Patent number: 7405652Abstract: A system for bidirectional data and power transmission is shown and described. In an embodiment, a network power controller provides power to a node and communicates bidirectionally with the node. In an embodiment, the network power controller is coupled to an AC power source and provides both AC and DC power to the node. In an embodiment, the network power controller and node are coupled via a conduit comprising three wires, wherein the first wire carries DC power and communications, the second wire carries AC power, and the third wire is the neutral/ground line. In another embodiment, the network power controller and node are coupled via a conduit comprising two wires, wherein the first wire carries AC power and communications and the second wire is the neutral/ground line. In an embodiment, AC power having one phase or more can be controlled at the network power controller and the node.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2005Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: Abet Technologies, LLCInventors: James M. Hair, III, Daniel L. Greene

Patent number: 7015798Abstract: A method and system for bidirectional data and power transmission are shown and described. An exemplary embodiment comprises a current receiver, including a microprocessor and a driver, and a plurality of nodes connected to the current receiver through a plurality of wires that allow both power supply and bidirectional data transfer between the current receiver and the plurality of nodes. The use of the plurality of wires for both power and data transmission offers significant advantages over the prior art in terms of weight reduction and system modularity.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2005Date of Patent: March 21, 2006Assignee: Abet Technologies, LLCInventors: James M. Hair, III, Daniel L. Greene

Publication number: 20060046766Abstract: A system for bidirectional data and power transmission are shown and described. In an embodiment, the system includes a network power controller that protects the network against over-current conditions by disconnecting system power when high current is detected at the power input. In an embodiment, power and data are transmitted between the network power controller and nodes on the network via a conduit having at least three wires. In an embodiment, an optical fiber is used to transmit data between the network power controller and the nodes. The use of a third wire or an optical fiber offers advantages over other systems for bidirectional data and power transmission in that they reduce the EMI effects on the system and allow for an increased duty cycle for power transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2005Publication date: March 2, 2006Applicant: Abet Technologies, LLCInventors: James Hair, Daniel Greene
