Patent number: 10997324Abstract: Multiple modules are installed, with each module installed in one of multiple outlets to be mapped. A probe is triggered to propagate a signal that provides circuit information at one of multiple circuit interrupts, where the signal is detectable by any of the modules connected by a single circuit to the one circuit interrupt from which the signal is propagated. The circuit information is retrieved from any of the modules that detected the signal as an indication that the modules from which the circuit information is retrieved are connected to the single circuit.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeffrey A. Calcaterra, Humberto Gutierrez-Rivas, Steven M. Miller

Patent number: 10055515Abstract: A probe is adapted to send a signal over a selected circuit and to provide circuit information. One or more modules have a connector for electrically connecting to an outlet, logic interconnected with the connector for detecting the signal and receiving the circuit information, and an indicator interconnected with the logic for presenting the circuit information in response to the signal. A computer is operably associated with the probe and configured to execute a program of instructions to provide a breaker box representation and an electronic record of one or more rooms showing outlet symbols that identify the location of outlets. The computer is configured to execute the program of instructions to collect the circuit information from the one or more modules and to associate the circuit information with a corresponding breaker on the breaker box representation and on outlet symbols on the electronic record of one or more rooms.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jeffrey A.

Patent number: 9552446Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product are provided for mapping electrical circuits. A user provides an electronic record of one or more rooms with outlets to be mapped and installs a module in each outlet to be mapped. Using an interactive program, the user prepares a diagram of a circuit box. The user triggers a probe to propagate a signal detectable by said modules over a circuit and to provide circuit information. The user retrieves the circuit information from the modules. Then, the interactive program associates the circuit information from each module with a corresponding outlet on said electronic record of one or more rooms.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2008Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jeffrey Alan Calcaterra, Steven Michael Miller, Humberto Gutierrez-Rivas
