  • Publication number: 20070024125
    Abstract: A system detects for the presence of an identification (ID) code associated with an object. The detected ID code is communicated to a computer and power is provided to an energy consumption device. In response to detecting that the ID code has been absent for less than a first duration, an indication of the absence of the ID code is communicated to the computer and energy is withheld from the energy consumption device. If, however, the ID code has been absent for more than the first duration and motion is detected in a field of view, an intruder indication is communicated to the computer if the presence of the ID code is not detected within a second duration. However, if motion is not detected in the field of view, power is provided or withheld from the energy consumption device as a function of an ambient temperature of an environment.

  • Publication number: 20060043796
    Abstract: A wall receptacle assembly includes an AC-to-DC power supply received in a wall receptacle. The power supply has an input for electrical connection to a source of AC power and an output for electrical connection to a DC power consumption device. A switch and/or an AC outlet is received in the wall receptacle for providing AC power to an AC power consumption device. The switch and the AC outlet each include terminals for electrical connection to a power terminal of a source of AC power and either the AC power consumption device or a neutral terminal of the source of AC power. If provided, the switch is operative for electrically connecting its terminals together thereby connecting the source of AC power to the AC power consumption device whereupon the connection of the power supply to the source of AC power is unaffected by operation of the switch.
