An appliance operation signal processing system comprises: an input for receiving an appliance operation signal, the appliance operation signal comprising information relating to operation of an appliance; an output for outputting information relating to a recall status of the appliance; and a processor configured to: monitor an input appliance operation signal for a change in magnitude; if a change is detected: identify a component event corresponding to the change; determine whether the component event is a designated sequence start component event; if the component event is determined to be a designated sequence start component event: extract one or more features from the input appliance operation signal between the sequence start component event and a sequence stop point; determine information relating to a recall status of the appliance by inputting the one or more features into a first algorithm.

Embodiments of the invention relate to a control system of a first entity. The control system has a forecast module that creates a supply medium plan of a supply medium unit of the first entity. The supply medium unit is a supply medium consumer, a supply medium producer, and/or supply medium storage. The supply medium unit connects to a physical supply channel network. A peer-to-peer module receives at least one supply medium offer message of a further entity by communicating with a peer-to-peer application of a peer-to-peer network. The peer-to-peer module causes generation of a supply medium transaction agreement about the physical exchange of a supply medium between the first and further entity through the peer-to-peer application based on the supply medium plan and the supply medium offer message. A controlling module controls the supply medium unit in dependence of the generated supply medium transaction agreement.

Some embodiments include an electric meter assembly including a socket housing with a socket interface extending from a top side of the socket housing, and a removable or portable meter coupled to the socket interface. Further, the electric meter assembly includes at a strap coupled at one end to at least one side of the socket housing. The strap is configured and arranged to extend over at least a portion of the meter from one side of the socket to an opposite side of the socket. Some further embodiments include an electric meter assembly with a support platform including a coupled transformer and socket housing. The socket housing includes a socket interface extending from a top side of the socket housing, and a secondary housing enclosed within the socket housing. The secondary housing includes a CT shunt and a switch assembly including an actuator extending through the top side.
