20150352363 | Clinical Decision Support System - Example apparatus and methods concern a next generation clinical decision support system (ngCDSS) for the management of neurological conditions (e.g., advanced Parkinson's disease (PD)). Conventional coupled adjustment of pharmacologic therapy and stimulation parameter settings is a time-consuming process that sometimes yields sub-optimal outcomes. Example ngCDSS use a machine learning trained function that relates deep brain stimulation (DBS) parameters, medication dosages, and patient-specific pre and post operative clinical data with actual treatment outcomes for a population of previously treated patients. Example ngCDSS incorporate image-based patient-specific computer models of the estimated stimulation volume of tissue stimulated by DBS in a multi-linear regression analysis to produce a predictor function that is highly correlated with actual outcomes. Example ngCDSS facilitate predicting the outcomes of a combined pharmacologic-DBS therapy, which in turn facilitate optimizing patient-specific treatment for improved benefits with minimal adverse effects. | 12-10-2015 |

20120197456 | APPROACH FOR NORMALIZING AUTOMATED DEMAND RESPONSE EVENTS IN ENERGY MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEMS - An approach for normalizing automated demand response events in energy management and control systems. The normalizing may be of events having disparate communication protocols and data formats. There may be a processing engine for each unique protocol or data format. When event data are received, they may be normalized into a standard format which can be utilized by an energy management and control system to initiate a pre-programmed demand response strategy. In other words, using an auto demand response service with its normalized event information, standard response strategies may be developed. The auto demand response service and standard strategies may then be deployed across an entire multi-site enterprise regardless of the auto demand response service provider servicing a particular site. There appears no need to modify the demand response strategy because the auto demand response service may handle a transformation of the auto demand response system's event data. | 08-02-2012 |
20120197457 | APPROACH FOR MANAGING DISTRIBUTION OF AUTOMATED DEMAND RESPONSE EVENTS IN A MULTI-SITE ENTERPRISE - An approach for managing distribution of automated demand response events in a multi-site enterprise. Event distribution may be controlled by an auto demand response gateway. At an enterprise level, the gateway may be implemented as a supervisor service and configured to connect with an auto demand response system. At a site level, event distribution may be managed in several ways. One is that the auto demand response service may be configured to utilize a gateway connection. The auto demand response service's client settings may be modified to select the site's energy management and command system supervisor as a host station. Another way of managing event distribution may incorporate adding auto demand response gateway functionality to the auto demand response service. When the gateway functionality is enabled, the auto demand response service may route events to other energy management and command system site controllers within a facility. | 08-02-2012 |
20120197458 | MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING OF AUTOMATED DEMAND RESPONSE IN A MULTI-SITE ENTERPRISE - An approach for management and monitoring of auto demand response in a multi-site enterprise. It may provide awareness of upcoming demand response events, monitoring actual responses to demand response events, analysis of energy management and command system performance, an ability to opt-out of a demand response event, and management and control of the demand response strategy. At the enterprise level, an auto demand response supervisor may add management and monitoring functionality. Added capabilities may incorporate message exchanging with the site-level auto demand response service, support for user interfaces that allow event monitoring and enable management actions such as opting-out of an event. At the site level, functionality may be an extension to the auto demand response service. Added capabilities may incorporate message exchanging with the enterprise-level auto demand response supervisor service, and an event response mechanism and user interface that enable a management decision to opt-out an event. | 08-02-2012 |
20140149973 | SYSTEM AND APPROACH TO MANAGE VERSIONING OF FIELD DEVICES IN A MULTI-SITE ENTERPRISE - An energy management and control system that may manage versioning firmware for devices. The system may be structured in a hierarchy of enterprise, site and field levels, with one or more computing platforms at the various levels. An enterprise supervisor may detect and obtain new version firmware for the devices at the field level. The new version firmware may be transferred from the supervisor to one or more site controllers. The one or more site controllers may transfer the new version firmware to eligible field devices. The devices may report to their respective site controllers a status of a transfer of the new version hardware. The site controllers may report to the supervisor the status of the transfer. Detection of new version firmware may be automatic. Transfer of the new version firmware to virtually all of the eligible devices may be automatic. | 05-29-2014 |
