  • Method for Managing Flow Equalization Among Consumers on a Common Distribution Network
    Publication number: 20250119386
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to manage and limit, by the development of a flow equalization equation, the amount of total input flow capacity within a network among three or more identical consuming members connected on a common distribution network. An objective of this method, and systems implementing the method, is to minimize the maximum input flow volume, such that, any number of consumers devices may operate at full consumption while other consumers are operating at less than full consumption.

  • Method for Managing Flow Equalization Among Consumers on a Common Distribution Network
    Publication number: 20200366093
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method to manage and limit, by the development of a flow equalization equation, the amount of total input flow capacity within a network among two or more identical consuming members connected in series on a common distribution network. The objective of this method is to minimize the maximum input flow volume, such that, any number of consumers devices may operate at full consumption while other consumers are operating at less than full consumption.

  • Self dimming LED apparatus
    Patent number: 10159128
    Abstract: A self-dimming light-emitting diode (LED) system is disclosed. The LED system may include a voltage regulation circuit, an ambient light sensor, and an LED. The LED system provides for a reduction in illumination intensity of an LED, proportional to a reduction in surrounding ambient light intensity. Surrounding ambient light intensity is detected by the ambient light sensor. The LED system provides an autonomous, reduced-power system for low ambient lighting environments.
