Patent number: 11587414Abstract: A geo-locked field device that is situated in a non-moving position and is operable as long as its position, including altitude and direction, is unchanged. If the position of the device is changed or disturbed, then the device will become inoperable. If the position is returned to its former position after being disturbed and rendered inoperable, then the device will continue to be inoperable. Providing a special signal to the device may cause it to become operable.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Giridhar Rajan, Arun Mahasenan, Jitendra Acharya

Patent number: 11355111Abstract: A voice controlled room automation system that includes a speaker device situated in a guest room, a hotel automation controller operatively coupled to one or more components in the guest room, and a web service operatively coupled to the speaker device and the hotel automation controller. The web service is configured to receiving voice commands from the speaker device, process the voice command using speech recognition, interpret the voice command to determine a corresponding command for the hotel automation controller, and transmit the corresponding command to the hotel automation controller. The hotel automation controller is configured to receive the corresponding command from the web service, and to carry out the corresponding command by interacting with one or more of the components in the room. In some cases, the hotel automation controller may be configured to initiate an announcement or query on the speaker device via the web service.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Soumitri Kolavennu, Ryan Gardner, Michael R. Sobanko, Scott Knecht, Arun Mahasenan

Publication number: 20070077941Abstract: Wireless devices, systems and approaches or methods having the capability of determining the location of a given wireless device. An example system includes a wireless device that generates at least one pulse as a part of an output signal, and the at least one pulse is captured by anchor devices and used, in a time of arrival approach, to determine the location of the example device. The at least one pulse may be generated during a designated portion of an otherwise normally modulated message. Another example system includes an anchor node that generates a directional output signal, the direction output signal including data indicating its direction, and the directions of output signals from plural anchor nodes when pointed at a wireless device are used to determine the location of the wireless device. Combinations of the pulse and directional antenna systems, devices used within each of these systems, and approaches associated with these systems are also included.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2005Publication date: April 5, 2007Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Patrick Gonia, Vinayak Kore, Arun Mahasenan

Publication number: 20060290473Abstract: A system tracks assets using RFID tags. A plurality of RFID readers use different frequencies to read RFID tags. A plurality of assets each have a RFID tag coupled to them. The RFID tag changes a response frequency as a function of a next RFID reader scheduled to track the corresponding asset. Assets may be components in an assembly line, patients in hospitals, containers, or other things that need to be tracked at different locations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2005Publication date: December 28, 2006Inventors: Arun Mahasenan, Bharath Pandit
