Abstract: a contactless electric power transmission system includes an electric power reception device and a control device. the electric power reception device receives electric power transmitted in a contactless manner between the electric power reception device and an electric power transmission device. the control device sets, in a coupling zone in which a coupling degree between a primary side coil of the electric power transmission device and a secondary side coil of the electric power reception device is equal to or more than a predetermined degree, a communication zone in which the coupling degree is relatively small, and an electric power transmission zone in which the coupling degree is relatively large. the control device transmits information relating to electric power transmission in the electric power transmission zone from the electric power reception device to the electric power transmission device by communication between the electric power transmission device and the electric power reception device when the secondary side coil is present in a foremost communication zone of the coupling zone.

Abstract: according to one aspect, a system for resource management may perform receiving a total resource request, a vector of two or more maximum available resources associated with two or more corresponding resource providers, and a number of resource providers and calculating an individual resource request for each of the two or more resource providers based on a classification number. any resource provider having a maximum available resource less than or equal to the classification number may be assigned an individual resource request equal to their corresponding maximum available resource.

Abstract: according to one aspect, a system for resource management may perform receiving a total resource request, a vector of two or more maximum available resources associated with two or more corresponding resource providers, and a number of resource providers and calculating an individual resource request for each of the two or more resource providers by iteratively comparing the vector of two or more maximum available resources with a vector of a current average resource residual, taking a minimum between those vectors as a running tally for the individual resource requests, and recalculating the current average resource residual.
