| 20090030556 | Methods for assessing reliability of a utility company's power system - Methods are provided for assessing reliability of a power system of a utility company. At least one main overview display is obtained. Violation markers are displayed on the one main overview display. A monitored elements tab is updated with a list of monitored elements. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090030557 | Energy management system that provides real time situation awareness of a potential energy management failure - An energy management system has a control center at a utility company, and logic resources coupled to the power system that provide a real time notice of conditions which effect energy management of the utility company. At least one user interface is provided at the control center that is coupled to the logic resources. The user interface provides a real time situation awareness of a potential energy management failure. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090030758 | Methods for assessing potentially compromising situations of a utility company - Methods are provided for assessing potentially compromising situations of a utility company. One or more source displays of a site are accessed. A fly-out or data lensing is used to bring forward a portion of the source displays. The fly-out or data lensing is used to draw attention to a potentially compromising situation and direct the operator's attention without loosing perspective of a whole power system of the utility company. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090030759 | Methods for managing high or low voltage conditions from selected areas of a power system of a utility company - Methods are provided for managing high or low voltage conditions from selected areas of a power system of a utility company. Rubber-banding or lassoing is used to select geographic areas. Potential low or high voltage situations are identified in the selected geographic areas. Geographic displays are overlayed with superimposed VAR reserves to create overlayed geographic displays for the selected geographic areas. The overlayed geographic displays are used to identify potential low or high voltage instances in the selected geographic areas. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090031241 | Energy management system that provides a real time assessment of a potentially compromising situation that can affect a utility company - An energy management system has a control center at a utility company and logic resources that provide a real time assessment of a potentially compromising situation that can effect the utility company. At least one situational dashboard panel is provided. The logic resources enable users to dynamically create their own dashboards from large overviews, regional schematic displays and station one-line displays that assist in assessing the potentially compromising situation of the utility company. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090031249 | Methods for creating dynamic lists from selected areas of a power system of a utility company - Methods are provided for creating dynamic lists from selected areas of a power system of a utility company. The utility company has an energy management system with a control panel. The energy management system is used to access one or more source displays of a site. Rubber-banding or lassoing is used to create selected areas from at least a portion of the source displays, Lists are dynamically created. Operator defined information is displayed for each element type in a list of network elements from the selected areas that have been rubber-banded or lassoed. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20090255460 | APPLYING A PROTECTIVE COATING TO MARKED MEDIA IN A PRINT ENGINE - A method of applying a protective coating over ink printed media in a digital printing engine whereby horizontally discharging ink jet nozzles arranged in a vertical array, discharging a protective coating onto the marked surface of media disposed on a belt in vertical disposition. The coated media is then transported vertically to an adjacent source of ultraviolet radiation for curing the protective coating. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100306675 | PEER-TO-PEER BASED CONTENT DELIVERY IN A VIRTUAL UNIVERSE - The present invention permits performance adjustment in a virtual universe. In particular, the invention proposes a mixed server-based/peer-to-peer approach, in which transmission responsibilities are shifted towards peer-to-peer computing as the number of avatars within a region increases. The invention may foster fluid business transactions (e.g., sales) during times of high avatar load. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100333031 | MANAGING MULTIPLE VIRTUAL WORLD ACCOUNTS FROM A SINGLE VIRTUAL LOBBY INTERFACE - A virtual lobby client automatically interfaces with multiple virtual world instances, each provided by a separate virtual world provider from among a plurality of virtual world providers, each interfaced with to access a separate one from among a plurality of virtual world accounts, to retrieve a separate selection of inventory items from each of the plurality of virtual world accounts. The virtual lobby client renders an inventory directory index of each separate selection of inventory items collectively within a single lobby interface of the virtual lobby client with at least one selectable option for managing each of the items in the inventory directory from the single lobby interface. The virtual lobby client renders, within the single lobby interface, a separate graphical portal from among a plurality of graphical portals for each of the plurality of virtual accounts, wherein entry of each of the separate graphical portals from the single lobby interface triggers the virtual lobby client to automatically open a virtual world specific interface window into a particular virtual world instance from among the plurality of virtual world instances provided under the particular virtual world account associated with the entered graphical portal. | 12-30-2010 |
