Patent number: 8898026Abstract: A light performance monitoring device and optionally integrated controller includes a monitor module that directly monitors energy usage of at least one energy load to generate at least one measurement of energy usage; a storage module stores a series of baseline values of energy usage of the energy load, a comparator module compares energy measurements made at predetermined intervals with the baseline values, and a notification module notifies a designated recipient that there is a deviation from the baseline values consistent with a burned out or non-operational light fixture, including but not limited to light bulbs or ballast devices. A control module optionally integrated with the light performance monitoring device can be operatively coupled to the monitor module to control energy usage by the at least one energy load via a data link in a predetermined manner that is based on the at least one measurement of energy usage.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2009Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Admmicro Properties, L.L.C.Inventors: Donald W. Howell, Mark W. Vinson, Frank O. Blevins, Armand J. Tamagni, Jr., Michael L. Campbell

Patent number: 7598724Abstract: A current transformer assembly includes at least one Rogowski coil having a first closeable loop with an electrically conductive coil member and a first pair of terminals. An integrator unit has respectively a cable connected across the first pair of terminals of a respective Rogowski coil. Each respective Rogowski coil provides an output voltage received by the integrator assembly caused by when a respective electrical conductor on a phase of a multiphase circuit is arranged within an opening of the closeable first loop of the respective Rogowski coil, and provides an output signal proportional to a current in a conductor arranged in an opening of a Rogowski coil. At least one of the Rogowski coils includes an inline calibration unit for fast calibration and recalibration when retrofitting a monitor module that monitors a value of the current in one or more conductors.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2008Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Admmicro Properties, LLCInventors: Donald W. Howell, Samuel A. Taylor, Danny K. Dyess, Frank O. Blevins, Mark W. Vinson
