An intelligent network demand control system provides a system and method for controlling demand in an energy delivery system. The method includes dividing a predetermined time interval into an Adaptive Modulation and Coding subchannel time interval and a diversity subchannel time interval; selecting any one of the plurality of bands in the AMC subchannel time interval; selecting a predetermined number of bins among the plurality of bins in the selected band; and allocating the selected bins to the AMC subchannel. The adjusted weight values are provided to the ranking engine so as to generate a ranked set of web objects based on such adjusted weight values and their corresponding parameters, as well as a particular query. The support member may form at least one continuous, unbroken path across the rear member.
