Patent number: 11747033Abstract: The wireless wall thermostat utilizes a push-contact mechanical system that allows a user to raise or lower the temperature within a space by applying a force on the top or bottom center of the front of the thermostat. The perpendicular force applied by the user generates a moment arm around pivot connectors, which rotates the thermostat clockwise or counter-clockwise. When rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise, contact buttons attached to the back of the thermostat come into contact with the trigger tabs of a stationary trigger plate mounted to a wall through use of an electromagnetic attraction between a steel disc and a magnet. When the trigger tabs press the contact buttons, the contact buttons send a signal to the central processing unit of the thermostat's internal circuit board to modulate the temperature setting. In addition, the wireless wall thermostat can be detachable by utilizing a magnetic release smart mount.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Orison, Inc.Inventors: Eric Douglass Clifton, Adrian Chernoff

Patent number: 11726147Abstract: A system for detecting current magnitudes in a circuit breaker panel includes multiple 3-sensor magnometers placed over the main breaker and branch circuits in the circuit breaker enclosure. The sensors communicate with a local processing node, which analyzes the raw data to compensate for external and local interference, and provides an estimated current measurement. The estimated current measurement is then communicated back to a user system which can then use the information to better manage current input and output.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Orison, Inc.Inventors: Eric Douglass Clifton, Marc Berte

Patent number: 11715956Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to energy storage and supply management system. The system may include one or more of a control unit, which is in communication with the power grid, and an energy storage unit that stores power for use at a later time. The system may be used with traditional utility provided power as well as locally generated solar, wind, and any other types of power generation technology. In some embodiments, the energy storage unit and the control unit are housed in the same chassis. In other embodiments, the energy storage unit and the control unit are separate. In another embodiment, the energy storage unit is integrated into the chassis of an appliance itself.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Orison, Inc.Inventor: Eric Douglass Clifton
