Patent number: 7800049Abstract: An occupancy sensor having a replaceable cover with a convenient adjustment and installation scheme is disclosed herein. More particularly, a single or multi-technology occupancy sensor, assembled inside a semi-spherical shaped enclosure includes a replaceable cover with a convenient adjustment and installation scheme. This sensor design enables the sensor to be rotated after installation to obtain a desired coverage patterns. Specifically, the housing for the occupancy sensor includes a front cover having a lens assembly, a base assembly, a harmonic wheel, and a back cover. The front cover couples to the base assembly such that tool-less, manual access is available through the manually removable cover assembly to adjust several features of the sensor. The harmonic wheel enables the front cover, which includes the lens to swivel from zero to 359 degrees relative to the back cover anytime after installation.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2006Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Leviton Manufacuturing Co., Inc.Inventors: John Bandringa, Danilo F. Estanislao, Adam Kevelos, Nehal Shah, Paul Soccoli, Edward Uftring

Patent number: 7560696Abstract: A sensor mounting mechanism that includes a base member adapted to be mounted to a structure and a base neck having a first end and a second end where the first end is adapted to be coupled to a sensor with a ball-socket coupling and the second end is coupled to the base member with a rotating coupling. The mounting mechanism provides fine and coarse adjustment means for adjusting the scanning area of the sensor such as an PIR occupancy sensor without the use of a tool. The sensor includes a detachable lens holder for easy replacement of the lens.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2007Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Yun Wu, John Bandringa, Paul Soccoli, Nehal Shah, Alfred J. Lombardi, Edward Uftring, Adam Kevelos, Thomas Leonard, David Weigand, John Engel

Publication number: 20060266841Abstract: The present invention is a modular handheld device. The modular handheld comprises a console and a keypad/battery module that acts with the console. The handheld can have other module parts. For example different modular handles can be attached to the handheld. The user or user organization has the option to select from one or more smaller keypad/battery battery modules and/or one or more larger keypad/battery modules with more battery capacity. The appropriate keypad/battery module is selected based on the needs of the particular user or application. This allows an organization to have multiple handheld configurations which utilize the same core computing engine, thus greatly reducing the number of IT platforms that need to be supported. By combining the display, processor, scan engines and radios into a console and separating the keypad and batteries into a “personality module” many different handhelds can be customized from a single console.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2005Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventors: Joshua Hansen, John Bandringa
