Publication number: 20200401088Abstract: A controlling and monitoring control application associated with one or more work operations of one or more utility devices is disclosed. The controller is programmed for controlling one or more external work operations associated with one or more utility devices. An I/O board is connected in communication with the primary controller having a module with a plurality of device-specific control applications associated with one or more device-specific work operations. The housing of the controller includes one or more cable access points for plugging a cable into the controller. The cable access points are sealed to prevent water from entering into the housing. A mounting bracket assembly provides flexibility for mounting the controller at various orientations and/or positions. The controller also includes a DC control circuit for controlling backlight luminance over the entire dimming ratio.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: CHRISTOPHER D. DILLER, LOUIS M. HOLZMAN, RONALD B. HOWES, STEPHEN X. SKAFF, QUANG V. DAO, CHRISTOPHER A. BUCK, BRIAN PHILIP CARLSON, RYAN A. CHERNIK, ARON D. DAHLGREN, WESLEY M. NELSON

Patent number: 10636163Abstract: Techniques for analyzing images of pests using a mobile device application are described. A mobile computing device may receive, via a graphical user interface (GUI), location information input corresponding to a location of a glueboard, an identification input of a pest type caught on the glueboard, and an image of the glueboard. The device may analyze white and dark areas of the image to determine at least one of: 1) total dark surface area of the glueboard and 2) number and size of multiple contiguous dark surface areas of the glueboard. The device may calculate a quantity of pests based on dark surface area and an average size of the pest. The device may output the quantity of pests to the GUI.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Jared R. Freudenberg, Christopher D. Diller, Kevin S. Smyth
