant allows the implant to be constrained in a deformed state, protected, insulated, held for insertion, and properly positioned in bone. The implant storage and insertion system includes a restraining block having an impact surface. The restraining block engages an implant at a first end, and further a medical instrument engages the restraining block and positions the restraining block at a bone such that the impact surface may be impacted to insert a second end of the implant into the bone. | 04-05-2012 |
