| 20090058631 | ALARM MANAGEMENT USING SOURCE ATTRIBUTES - An alarm management system includes an alarm management system server (“alarm server”), one or more data sources, and one or more system users (and associated user devices), all of which can be communicably connected through a communications network. The system can be configured by defining the data sources and users, defining attributes, assigning and associating attribute values with the data sources and users, and defining alarm conditions in terms of attribute values and measurements. The data sources generate measurement data which is provided to the alarm server, and the alarm server evaluates the data to determine whether the alarm conditions have been met. A data set of data sources matching alarm conditions can be generated and reported to one or more of the users. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090070168 | Enterprise energy management system with social network approach to data analysis - A system for analyzing power management data by a community of users having a common interest is disclosed. Power management related data is collected from multiple sources and categorized. The power management data can then be manipulated and presented based at least on the categorization thereof. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090292485 | System and Method for Synchronized Measurements - A system and method of synchronizing measurements between a master monitor ( | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090292486 | Load Model Generation for Estimating a Load Value from a Base Load Value in a System - A method and system for establishing a load model ( | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100094473 | System For Detecting Load Loss Following An Electrical Power Disturbance - A method of detecting an electrical load loss following an electrical power disturbance in a monitored electrical power distribution system comprises (1) determining an expected characteristic of a parameter representing normal operation of an electrical load receiving power from the electrical power distribution system, (2) detecting a disturbance in the monitored electrical power distribution system, and (3) determining whether the load, or power circuit, or a portion of the load or power circuit, was lost as a result of the disturbance, by evaluating an actual characteristic of the parameter after termination of the disturbance with respect to the expected characteristic of said parameter. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100114390 | LOAD OPERATION PROFILING AND NOTIFICATION IN A MONITORED ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - A method of monitoring the operation of a load in an electrical power distribution system comprises selecting a parameter representing operation of the load, determining an expected characteristic of the parameter during normal operation of the load, and comparing measured values of the parameter with the expected characteristic to detect potential abnormal operation of the load. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100312875 | AUTOMATED DISCOVERY OF MONITORING DEVICES ON A NETWORK - A system and method are disclosed for the automated discovery of devices on a network, such as a TCP/IP network using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (“DHCP”) and Domain Name System (“DNS”) servers. Devices on the network may be discovered, identified, and tracked by a monitoring server. Communications with the monitoring server may include identification information for each device. The identification information may be stored in DHCP option fields, transmitted with DHCP messages, and used to identify whether the device is new to the network. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110012743 | Monitoring System Supporting Proximity Based Actions - A monitoring system includes a discoverable wireless device, a proximity monitor, and a monitoring server. The proximity monitor is configured to automatically discover the discoverable wireless device in response to the discoverable wireless device being within a wireless range of the proximity monitor. The monitoring server is communicatively connected to the proximity monitor via a communications network. The monitoring server is configured to i) receive proximity information associated with the discoverable wireless device from the proximity monitor, and ii) transmit an instruction signal based on the received proximity information to an electrical component located remotely from the proximity monitor. The instruction signal causes the electrical component to modify an operating parameter of the electrical component. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110161402 | Power Monitoring System With Proxy Server For Processing And Transforming Messages And Context-Specific Caching - An electrical power monitoring system is provided with a proxy server between at least one monitoring device and at least one client device for processing and transforming messages and context-specific caching. The electrical power monitoring system includes at least one monitoring device coupled to an electrical power distribution system for sensing and storing data representing operating characteristics of the power distribution system. At least one client device is coupled to the monitoring device for requesting data from the monitoring device and processing, storing and presenting data received from the monitoring device, and a communications network is coupled to the monitoring and client devices. The proxy server is coupled to the communications network for receiving messages from the client device as a virtual device, processing the messages, and altering the messages before communicating the messages to the monitoring device to which the messages from the client devices are directed, or deferring communication of at least portions of the messages to the actual monitoring device to which the requests are directed until a later time. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110161951 | INFORMATION BRIDGE BETWEEN MANUFACTURER SERVER AND MONITORING DEVICE ON A CUSTOMER NETWORK - According to one aspect, a monitoring device is in communication with a computer over a first network. The computer is further in communication with a server over a second network. The computer includes a memory. A method for providing device information from the monitoring device to the server includes accessing a device web page stored on the monitoring device using a browser application operating on the computer. The monitoring device measures a utility characteristic and stores data indicative of the utility characteristic on a memory of the monitoring device. The method further includes receiving a file from the monitoring device. The file includes the device information. The device information includes at least device model information that identifies a model or type of the monitoring device. The method still further includes storing the file in the memory of the computer, accessing a server web page stored on the server using the browser application operating on the computer, and transmitting the file to the server. | 06-30-2011 |
