  • Patent number: 9293918
    Abstract: An electrical control system consisting of two or more electrical transmitting devices each capable of transmitting synchronized messages consisting of electrical pulses to devices connected to one or more of the three phases of the AC power lines in a typical three phase power system. The synchronized transmitters are each connected to neutral and to one or more of the three phases, A, B, and C, or across two of the phases, of different circuit breaker panels in a typical three phase power system, and are capable of transmitting messages to one or more of the three phases. The transmissions from the two or more transmitters are synchronized such that the transmitted pulses from each transmitter are transmitted at the same time to produce a message that can be received correctly at any receiving device connected to any of the connected circuit breaker panels.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8294556
    Abstract: Circuits and methods for transmission of digital data between two or more devices via powerline particularly suited for use in high attenuation, high noise commercial/industrial powerline environments, including transmission of pulses generated by a capacitor charged in the positive half cycle of the sine wave and discharged during the negative half-cycle, placing the pulse at one of two predetermined signal timing positions related to zero voltage crossing points or to previously transmitted pulses so that the pulses are substantially in the powerline temporal quiet zone near zero crossing and so that the powerline voltage at the time of the pulse is additive to the capacitor voltage.
