  • Patent number: 11758632
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a multiplicity of luminaries connected to a single wire pair. The luminaries contain minimum circuitry to allow dimming and color tuning by pulses on the wire pair without the need for a separate control wire or control communication bus or network. A single luminary can be color tuned to many different colors as well as dimmed and turned on and off. A driver module drives the wire pair and receives commands over a network The driver module contains a pulse generation circuit that generates and applies pulses to the two-wire output. The amplitude of some the pulses control color of the luminary by selecting different LEDs in the luminary to light, while other pulses control brightness.

  • Publication number: 20220385472
    Abstract: A real or simulated quantum entanglement can also exhibit a very high level of security in secure key exchanges between two or more components or devices. The present invention relates to a mechanism to simulate entanglement of devices using electronic hardware and software in such a way to emulate the real particle entanglement (without the need for all the necessary systems and costs associated with it), using localized blockchain ledger evaluation and authentication.

  • Publication number: 20210190346
    Abstract: A UV air disinfection system customizable for various different types of target pathogens by controlling the duration and intensity of UV exposure. A controller using table lookup adjusts the duration and intensity for a particular air sample at wavelengths proven to deactivate the target pathogen(s). An ambient air sample is brought into a chamber of known volume, and the air is exposed to UV radiation for a duration and intensity specified by a lookup table for the target pathogen(s). This air is then expelled into the room, and another sample is taken. This cyclic operation guarantees a predetermined deactivation percentage of the target pathogen in the expelled air. The process is repeated over and over at a rate designed to disinfect a room in a chosen time.

  • Patent number: 9955544
    Abstract: A system and method that uses a tag-driven network architecture controlled by one or more central controllers. Unique tags are associated with various system components such as remote switches, sensors and other peripherals. A tag is assigned to a node when the node is first entered into the network. A distributed policy creates relationships between tags of various different equipment. The tag typically defines what the policy is for a particular local node. The node executes the policy that is supplied in its tag by accessing a recipe associated with that tag. If a device is not working, other similar devices can take over its task simply by executing the recipe associated with the failed device's tag instead of their own.
