    摘要: A digital controller controls contingency discharges of a utility from a reservoir to a plant during a first time period and compensatory charges from the plant back to the reservoir during a second time period. The utility can be electric power. The plant and reservoir are connected by a grid. The reservoir may be any electric power storage device. When the utility is electric power, the contingency discharges make up for the power not generated by the plant due to an accident. The compensatory charges replenish the reservoir. The digital controller may use a sectionally linear transfer function with a maximum to control the compensatory charges based on the contingency discharges. The transfer function may be balanced using a trim function so that on average, the compensatory charges will make up for the contingency discharges.

    摘要: A statistical facility event monitor has a computer implemented event percentile meter. The event percentile meter counts the number of randomly initiated events that cause a monitored facility to consume a monitored utility over a monitored time period. The event percentile meter then calculates a cumulative distribution function for the randomly initiated events. The event percentile meter uses the cumulative distribution to determine the event percentile for the monitored facility. The event percentile meter then outputs the event percentile.

    摘要: A digital controller controls discharges of a utility from a reservoir to a plant during a first time period and recharges of said utility from the plant back to the reservoir during a second time period. The reservoir can be any storage device. When the utility is electric power, the discharges make up for the power not generated by the plant due to an accident. The digital controller may use a balanced nonlinear transfer function to control the recharges based on the discharges. If there is a long duration discharge that extends beyond the end of the first time period, the digital controller may use a Monte Carlo simulation along with a tail distribution for the long duration discharge and the balanced transfer function to forecast the recharge required during the second time period.

    摘要: A computer-implemented semantic analysis system for ranking search results has instructions including the steps: receive a query about a first document authored by a person; read in data identifying the first document; read in a second document about the person authored after the first document; identify indicator terms in the second document related to whether or not there is a significant discrepancy between the second document and the first document; read in weighting factors for the identified indicator terms; determine an aggregate weighting factor that decreases with an increasing number of indicator terms found; and calculate a score of how much of a discrepancy there is between the second document and the first document using the weighting factors. When multiple first documents are returned for multiple persons, present the links in order from high score to low score.

    摘要: A statistical facility monitor has a consumption percentile meter. The consumption percentile meter reads in utility consumption data from a monitored facility over a period of time. The consumption percentile meter then reads in a cumulative distribution of consumption percentile versus normalized utility consumption for similar reference facilities. The cumulative distribution is based on other facilities in the same facility class as the monitored facility. The consumption percentile meter uses the cumulative distribution to determine the consumption percentile for the monitored facility relative to the reference facilities. The meter then outputs the consumption percentile.
