A system for and method of modeling thermal performance characteristics of HVAC components in a building uses the building power or other meter to measure power consumed by the components. The models are used to test the components, preferably during off hours, to ensure proper and efficient operation. Preferably, the testing software is written in a high-level interpretive language that is independent of the HVAC component being modeled. The models are adaptively maintained by periodically ensuring that their measured output matches the predicted output. When the two do not match, the model parameters are updated. These models can also be used to generate reports comparing costs and cost savings for different temperature and other environmental settings within selected zones in the building.

A device user interface in which language is decoupled from a document is disclosed. The language content is stored separately from the document structure and may be located on a content specific server or on a language server. The language server permits centralized collection of language-related content and language services. The document without the language content acts like a template that can be populated with any type of language-related content. The language content can be provided in a separate file together with associated identifiers, and can be loaded into a cache or document object model (DOM) for processing. An XML file may be used for the language file, and the document may be constructed using HTML code. Document components can be assigned event handlers that cause pop-up boxes to be loaded and displayed with language-related content upon an event trigger.

A method, system and computer program product for automatically identifying unique language independent keys. A “value search” is performed which provides a listing of values for a locale. Upon the user selecting a value in the listing, a “key search” is performed to search for various language independent keys associated with the selected value. A second locale is suggested as well as a listing of values for the second locale that are the same in meaning as the value selected by the user for the first locale in order to narrow the number of language independent keys displayed in connection with the value selected for the first locale. Upon the user selecting a value for the second locale, a subsequent key search is performed on the language independent keys displayed in connection with the first value. A unique language independent key may be identified based on this subsequent key search.

The invention may be embodied as a system having and / or a method utilizing a searchable database of index information. Each index in the database may have (a) at least one descriptor, which matches an entry that a user might provide in order to identify an item, (b) a first pointer which identifies a location of the item, and (c) a second pointer which identifies a location of information that may be helpful to the user in deciding whether to request retrieval of the item. The first pointers of one index may be the same as first pointers in a different index. The second pointer may identify a general class to which an item belongs.

A code abstraction can be created within a software meta-development tool as a platform and programming language independent representation of a software application. The code abstraction can be comprised of action objects and data flow connectors. An action object can be a graphical placeholder representing software code that implements software behavior. Each action object can have an input and an output stream that are unconstrained by data type. A data flow connector can connect the output stream of one action object to the input stream of another sequentially-related action object. The data flow connector can graphically express a directional relationship and can define input data and transformation parameters. The data flow connector can implicitly represent the operations necessary to convert the input data in accordance with the transformation parameters. Authoring of the software code associated with the code abstraction by a user of the software meta-development tool can be unnecessary.

A method, system and computer program product for automatically identifying unique language independent keys. A “key search” is performed which searches for various language independent keys in a properties file associated with a value or text string entered in a first locale. A second locale is suggested to narrow the number of language independent keys displayed in connection with the value entered in the first locale. Upon receiving the value for the second locale, another key search is performed, where this key search is performed on the language independent keys displayed in connection with the first value entered in association with the first locale. A unique language independent key may be identified based on this subsequent key search. By performing key searches and suggesting a second locale to narrow the number of language independent keys, the time in identifying a unique language independent key is reduced and efficiency is improved.

A method is disclosed for controlling a voice-activated device by interpreting a spoken command as a series of voiced and non-voiced intervals. A responsive action is then performed according to the number of voiced intervals in the command. The method is well-suited to applications having a small number of specific voice-activated response functions. Applications using the inventive method offer numerous advantages over traditional speech recognition systems including speaker universality, language independence, no training or calibration needed, implementation with simple microcontrollers, and extremely low cost. For time-critical applications such as pulsers and measurement devices, where fast reaction is crucial to catch a transient event, the method provides near-instantaneous command response, yet versatile voice control.
