Patent number: 9136708Abstract: A system and method for the transport and distribution of both AC (alternating current) power and DC (direct current) power over wiring infrastructure normally used for distributing AC power only, for example, residential and/or commercial buildings' electrical wires is disclosed and taught. The system and method permits the combining of AC and DC power sources and the simultaneous distribution of the resulting power over the same wiring. At the utilization site a complementary device permits the separation of the DC power from the AC power and their reconstruction, for use in conventional AC-only and DC-only devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2012Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Alliance For Sustainable Energy, LLCInventor: Luigi Gentile Polese

Patent number: 9036866Abstract: An image-based occupancy sensor includes a motion detection module that receives and processes an image signal to generate a motion detection signal, a people detection module that receives the image signal and processes the image signal to generate a people detection signal, a face detection module that receives the image signal and processes the image signal to generate a face detection signal, and a sensor integration module that receives the motion detection signal from the motion detection module, receives the people detection signal from the people detection module, receives the face detection signal from the face detection module, and generates an occupancy signal using the motion detection signal, the people detection signal, and the face detection signal, with the occupancy signal indicating vacancy or occupancy, with an occupancy indication specifying that one or more people are detected within the monitored volume.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLCInventors: Luigi Gentile Polese, Larry Brackney

Patent number: 8462637Abstract: In one configuration, the present invention is directed to an enterprise network that includes geographically dislocated first and second network regions communicating with one another through first and second networks and respectively comprising first and second gateways and first and second groupings of trunks. A media server is positioned in the first network region that includes a routing agent. When a WAN outage occurs, the routing agent, using a dial plan, maps the dialed digits to an electronic address addressable over the PSTN and routes the call over the PSTN to the destination second communication device in the second network region.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2005Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Sheridan Ross P.C.Inventors: Christopher David Baldwin, Neil Ellis Gallensky, Donald E. Gillespie, Michael Gruen, Alan Stuart Mulberg, Luigi Gentile Polese

Patent number: 8311207Abstract: A distributed call control system is provided that can allot bandwidth amongst several call controllers. The distributed call control system includes one or more servers that execute two or more instances of call processing servers that administer call control. The call processing servers form a cluster or group. The cluster members negotiate and determine bandwidth allocation amongst the members. If a member requires more bandwidth, the call processing server, of that member, assesses its own needs and requests more bandwidth from other members. The negotiation and requests for bandwidth are accomplished with a set of dynamic and static bandwidth data that regiment the control of the bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Luigi Gentile Polese, Kurt H. Haserodt, Kenneth Owen Michie, Chandra Ravipati, Scott M Woods

Patent number: 7457249Abstract: In one configuration, an enterprise network is provided that includes geographically dislocated first and second network regions 202 and 206, the first and second network regions being in communication with one another through first and second networks 252 and 248 and respectively comprising first and second gateways 220 and 224 and first and second groupings of links connected to the second network 248. A common electronic address is associated with the second grouping of links. In response to a request from a first subscriber to initiate a communication session with a second subscriber in the other network region, a media server 200 determines that the first network 252 is currently incapable of supporting the bearer channel for the session. In response, the first gateway 220 transmits the common electronic address to the second gateway 224.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2005Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Avaya, Inc.Inventors: Christopher David Baldwin, David A. Bernardini, David L. Chavez, Luigi Gentile-Polese, Albert D. Pessot, Rod Roehrich, Karen Dorato
