  • Patent number: 11876371
    Abstract: The mapping of electric power distribution circuits and electric power outlets to breakers in a breaker panel is accomplished by providing a plurality of smart power testing devices and a control device that communicates with each of the smart power testing devices. Each of the smart power testing devices is connected to a respective one of the electric power outlets in a structure. Each smart power testing device can detect the AC voltage level provided at the electric power outlet. A user opens each breaker in the breaker panel, in succession. When a smart power testing device senses loss of AC voltage, it transmits a message to the control device. The control device can then identify which outlets are on a common electric power circuit, and by opening each breaker in succession, the control device can creating a mapping of outlets to breakers.

  • Publication number: 20170208375
    Abstract: A system including at least one resonator located within a first electrical dielectric medium where a product is located, the product emits at least one chemical as the product ages, and transmitter located at a dielectric boundary of said first electrical dielectric medium to provide communications to an external analyzer of data emitted by the at least one resonator and to provide electrical energy to the resonator by way of radio waves.

  • Publication number: 20170030853
    Abstract: An Apparatus, Method and System for sensing Chemical and Biological information and converting said information into the electronic digital domain for relay in a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag embedded in a dielectric medium. The apparatus consists of two parts; 1) a single coordinator apparatus providing power, control, signal processing and communications functions wirelessly to 2) a large number of chemical and temperature sensor tags embedded in a lossy dielectric medium that do not contain batteries and cannot function without the coordinator apparatus. The coordinator apparatus further acts as a digital information bridge to outside systems with the data obtained from the large number of sensor tags to the system.
