Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100097226 | OCCUPANCY SENSING WITH IMAGE AND SUPPLEMENTAL SENSING - An occupancy sensing system monitors a space with an image sensor and a supplemental sensor. The occupancy condition of the space is determined in response to information from both the image sensor and the supplemental sensor. An electrical load for the space is controlled in response to the occupancy condition. | 04-22-2010 |
20100237711 | Occupancy Sensing With Device Clock - An occupancy sensing system includes a device clock included in an assembly with a device such as a switching device or an occupancy sensor. The device clock enables time tracking functionality to be combined with occupancy sensing to control lighting and other loads. A display and/or interface may be included to enable a user to a set the time-of-day, day-of-week and program and configure the device clock. | 09-23-2010 |
20110012433 | WIRELESS OCCUPANCY SENSING WITH PORTABLE POWER SWITCHING - A portable switching device may include a wireless receiver to receive a wireless signal from an occupancy sensor, and a power switch to control power to a load in response to the wireless signal. In some embodiments, the wireless signal may include an occupancy signal that indicates the occupied state of a monitored space. In other embodiments, the wireless signal may include a detector signal that requires further processing to determine the occupied state of the space. | 01-20-2011 |
20110090667 | ELECTRICAL COMPONENT ENCLOSURE - A system, including an enclosure and a module, where the module is disposed in the enclosure such that a tab of the enclosure is disposed in a slot of the module; and the module is configured to rotate about the slot. The enclosure can also be configured to receive modular mounting structures. The enclosure can also include multiple panels that create a smaller opening. | 04-21-2011 |
20110115448 | ELECTRICAL SWITCHING MODULE - A module including a case; an electrical switching device configured to control power to a load; and a controller coupled to the electrical switching device. The electrical switching device and the controller are substantially encapsulated by the case. Functionality of the module can be exposed through a communication interface in the case. | 05-19-2011 |
20110115460 | ELECTRICAL SWITCHING MODULE - A module including a case; an electrical switching device configured to control power to a load; and a controller coupled to the electrical switching device. The electrical switching device and the controller are substantially encapsulated by the case. Functionality of the module can be exposed through a communication interface in the case. | 05-19-2011 |
20110118890 | INTELLIGENT METERING DEMAND RESPONSE - A system and method for real-time power management are provided. The system can include one or more lights, one or more light controllers, one or more meters to detect power demand of a building, and a central controller to modify the light output of the lights responsive to the detected power demand. The system can interface with other utility controls to manage the total power demand of the building on a real-time basis. The light controllers can provide individual metering of the lights for use by the central controller. | 05-19-2011 |
20110246977 | CONTROL SYSTEM CODE INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE - A system including multiple control system devices. The control system devices include a processor; a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store code for the control system device; and a communication interface coupled to the processor. A control system device is configured to receive updated code corresponding to at least one of the control system devices, and configured to transmit the updated code to the corresponding at least one of the control system devices. | 10-06-2011 |
20120275085 | ELECTRICAL COMPONENT ENCLOSURE - A system, including an enclosure and a module, where the module is disposed in the enclosure such that a tab of the enclosure is disposed in a slot of the module; and the module is configured to rotate about the slot. The enclosure can also be configured to receive modular mounting structures. The enclosure can also include multiple panels that create a smaller opening. | 11-01-2012 |
20120293013 | WIRELESS OCCUPANCY SENSING WITH PORTABLE POWER SWITCHING - A system may include a wireless receiver to receive a wireless signal from an occupancy sensor and at least one power switch to control power to at least one load in response to the wireless signal, where the wireless receiver and power switch are included in a local switching device, and where the local switching device comprises a power pack having a housing, a power supply to convert high-voltage power to a low-voltage source for operating internal circuitry in the power pack, and switch control logic to implement an unoccupied delay time. | 11-22-2012 |
20130211548 | DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION - A control system including an input component configured to receive an input and generate control information in response to the input; a communication link coupled to the input component; and a plurality of control components, each of the control components coupled to the input component through the communication link and configured to receive the control information and to actuate an associated actuator in response to the control information. | 08-15-2013 |
20130253721 | INTELLIGENT METERING DEMAND RESPONSE - A system and method for real-time power management are provided. The system can include one or more lights, one or more light controllers, one or more meters to detect power demand of a building, and a central controller to modify the light output of the lights responsive to the detected power demand.
