Abstract: Systems and methods for visualization of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployments are disclosed. A status associated with communications towers or metering devices in an AMI deployment can be monitored based on alarms generated by a metering vendor system or based on thresholds specified in the AMI operations database. A user interface can be generated that allows the AMI deployment to be visualized, with status indicators associated with statuses overlaid on a map. The user interface can further facilitate visualization of progress of tasks associated with AMI operations.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for locating utility metering devices. Utility metering devices are those that are lost or stolen and that are facilitating unauthorized utility service access. Many AMI and/or AMR deployments lack the ability to remotely deactivate a meter. Accordingly, embodiments of this disclosure can generate a zone of interest in which an unauthorized utility metering device is located, and the unauthorized utility metering device can be subsequently located within the zone of interest.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for selecting a transformer size for an industrial or commercial facility. A plurality of end-use connected load data for the facility is entered via a user interface into a memory of a computing system for determining facility load diversities. A base homogeneity is determined for the end-use connected load data. An initial facility diversity is determined based on the end-use connected loads and initial end-use diversities. A total facility diversity is determined based on the initial facility diversity, the base homogeneity, and a total connected load. An expected energy demand is determined based on the total facility diversity and a total connected load. The end-use diversity is adjusted for at least one end-use and a change in expected energy demand for the facility is allocated to each end-use. The transformer size is determined for a total expected energy demand and a total hours use for each connected load.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for dynamically routing query request messages to a database server resident on a computing system. A configurable port proxy service is created on the database server that listens on a particular port for query request messages. An administrator port is implemented on the database server that communicates with the port proxy service. The configurable port proxy service is pinged by a traffic manager application operating on the computing system to determine if a database server instance is available to send database traffic. Query requests are routed to the database server instance if the database server instance is available to accept query request messages. Each administrator command from a port console application is serialized to a configuration file as it issues that will return the port proxy service to a previous state if the database server fails.

Abstract translation: 一种用于将查询请求消息动态地路由到驻留在计算系统上的数据库服务器的方法，系统和计算机程序产品。 在数据库服务器上创建可配置的端口代理服务器，该服务器在特定端口上侦听查询请求消息。 在与端口代理服务通信的数据库服务器上实现管理员端口。 可配置端口代理服务由在计算系统上运行的流量管理器应用程序进行ping，以确定数据库服务器实例是否可用于发送数据库流量。 如果数据库服务器实例可用于接收查询请求消息，则查询请求将路由到数据库服务器实例。 来自端口控制台应用程序的每个管理员命令将被序列化为配置文件，因为它会发生这种情况，如果数据库服务器发生故障，端口代理服务将返回到先前的状态。

Abstract: An improved three-component velocity probe for use in measuring velocity of non-uniform gas flows. Specifically, a new probe geometry enables characterization of a flow in three dimensions in large scale applications. The three-component gas flow velocity probe is a cylinder having three equally spaced sensing ports located on the cylindrical surface in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder and having two recesses in the cylinder transverse of the length of the cylinder. The recesses are on the opposite sides of the three sensing ports and equally spaced from the sensing ports. The five sensing ports are connected to pressure sensing means remote from the probe to determine the gas flow velocity.
