Publication number: 20240111280Abstract: A system may provide a plurality of communication modes to a remote server system and provide remote control and monitoring of the system via two-way communication. The system may communicate with an alarm processor of an alarm system. The system may determine a communication mode to provide communication between the alarm system and the remote server. The system may send status and alarm conditions to the remote server, and the system may send control signals to the alarm system. The remote server may provide a pre-determined response to information received from the alarm system, for example the alarm system may provide alarm system condition information to a user or a monitoring station for response.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Alan Wade COHN, Ronald E. BATTLES, David PROFT, Scott William SHUMATE

Patent number: 11940082Abstract: A pipe insulation product including a core of insulating material and a laminate surrounding the core and bonded to the core. The core may include an outer surface; an inner surface; and a wall extending between the outer and inner surfaces. The laminate may include a foil or metallized polymeric film sheet, a scrim, a porous media sheet, and a polymeric film sheet bonded together via an adhesive. The laminate may include a closure flap that is configured to adhesively seal opposite ends of the laminate together to form a cylindrical tube with the core enclosed therein. The closure flap may be configured to include a curl that provides a greater closure flap adhesive seal.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Johns ManvilleInventors: Monroe William Shumate, Derek Cooper Bristol

Patent number: 11809174Abstract: A communication system is provided that can be added to a legacy alarm system to provide a plurality of communication modes to a remote server system from the legacy alarm system and provide remote control and monitoring to a user of the system via two-way communication links. The communication system can be configured to communicate with an alarm processor of the legacy alarm system through use of a keypad bus typically used by the legacy alarm system for communication between the alarm processor and one or more keypads. Communication modes that can be provided by embodiments of the present invention can include, for example, communication over a public switched telephone network, cellular transmission, broadband transmission, and the like. The communication system can monitor all configured communication modes and determine which communication mode is the best for providing communication between the alarm system and the remote server.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: ICONTROL NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Alan Wade Cohn, Ronald E.

Publication number: 20170301216Abstract: A communications unit is provided that can be coupled to a building's telecommunication wiring to provide an automated mechanism for isolating the building's wiring from a PSTN, while also providing a telecommunications connection to an alternative communications network via, for example, broadband or cellular networks. The communications unit can further be configured to be coupled to an alarm controller unit of a security system, thereby permitting the security system to communicate with a remote server system without loss of alarm data. The communications unit can also be configured to permit the legacy security system to provide normal disconnect functionality of building telephones from an outgoing telecommunications line while an alarm condition is present.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2017Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventors: Alan Wade COHN, Ronald E.
