  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISTINGUISHING PERSONS FROM OTHER ENTITIES USING NETWORK PRESENCE SENSING
    Publication number: 20230064871
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting the presence of a body (typically a human) in a network without fiducial elements while additionally using fiducial elements to assist the system and possibly reduce the computational loading on the system. The fiducial element may be used in many ways including, without limitation, assisting in ignoring some bodies present in the detection area and training the system using additional data.

  • Intelligent electrical switch
    Patent number: 11437204
    Abstract: An intelligent electrical switch comprising a conventional mechanical switch connected to a computer system in communication with an external device and receiving instructions therefrom. The switch may be installed in an existing circuit to replace one switch in a multi-way wiring geometry, and includes a sensor detecting current on the neutral line. By determining the circuit state, the switch can determine whether, when instructions are received wirelessly to power the circuit on or off, the mechanical switch element should be toggled.
