Patent number: 11898761Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for controlling rate of heat delivery in a hydronic system, which includes receiving, by a control unit, at least a first temperature, a second temperature from two spatially separated points in the hydronic system and a flow rate. The two spatially separated points correspond to inlet of heat transfer device and outlet of heat transfer device. The method also includes calculating at predefined interval, by the control unit, an actual rate of heat delivery to the heat transfer device based on flow rate and temperature difference between the two spatially separated points. The control unit determines heat delivery rate difference between actual rate of heat delivery and target rate of heat delivery. The control unit adapts flow rate of fluid into inlet of heat transfer device based on heat delivery rate difference to maintain target rate of heat delivery in heat transfer device.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Harvest Thermal, Inc.Inventor: Evan Green

Publication number: 20210317997Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system for disinfecting water for hydronic space conditioning and domestic hot water. The system includes a thermal storage tank, a disinfecting device and a control unit. The control unit monitors an outlet temperature of water exiting the thermal storage tank. Further, the control unit calculates a temperature difference between a temperature threshold limit associated with the disinfecting device and the outlet temperature. The control unit transmits a first signal to the disinfecting device when the temperature difference is a positive value. The first signal operates the disinfecting device in the activation mode for heating the water to provide anti-bacterial sanitation. The control unit transmits a second signal to the disinfecting device for deactivating the disinfecting device when the temperature difference is a negative value. The sanitized water from the disinfecting device is used for conditioning an enclosure and a domestic hot water.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventor: Evan GREEN

Patent number: 9292475Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing information includes receiving electronic information at a second device from a first device, where the received electronic information is sampled periodically, resulting in a plurality of numerical data value samples. The data value samples are analyzed within the receiver to determine slope transitions within the data which are interpreted as high and low transitions representative of bit transitions ordinarily seen in the transmission of digital data. The bit transitions are then converted into a receiving device appropriate usable and readable form, such as bytes (8 bits each) or groups of bytes, as needed. Data bytes may be commands, information, or other indicators useful to the receiving device.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2013Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Glooko Inc.Inventors: Ronald C.

Patent number: 7106508Abstract: The present invention is a hybrid cell that utilizes a PBS pair in conjunction with a wedge tuner and a crystal to achieve a more stable interleaver. A first PBS splits an incoming optical signal into two orthogonally polarized beams which follow different optical paths through the cell. The length of the wedge tuner and crystal are selected such that the periodicity of the cell is approximately inversely proportional to the free spectral range at a target frequency. The length of the wedge tuner and crystal are also selected such that there is no change in an optical path difference between the two optical paths with respect to a change in temperature over an operating temperature range.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2003Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Finisar CorporationInventors: Tengda Du, Xin Luo, Ping Xie, Evan Green
