System and method of automated acquisition, correlation and display of power distribution grid operational parameters and weather events

ActiveUS20130268196A1Quickly and efficiently evaluateReduce or prevent weather induced outagesWeather condition predictionForecastingElectric power transmissionDisplay device
Significant changes in monitored and reported operational parameters and / or power outage events occurring in a utility's electrical power transmission / distribution grid are correlated with historical, current and / or forecast weather events based on potential root cause, geographic and temporal constraints. Operational event and outage information is collected and time-stamped using a communication network of devices and sources that monitor and report, among other things, equipment parameters, electric power availability and outages. A computer-implemented root cause analysis engine (RCA) operatively associated with a computer-implemented weather data correlation engine sorts and analyzes operational parameter / event information and identifies probable correlations to localized weather phenomenon. Operational parameters / events are then displayed using a graphic display device in a manner that enables user controllable and configurable viewing of a time-lapse evolution of weather phenomenon overlayed with graphics representing both weather-related and other relevant operational parameters / events depicted in relation to the utility's physical infrastructure.

Automated bill presentment and payment

The Automated Bill Presentment and Payment system is an information and payment processing system which enables secure electronic processing of invoices and payments between parties who do not have an existing electronic business or payment relationship (e.g. bank direct debit) and who cannot, or prefer not to, use electronic means (internet or telephonic credit card) for payments. It utilises existing physical infrastructure (ATMs or call centres) and payment processing highways for presenting invoices and making payments. It increases the privacy, reliability and security of payments while reducing the cost of processing invoices and payments by eliminating the mailing and processing of invoices and cheques as well as the registration of credit card information through telephone operators or automated telephone answering systems.

Using an SDN controller to automatically test cloud performance

A method and associated systems for using a software-defined network (SDN) controller to automatically test cloud performance. A bandwidth measuring and optimizing system associated with the SDN controller detects a triggering condition and, in response, directs a network-management tool to measure a bandwidth of a segment of a physical infrastructure of a network and directs the SDN controller to provision a virtual machine that then measures a bandwidth of a corresponding segment of virtual infrastructure that is overlaid upon the physical segment. In some embodiments, these two tests are synchronized so as to concurrently measure physical and virtual bandwidths while the same test data passes through the virtual infrastructure segment. The measured bandwidth of the virtual segment is then compared to the measured bandwidth of the physical segment in order to determine an efficiency of the virtual network.

Performing large scale structured search allowing partial schema changes without system downtime

A method and apparatus is provided for hosting within a search engine, large-scale heterogeneous repositories of searchable and navigable content. Customers of the hosting platform are customers wanting to outsource the management of their searchable content. Content domain experts from each customer independently define a taxonomy of categories and attributes for their structured content that form a hierarchical set of nodes (a directed graph) that are mapped to a common physical search engine infrastructure. The mapping algorithm that maps unique attributes across potentially very different subject domains onto the same physical infrastructure is introduced. Once the physical structure is created, the search engine can use it for searching or navigating just within one customer's domain or users can search across multiple customer domains. When a customer makes changes to the logical structure, each individual change is categorized as compatible and incompatible, and executed in different time frames based on the amount of disruption it will require to the operational system.
