  • Publication number: 20170285603
    Abstract: A sensor system including a remote sensor and an integrated system on a chip (“SOC”) or controller. The remote sensor can be integrated into the light switch to monitor the area adjacent the light switch, where the light switch can visually disguise the remote sensor to minimize any undesirable aesthetic appearances created by the remote sensor. As light switches are ordinarily positioned high on a wall to be easily accessible, the concealed remote sensor also positioned to make optimal measurements of the area adjacent the light switch. The SOC can process measurements for the remote sensor and provide a control signal for an HVAC controller or other building system. The SOC can permit the sensor system to operate as a localized controller that can operate building systems to control conditions adjacent the sensor system.

  • Patent number: 9383517
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward techniques and configurations for alternate connection of two devices via multiple branches of a waveguide. In one embodiment, the apparatus may include a first device (e.g., a peripheral device), a second device (e.g., a computing device) mountable on the first device in a first or second position, and a waveguide substantially disposed in the first device to communicatively couple the first device with the second device. The waveguide may comprise a movable connector and first and second branches corresponding to the first and second positions. The movable connector may alternately communicatively couple the first device with the second device via the first or second branch and disconnect the second or first branch respectively in response to corresponding placement of the second device in the first or second position. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
