20100140365 | Communication Powered Building Automation System Actuator - An actuator includes at least one drive arrangement configured to generate output mechanical power from input electrical power. The actuator also includes a communication line input port and a control unit. The communication line input port is configured to connect to a communication line, and is configured to obtain electrical power from the communication line. The control unit is configured to obtain first information from the communication line via the communication line input port, and is further configured to adjust the operation of the at least one drive arrangement based on the first information and based upon information identifying electrical power available for use as input electrical power. | 06-10-2010 |
20100020849 | Method To Accurately Read Temperature For A Room Sensor Apparatus - A temperature sensing device enclosed in a housing having at least one thermally isolative wall and machined slot for isolating the temperature sensing device to ensure accurate reading of ambient temperature in room. | 01-28-2010 |
20090251329 | Use of OLED Technology in HVAC Sensors - An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel for a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) sensor used for building automation controls. The OLED display will transmit information to the building occupant relating to heating ventilation and air conditioning outputs. | 10-08-2009 |
20090059602 | Directional evacuation lights - A directional evacuation lighting apparatus used during an emergency evacuation situation for a building where an emergency sign with direction is projected on the floor to help direct and locate closest safety exit. | 03-05-2009 |
20080282944 | COOLING SYSTEM FOR CARPET/WOOD ASH - A method and system transfer, cool, store, and load an ash waste product of a gasification process. Hot ash is moved toward a storage silo via one or more augers and/or conveyors. Ash may be sent through a means for reducing the size of any ash chucks, such as roller crushers. The ash may be transferred via a first auger affixed with a glycol/water indirect cooling means. The ash may then be transferred to a second auger, also having a glycol/water indirect cooling means, but further being operable to blanket the ash with an inert gas, such as slightly pressurized nitrogen. Then, the ash may be transferred to a storage silo via a continuous flow bucket conveyor. The silo and conveyor may be operable to maintain the ash blanketed with inert gas. Subsequently, the ash may be unloaded from the silo, such as into a vehicle, via a retractable spout. | 11-20-2008 |
20080198036 | METHOD AND APARATUS TO OPTIMIZE POWER TO MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE OF WIRELESS MESH SENSORS AND CONTROL NETWORKS - An automation component configured for optimized wireless communication within a building automation system is disclosed. The automation component includes a wireless communications component, a processor in communication with the wireless communications component, a memory in communication with the processor, the memory configured to store computer readable instructions which are executable by the processor. The computer readable instructions being programmed to process at least one communication variable received via the wireless communications component; to optimize a communication or radio transmit power level associated with the wireless communication component, wherein the optimized communication power level is a function of the at least one communication variable; and an adjustment of the communication power level associated with the wireless communication component based on the optimized communication power level. | 08-21-2008 |
