Abstract: A system for locating an object in a volume of space can include multiple electrical devices, where each electrical device includes a transceiver. The system can also include a controller communicably coupled to the electrical devices. The controller can instruct the electrical devices to broadcast, using the transceiver, multiple first signals in the volume of space. The controller can also collect data associated with multiple second signals received by the transceiver of the electrical devices, where the second signals are sent by the object in response to the first signals. The controller can further determine, using the data, a multi-dimensional location of the object in the volume of space.

Abstract: A universal sensor interface system for a luminaire includes a sensor receiving cavity that is formed in the luminaire and defined by a sensor receiving receptacle. Further, the universal sensor interface system includes a sensor device that is configured to be removably coupled to the sensor receiving receptacle of the luminaire and disposed in the sensor receiving cavity. The sensor device receives electrical energy from the luminaire and establishes data communication with the luminaire when the sensor device is disposed in the sensor receiving cavity. The transfer of electrical energy and data communication between the luminaire and the sensor device are enabled either wirelessly or using connector systems such as a pogo connector system. The luminaire includes a translation engine that is configured to transform data received from the sensor device to a format that is compatible with the luminaire and/or a light control system of the luminaire and vice-versa.

Abstract: A system for locating an object in a volume of space can include a sensor device having multiple antennae, and a switch coupled to the antennae. The system can also include a controller communicably coupled to the switch, where the controller measures a first angle of a signal received at a first antenna, where the first angle of the signal is associated with a location of the object. The controller also operates the switch from a first position to a second position, where the first position enables the first antenna, and where the second position enables a second antenna. The controller further measures a second angle of the signal received at the second antenna, where the second angle of the signal is associated with the location of the object. The controller also determines, using the first angle and the second angle, a multi-dimensional location of the object.

Abstract: A system for locating an object in a volume of space can include an electrical device having multiple antennae, and a switch coupled to the antennae. The system can also include a controller communicably coupled to the switch. The controller can measure, at a first time, a first parameter of a signal received at a first antenna. The controller can also operate the switch from a first position to a second position, where the first position enables the first antenna, and where the second position enables a second antenna. The controller can further measure, at a second time, a second parameter of the signal received at the second antenna. The controller can also determine, using the first parameter and the second parameter, a multi-dimensional location of the object in the volume of space.
