| 20090273433 | METHOD OF AUTOMATICALLY PROGRAMMING A NEW BALLAST ON A DIGITAL BALLAST COMMUNICATION LINK - A method for replacing a previously-installed lighting control device with a newly-installed lighting control device in a lighting control system provides for automatic programming of the newly-installed device if there is only one newly-installed device in the system. The system comprises a controller interconnected to the newly-installed device by a communication link. The controller stores a short address and configuration information of the previously-installed device in memory and assigns the short address of the previously-installed device to the newly-installed device. The controller is operable to transmit the configuration information associated with the previously-installed device to the newly-installed device in response to determining that there is only one newly-installed device in the system. The controller is operable to undo the completed address assignment by unassigning the short address from the newly-installed device if there is more than one newly-installed device in the system. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090309692 | METHOD FOR PARAMETERIZING A PROCESS AUTOMATION FIELD DEVICE BY SIMULATING THE ACYCLIC SERVICES - In a method for parametering a field device of process automation technology, wherein the field device is connected via a bus system with a control unit, parameter values are packaged in telegrams of cyclic services and transmitted to the field device whose parameter values are to be changed. No acyclic services are required for changing parameter values. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20120019351 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING COMPUTER SERVERS AND NETWORK APPLIANCES - A sensor board includes at least one sensor in communication with a controller having a single board address to facilitate sensor polling by standard, product-independent modules of a circuit board for a computer server or network appliance. Miniature low-cost sensor boards can be placed in multiple locations on circuit boards without the necessity of being specified and integrated into the circuit board during the design phase to reduce or eliminate associated design risks or delays. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120062356 | ANTENNA DEVICE, PARTICULARLY FOR A MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM, HAVING A PLURALITY OF ASSOCIATED FUNCTIONAL UNITS - The invention relates to an improved antenna device, characterized by the following additional features: that each functional unit ( | 03-15-2012 |
| 20150145640 | WIRELESS MONITORING METHOD AND DEVICE THEREOF - A wireless monitoring method is implemented through a plurality of wireless monitor devices. Each of the plurality of wireless monitor devices includes a state detection unit to produce a state data, a micro control unit and a communication module. To implement the wireless monitoring method, the wireless monitoring device gets a device identification code of another wireless monitoring device in a connection range thereof, and judges whether the device identification code is stored therein and belongs to a monitor group. If the judging outcome is positive, the wireless monitoring device gets another state data of the another wireless monitoring device. After judging the state data and the another state data meet a state control condition, at least one control signal is output to trigger at least one electronic device. | 05-28-2015 |

| 20090160603 | LOCATING RFID TAGS - A method and RFID tag for locating RFID tags. A passive RFID tag A receives a polling command transmitted from a RFID reader and addressed to another passive RFID tag B. The RFID tag A determines that the polling command is not addressed to the RFID tag A and consequently, at time t | 06-25-2009 |
| 20110032070 | WIRELESS SWITCHING AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT - A wireless switching apparatus is provided for three-way switching at least one energy load with an AC power source. The apparatus comprises a relay controlled by a controller. The controller is also connected to both a toggle and a wireless transceiver. A remote wireless transceiver unit is in communication with the wireless transceiver. The controller operates the relay for making and breaking electrical continuity between the energy load and an AC power source in response to a change in the state of either toggle or wireless signals received from the remote wireless transmitting unit. Control of the energy load using a combined system comprising an energy monitoring device operatively coupled to the apparatus is also provided. Methods are provided for retrofitting conventional receptacles and switches with the wireless switching apparatus. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20130027176 | COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL FOR A LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM - A communication protocol for a lighting control system having a plurality of control devices coupled to a communication link uses a polling technique to coordinate the transmission of digital messages between the control devices. When the control devices are powered up, one of the control devices is established as a “master” device. During normal operation, the master device transmits a standard poll message to each of the control devices in succession using a unique semi-permanent Poll ID for each of the control devices. The master device periodically transmits a Poll-ID-Request poll message to the control devices allow those devices that do not have a Poll ID to request a Poll ID. If a control device determines either that the master device is not transmitting poll messages to it, or that another control device has the same Poll ID, the control device drops its Poll ID and acquires another Poll ID. | 01-31-2013 |
