Patent number: 9021044Abstract: A system for monitoring or controlling conditions or apparatuses in a home, business or other suitable place is provided. The system includes a first master module that is operative to communicate with a device over an Internet network. The system further includes a server that is operatively connected to the device and the first master module. The server is operative to allow communication between the first master module and the device. The system also includes a first slave module operatively connected to the first master module. The first master module is operative to direct data between the first slave module and the server. The first slave module is operative to establish communication with the first master module through a plug and play connection. The device is operative to allow at least one of controlling and monitoring the first slave module through the server and the first master module.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Inventors: David Tayvel Blustein, Stylianos Derventzis, David Mauro Guido, Mike Liwak

Patent number: 8624203Abstract: A sterilizing system for sterilizing a continuous loop conveyor belt of a conveyor system is provided. The conveyor system includes a drive operatively connected to the conveyor belt and operative to move the belt between upper and lower flight paths. The upper flight path includes an exposed surface for receiving items. The sterilizing system includes a housing that is configured to at least partially cover the lower flight path. An ultraviolet light source is positioned in the interior of the housing. The light source is operative to emit ultraviolet light on the belt at the lower flight path to sanitize the belt.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2012Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: JLT & Associates, Inc.Inventors: Joe Tullo, Grant Jeffery Caven, Paul Jeffery Payne, Stylianos Derventzis

Patent number: 6665460Abstract: A selector assembly to select and deselect signal components from optical signals is disclosed. The selector assembly has an input optical connector for optically connecting an input optical signal carrier to the selector assembly and an output optical connector for optically connecting the selector assembly to an output optical signal carrier. A signal demultiplexer is operatively positioned relative to the input optical connector so that optical signals passing into the selector assembly are demultiplexed by the demultiplexer into signal components, each signal component having a respective signal component beam path. A signal selector is provided in each of the signal component beam paths, each signal selector being switchable by the application of an electric field between at least a selecting state and a deselecting state such that each of the signal components may be either selected or deselected.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2002Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: Photonami Inc.Inventors: Stylianos Derventzis, Steve Hill, Blaine Hobson, Ali Langari, Mike Liwak, Robert B.

Publication number: 20020159678Abstract: An optical switch for routing optical signals is disclosed. The optical switch has an optical signal path for routing said optical signals between at least a first port and at least a second port, wherein said optical signal path is divided into two portions with one portion being defined by at least two switch expansion modules; and the other portion being defined by a distribution backplane for operatively connecting the switch expansion modules together. An optical switching network is also disclosed having optical signal paths which intersect in at least two switch nodes, the network having at least two switches for switching optical signals, wherein one of the switches is located at each of the switch nodes and each of the switches includes at least two switch expansion modules and an optical backplane for connecting the switch expansion modules together.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2002Publication date: October 31, 2002Applicant: Photonami Inc.Inventors: Stylianos Derventzis, Steve Hill, Blaine Hobson, Ali Langari, Mike Liwak, Robert B.

Publication number: 20020080446Abstract: A method and apparatus for switching DWDM optical signals through N switch ports. The optical switch includes N bidirectional signal processors including at least one associated with each of said N switch ports. The signal processors split and combine optical signals so that an optical signal passing in one direction through any one of the bidirectional signal processors is split into K parallel optical signals. One or more optical signals passing through any one of the bidirectional signals in the other direction are emitting as a single optical signal. The splitting direction is oriented into the switch. At least K signal delivery matrices are provided each signal delivery matrix having N matrix ports and broadcasting one of said K optical signals from any one of said N matrix ports to all other of said matrix ports.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2001Publication date: June 27, 2002Inventors: Stylianos Derventzis, Steve Hill, Blaine Hobson, Ali Langari, Mike Liwak, Robert B.
