  • Demand control ventilation sensor failure
    Patent number: 8066558
    Abstract: Demand ventilation protocols can address the issue of sensor failure while still providing desirable levels of energy conservation. An occupancy indicator such as a sensor can be monitored. If the sensor reading is determined to be incorrect, unexpected or otherwise erroneous, the ventilation system can provide an amount of fresh air sufficient for adequate ventilation without over-ventilating the building.

  • Hardwired alarm system with power-on sequence
    Patent number: 7825817
    Abstract: A sensor and alarm system having a power-on sequence. The system has a power supply permanently-like connected to a power line of a facility. There may be a power interrupt to the power supply, which may initiate a power-on sequence of alarms. The sequence of alarms may indicate whether the system is wired properly and operating normally. If the sequence does not occur in a pattern as expected, then there may be a problem with the system. Also, the sensor portion of the system may set off an alarm pattern if a sensed gas has a concentration greater than a first magnitude. The system may set off another alarm pattern if a sensed gas has a concentration greater than a second magnitude. If a sensing element of the sensor portion goes out of calibration, then the system may set off still another alarm pattern.
