A technique is provided for automatically controlling configuration of a power grid, which includes one or more stand-alone sub-grids. Each stand-alone sub-grid includes a power generator, and a load is associated with the stand-alone sub-grid(s). The technique includes: monitoring the power grid by monitoring power demand of a load associated with the stand-alone sub-grid(s) and the power generated by the power generator within each stand-alone sub-grid; automatically determining that a grid configuration change is required for the power grid based on the monitoring; and dynamically reconfiguring the power grid by automatically modifying a number of stand-alone sub-grids in the power grid without interrupting power to the load associated with the stand-alone sub-grid(s) of the power grid. In one implementation, the power grid is a mobile power grid, and the power generator of each stand-alone sub-grid is a portable power generator.

Automated control of a power network is provided by: providing multiple intelligent power controllers (IPCs) associated with multiple components of the power network, each IPC being associated with a different component; obtaining at least one raw data stream representative of at least one operational aspect of at least one component of the multiple components; and automatically associating, by at least one intelligent power controller associated with at least one component, metadata with the at least one raw data stream to produce at least one self-identifying data stream. The associated metadata describes one or more characteristics of the at least one raw data stream, and the at least one self-identifying data stream facilitates automated creation of predictive process models to assist in automated control of the power network by an IPC manager of the power network.

This patent covers a process for automatically ordering permanent versions of individual songs or albums heard on satellite or digital radio stations. As the song is being played, existing RDS or other song/artist identification techniques are used to identify the recording label, artist, album and song. By pressing a button on the front of the radio, the listener can send a signal to a processing center and order the album or CD, or they may also purchase just the compressed version of the song suitable for playback using standard MP3 or equivalent technologies. The payment transaction occurs either through the radio subscription service or through a third-party service. A menu that appears during the purchasing process is used to select purchase of either the single song, the entire album or CD, and is also used to confirm the purchase.

A wind powered electric generator is provided with variable electric power output in accordance with wind speed. The wind powered electric generator has a multiple coil arrangement that allows electric power to be produced at low wind speeds as well as at high wind speeds. Also provided is multiple sealed coil packs with a magnetic coupling adjustment mechanism as well as a method and control system for controlling 0 through 100 percent power output of the wind powered electric generator in relation to wind speed.

A process for integrating and applying quality control on irregular time-series data comprising the steps of: A component that accepts any number of tag points for integration over arbitrary, user-specified intervals, internal statistical algorithms for manipulating the data streams, routines for accepting values from external sources that can be either sequential on-line data streams or historic data files that simulate said data streams, and methods for identifying suspicious or erroneous data values.

A process for providing a method for describing the sequencing of computer-based process models comprising the steps of: sequencing the models in the correct order, ascribing inputs to models based on outputs of precedent models, and allowing the inclusion of arbitrary control variables that are not derived from model outputs.
