摘要： Methods and apparatuses may be provided for managing peak loads for a customer location. The methods and apparatuses may include receiving an allocation request from at least a first home device of the one or more home devices, the allocation request requesting a power allocation amount by the first home device; determining a current remaining power budget amount of a total power budget amount; determining an extent to which the allocation request can be satisfied based at least in part upon a comparison of the requested power allocation amount by the current remaining power budget amount; and delivering a response to the first home device, the response indicating the extent to which the first home device is permitted to access the requested power allocation.

摘要： Systems and methods may be provided for adaptive communications with utility meters based on atmospheric conditions. The systems and methods may include obtaining weather information associated with a location of a utility meter; determining, based upon the weather information, whether the utility meter location is associated with weather that affects communications performance; and modifying an acceptable communications error rate associated with the utility meter or the communications interface of the utility meter from a first value to a second value upon determining that the utility meter location is associated with weather that affects communications performance. One or more of the foregoing operations may be performed by a utility meter or a utility server computer associated with the utility meter.

摘要： The invention provides a low-cost, high-bandwidth file server, which is implemented in a single integrated semiconductor. High-bandwidth is achieved through the use of a shared memory buffer, protocol aware logic, and a modified network stack. The shared memory buffer allows data flow from the network to the storage device without the need of a single copy. The protocol aware logic and modified network stack also greatly improves bandwidth, while decreasing the processor workload. Another improvement allows for a smaller processor that can run at slower clock speeds, and thus requires far less silicon while using far less power than the traditional approach.
