Patent number: 8335936Abstract: A power node provides energy management and network expansion features in a networked data communications and control environment that may be utilized in an energy management system implementing a method of managing energy. Network expansion may be provided by integrating a networking bridge from a power line network to one or more wired network ports or a wireless network. The power outlet on the power node providing power to a device may be identified and associated with information about the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2011Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Greenwave Reality, Pte Ltd.Inventors: Karl Jonsson, William Diehl, Timothy Lyons, Martin Manniche, Sonny Windstrup

Patent number: 8314571Abstract: Color temperature of a lighting apparatus that includes a first LED that emits a white light with a first color temperature and a second LED that emits a white light with a second color temperature is managed. The two LEDs are connected in parallel anode to cathode so that current flowing in one direction turns on the first LED and current flowing in the opposite direction turns on the second LED. A controller manages a duty cycle of an alternating current flowing through the two LEDs to control the color temperature and/or the brightness of the lighting apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2011Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Greenwave Reality, PTE, Ltd.Inventor: Karl Jonsson

Patent number: 8306639Abstract: A networked device is disclosed comprising means for controlling a state of the networked device, means for connecting to a network, means for allowing a user to select a color from a plurality of colors, the plurality of colors having at least one locking color and one or more non-locking colors, and means for generating a selected color code corresponding to the color selected by the user, each color of the plurality of colors having a corresponding color code. The networked device submits the selected color code over the network for use by the network controller in configuring the device and changes the state of the networked device in response to a command from the network only if the color selected by the user is one of the one or more non-locking colors. In some embodiments the networked device also responds to requests for status information from the network independent of the color selected by the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Greenwave Reality, Pte, Ltd.Inventors: William Diehl, Sonny Windstrup, Karl Jonsson

Patent number: 8013545Abstract: Various methods of manufacturing a lighting apparatus and embodiments of a modular networked lighting apparatus are disclosed. One method defines a mechanical form factor with a minimum set of electrical connections for a networking module, builds a subassembly of the networked lighting apparatus, the subassembly comprising attachment points compatible with the mechanical form factor for the networking module and contacts for the minimum set of electrical connections for the networking module, installs a networking module into the subassembly of the networked lighting apparatus, the networking module compatible with a selected networking protocol for the networked lighting apparatus, completes the final assembly of the networked lighting module, and marks the networked lighting apparatus to indicate the selected networking protocol for the networked lighting apparatus. In some embodiments, the lighting apparatus may function without the networking module installed.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Greenwave Reality, PTE, Ltd.Inventor: Karl Jonsson

Patent number: 7756497Abstract: The present invention utilizes station preset buttons on a radio frequency receiver to allow the user to browse through the various subchannels included in a single station or channel. The preset buttons still have the standard function of having a frequency and subchannel selection parameter associated with the button that can be used to directly select that subchannel. But subsequent presses of the button may change the currently playing program to a different program contained in the same station or channel using a circular queue ordering.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Radiosophy, LLCInventors: Richard A Skeie, Bruce A Young
