    摘要: A method for performing utility consumption disaggregation includes measuring a total utility consumption of a consumer during a specified time period, generating a first disaggregated utility consumption segment and a second disaggregated utility consumption segment, based on the total utility consumption of the consumer, and providing the consumer with disaggregated utility consumption statistics based on at least one of the first and second disaggregated utility consumption segments.

    摘要: An embodiment of the invention is a method of accurately determining the spatial location of an RFID tag in two-dimensions or three-dimensions. The method utilizes a plurality of RFID readers to make a plurality of distance, direction, and or time-of-flight determinations. Such determinations are made by sending a request signal from one of the plurality of RFID readers and listening for a response signal from an RFID tag received at each of the plurality of RFID readers. Correction factors are then determined and the time-of-flight factors adjusted. The adjusted time-of-flight factors are then used to determine more accurately the distances between the RFID tag and each of the plurality of RFID readers. These more accurate distance measurements are then used to determine the spatial location of the RFID tag.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for suggesting/recommending migration of an IT environment to a cloud computing infrastructure. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, historical incident data of an information technology (IT) environment is analyzed. Based on the historical incident data, it may be determined whether a problem is recurring in the IT environment. If so, it may then be determined whether the problem can be mitigated in the cloud computing infrastructure. For example, it may be determined whether the cost of mitigating the problem by migrating to the cloud computing infrastructure is less than the cost of loss due to the problem within the current IT environment. A report particular to the IT environment that identifies a benefit of migrating the IT environment to the cloud computing infrastructure may be generated.
