`Accused Products
`The Accused Products are used to manage an electric power flow within an electric power grid. The
`Accused Products manage power flow within an electric power grid, for example by controlling the
`flow of electric power to power consuming devices (e.g., heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
`(“HVAC”) units, air conditioning (“A/C”) units, furnaces, boilers, pool pumps, hot water heaters, etc.)
`in conjunction with demand response programs for reducing power consumption.
