  • Patent number: 7881907
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for providing remote monitoring of a power device or power delivery system. In architecture, the system includes a remote device for performing the operation. The remote device comprises a power condition detection circuitry and a memory circuitry that stores information describing the power condition of the power device. Moreover, the remote device further comprises a transmission circuitry that transmits the information of the power condition to the service device for analysis. The present invention can also be viewed as a method for providing remote monitoring of a power device. The method operates by (1) detecting a power condition of the power device; (2) storing information describing the power condition of the power device; and (3) transmitting the information of the power condition to the service device for analysis.

  • Patent number: 7669061
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for providing remote controlling of a power device. In architecture, the service device comprises a receiver circuitry that receives operating status data of the power device, and a data input circuitry accepts control information from a user. In addition, the transmitter circuitry transmits the control information to the power device. The present invention can also be viewed as a method for providing remote controlling of a power device. The method operates by acquiring an operating status data of the power device, and transmitting control information to the power device.

  • Publication number: 20080055067
    Abstract: A system for testing PLC equipment, network conditions, and protocol performance is provided. Noise measurements can be made at a single point, and protocol traffic, signal levels, and upper-layer parameters of any transmissions by other equipment on the same network are logged. Alternatively, a plurality of units located at different points in the PLC network are at least part of a distributed test system. As a result, coordinated tests can be conducted by multiple nodes, such as point-to-point network transfer function measurement and analysis, estimation of the location of noise sources and system null and resonances, receiver operating curve (ROC) measurements with actual protocol modulation, or any other suitable tests. Preferably, the test devices are able to test using a plurality of PLC protocols. In some devices, PLC protocol-specific modules can be added or removed as desired to increase, decrease or change the test device's protocol abilities.

  • Publication number: 20070156291
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for providing remote monitoring of a power device. In architecture, the system includes a service device that includes a transceiver circuitry to receive information of a power condition from the power device, and a computation circuitry to compute an electrical value for the power device. In addition, the service device includes a display circuitry that displays the computed electrical value in conjunction with operational parameters of the power device. The present invention can also be viewed as a method for providing remote monitoring of a power device. The method operates by detecting a power condition of the power device, and computing an electrical value for the power device. The electrical value computed in conjunction with the operational parameters is then displayed.
