  • Patent number: 11985574
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an environment control system for controlling environmental conditions in a building. The environment control system comprises a plurality of sensors located in different areas of the building. Each sensor is used for determining a measured value for one of the environmental conditions in the area where the sensor is located. Further at least one of the plurality of sensors is configured for exchanging data with at least one mobile computing device for modifying a target value of one of the environmental conditions for the area where the sensor is located. The environment control system further comprises an environment controller for receiving the measured values and the modified target values from the plurality of sensors.

  • Publication number: 20210410226
    Abstract: Environment controller and method for controlling an environmental characteristic in an area of a building based on concurrent BLE interactions. The environment controller receives a plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values originating from a plurality of BLE enabled user devices. At least one of the plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values is forwarded from one of the BLE enabled user devices to the environment controller via a BLE enabled proxy device. At least one of the plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values is received by the environment controller directly from one of the BLE enabled user devices. The environment controller applies an algorithm to generate one or more command for controlling at least one controlled appliance based on the plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values.

  • Patent number: 11144019
    Abstract: Environment controller and method for controlling an environmental characteristic in an area of a building based on concurrent BLE requests. The environment controller receives a plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values originating from a plurality of BLE enabled user devices. The plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values is forwarded from the plurality of BLE enabled user devices to the environment controller via one or more BLE proxy device. The environment controller applies an algorithm to generate one or more command for controlling at least one controlled appliance based on the plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values. The environment controller further transmits the one or more command to the at least one controlled appliance. Examples of concurrent environmental characteristic target values include target temperatures, target humidity levels, target CO2 levels, target lightning levels, etc.

  • Patent number: 10703203
    Abstract: A vehicle driveline component having a housing, first and second shafts supported by the housing for rotation about a rotary axis, a two-speed transmission in a power transmission path between the first and second shafts, a shift fork and a failsafe spring. The two-speed transmission has a movable member that is movable along the rotary axis between a high-speed position, in which the two-speed transmission operates in a first gear ratio, and a low-speed position in which the two-speed transmission operates in a second gear ratio that provides a higher speed reduction between the first and second shafts than the first gear ratio. The shift fork is coupled to the movable member for movement therewith along the rotary axis. The failsafe spring is disposed coaxially about the rotary axis and biases the movable member toward the high-speed position.
