Patent number: 11960263Abstract: A system for monitoring a building automation system (BAS). The systems may include a device to report data, a memory having an application that requires that the data from the device be reported at least at a minimum frequency, and a controller to receive the data from the device at least at the minimum frequency and use the application and the data to determine an operational status of a component of the BAS.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Ben Coleman, Liana Maria Kiff, Christopher Goh, Mayur S. Salgar, Manu Taranath, Prabhat Ranjan, Aaron Francis D'Souza, Henrik Dibowski, Boon Toh

Patent number: 11336445Abstract: This invention relates to a method for updating a one-time secret key Kn maintained in a subscription module implemented in a communication apparatus, a wireless communication network maintaining an identical version of said one-time secret key Kn and configured to determine a result XRES expected from the communication apparatus when an authentication function is applied by the subscription module using a random challenge and said one-time secret key Kn as an input, the method comprising the following steps: receiving from the communication network an authentication request message containing at least a random challenge RANDn; determining by the subscription module a result RES by applying the authentication function using the random number RANDn and the one-time secret key Kn as inputs; transmitting said result RES to the communication network for it to be compared with the expected result XRES determined by the communication network using the random number RANDn and the corresponding version of the one-timType: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: THALES DIS FRANCE SASInventors: Michel Anslot, Francis D'Souza

Patent number: 10127056Abstract: A system to automate creation of a configuration wizard from, for example, an underlying control application. In one instance, a complex application may be represented with a simple configuration view such as that of a configuration wizard. When an application is being created, a user may be provided with a feature that defines the configuration wizard. Some aspects of the present approach are that a wizard user interface may be automatically generated, a standard approach may be provided to define the wizard, and, for changes which are performed in the application, the wizard may easily be edited and regenerated.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Aaron Francis D'Souza, Lavanya Bhadriraju, Soumya Ramesh, Thejasvini Shivanagendra, Gutha Stalin Sanghamitra, Subramanya Tavarekere Nagaraj, Kevin B.

Patent number: 8621377Abstract: A configuration tool for a programmable HVAC controller is provided. The configuration tool may accept user input, and may generate a corresponding configuration profile based on the user input. The configuration profile may be downloaded to a programmable HVAC controller, which may, among other things, reconfigure the I/O terminals of the programmable HVAC controller. The configuration tool may generate a terminal diagram that labels at least some of the I/O terminals of the programmable HVAC controller based on the particular configuration profile. In some cases, the configuration tool may output the terminal diagram in a format that can be printed on a label, with the label being suitable for adhering to the programmable HVAC controller.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Aaron Francis D'Souza, Stalin Gutha Sanghamitra, Ralph Collins Brindle, Levi Geadelmann, Kevin Moore
