Publication number: 20220364695Abstract: Feedback is received from a plurality of devices. External data is also received. Statistical patterns of the plurality of devices are determined based on the feedback. A policy is determined based on the statistical patterns, the feedback, and the external data. The policy may include a set of rules dictating the operation of each of the plurality of devices and reducing energy consumption at the plurality of devices. Control data based on the policy is transmitted to the plurality of devices. The control data may be operative to transform the operation of the plurality of devices according to the set of rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: ASHOK DEEPAK SHAH, DAVID DIEHL ROBERTS, III

Patent number: 9591724Abstract: Managing solid-state luminary (SSL) fixtures over power line carrier (PLC) networks is described herein. Devices provided in this description include SSL arrays, and converter circuitry coupled to drive the SSL arrays. More specifically, the converter circuitry is adapted to convert input voltage received from a power distribution network into a level suitable for driving the SSL arrays. The devices also include (PLC) modems for coupling to PLC networks, and coupled to the converter circuitry. In particular, the PLC modems interface the converter circuitry to the PLC networks.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2013Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: COOPER TECHNOLOGIES COMPANYInventors: Ashok Deepak Shah, David Diehl Roberts, III

Patent number: 9549452Abstract: Technologies are described herein for an illumination device and a corresponding fixture device. The illumination device includes a luminary module for the emission of light and an identification circuit containing identifying data, while the fixture device includes a driver module for supplying power to the illumination device and a controller module. When the illumination device is connected to the fixture device, the controller module communicates with the identification circuit of the illumination device to retrieve the identifying data and causes the driver module to supply the appropriate power to the luminary module of the illumination device.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: COOPER TECHNOLOGIES COMPANYInventors: Ashok Deepak Shah, David Diehl Roberts, III

Patent number: 9155170Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a conductive magnetic coupling system. The system includes a signal supply component that provides electrical and/or data signals to a signal consumption component that utilizes the signal to provide an output. The two components are magnetically coupled together such that the magnetic coupling mechanisms not only provide the bonding mechanism for securing the components to one another, but also provide the electrical and communicative continuity that allows for the transfer of electrical and/or data signals between the two components. Aspects provide for the repositioning of the signal consumption component along any section of a signal supply component configured as a magnetic track system. Aspects further provide for a flexible, fluid impermeable signal supply component in which a signal consumption component is repositionable along its length.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2009Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: COOPER TECHNOLOGIES COMPANYInventors: Ashok Deepak Shah, David Diehl Roberts, III
