  • Patent number: 11133666
    Abstract: A system for limiting power consumption from an auxiliary power supply is provided with a controller configured to toggle a switching circuit in accordance with an output of a sensing module and a time threshold, to sequentially cause the auxiliary power supply to be disconnected from an output terminal when the time threshold is reached and connected to the output terminal when a fault condition in the system is identified.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9681524
    Abstract: A power supply includes a first component arrangement providing a first current output for initializing control circuitry, and a second component arrangement providing a second current output to the control circuitry when the control circuitry initialization is complete, and a method of operating a power supply includes connecting a first component arrangement of the power supply to provide control circuitry with a first current for initializing operations within a predetermined time period, and connecting a second component arrangement of the supply to provide the control circuitry with a second current when initializing operations are complete.

  • Patent number: 9380664
    Abstract: Provided is a lighting system that includes a plurality of lighting elements which emit light, a power supply which supplies power, a lighting driver comprising a microcontroller and which outputs power to the plurality of lighting elements for operation thereof; and a control system which transmits a control signal to the microcontroller to initiate a standby mode of the plurality of lighting elements. The microcontroller receives the control signal and decreases output power supplied to the plurality of lighting elements, while remaining in a low power consumption mode for communicating with the control system during standby mode.
