A working fluid is disposed within the solar energy collection assembly, the cooling assembly, the check valve and the fluid pump. A cooling loop is defined by the solar energy collection assembly, the cooling assembly and the check valve. When the fluid pump is off, the working fluid circulates through the cooling loop, but when the fluid pump is on, the working fluid circulates through a heating loop that is defined by the solar energy collection assembly and the fluid pump. | 06-16-2011 |
20110172830 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HYDRONIC SYSTEMS HAVING MULTIPLE SOURCES AND MULTIPLE LOADS - A method and system for designing and controlling a hydronic apparatus. In one aspect of the invention, the system includes a computing device having a first receiver that receives input data, in which the input data includes environmental data and hydronic apparatus data. The computing device also includes a first processor that communicates with the first receiver. The first processor processes the received input data into configuration data that includes a hydronic apparatus layout. The hydronic apparatus layout indicates a plurality of hydronic components and fluid connections between the hydronic components. The computing device also includes a transmitter that transmits the configuration data. The system also includes a controller that has a stored set of rules and a second receiver that receives the configuration data. The controller includes a second processor that processes the received configuration data to correlate the configuration data with the default rules and select a corresponding subset of the set of default rules. | 07-14-2011 |

20140357238 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DYNAMICALLY CHANGING CONTACT INFORMATION - A system and method for dynamically changing contact information is presented. The system and method includes receiving a contact information change associated with a contact in a first contact list, determining that the contact is also in a second contact list and modifying the second contact list based on the contact information change. | 12-04-2014 |
20150016336 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VOIP COMMUNICATION COMPLETION TO A MOBILE DEVICE - Systems and methods for establishing an IP telephone call to a called party's telephony device include attempting to send a call setup request directly to the called party's telephony device, and requesting that a push notification be sent to the called party's telephony device. If the direct request does not reach the called party's telephony device, the push notification will result in the called party's telephony device contacting the IP telephony system to setup the requested call. In some embodiments, the request for a push notification is not sent until the direct request is determined to have failed. | 01-15-2015 |
20150024720 | Remote Testing Through Third Party Devices - A method and system for identifying end-user devices for remote testing are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for identifying end-user devices for remote testing may receiving end-user device profiles from a plurality of end-user devices, receiving a testing plan including device characteristics, comparing the end-user device profiles and testing plan received to produce comparison results, and providing a list of end-user devices and an indication of the comparison results to the remote testing entity. | 01-22-2015 |
20150031341 | METHOD FOR RESPONDING TO PUSH NOTIFICATION BASED COMMUNICATION REQUEST - A method for responding to a push notification after a missed call between a calling party and a called party's mobile device is disclosed. The method includes sending a push notification request directed to the called party's mobile device indicative of a communication. The method then detects that the communication request has failed and enables a dial-back operation to the calling party. | 01-29-2015 |
