Publication number: 20190098380Abstract: A monitoring system can receive sensor measurements from a select sensor of a group of sensors. The sensor measurements are compared to group alert condition or an individual alert condition. Based on the comparison, an alert state can be identified and a user notified of the alert state. The system can automatically determine the individual alert condition, which can be uniquely associated with the select sensor and can be associated with a domain of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Michael Primm, Richard Jefts, Martin Stich

Patent number: 8015255Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a method for communicating with a monitoring device. The method includes sending an unsolicited-type message from a client program resident on the monitoring device coupled to a first secure network. The unsolicited-type message is sent to a computing system coupled to a second network separated from the first secure network by a firewall. The method also includes receiving a response message to the unsolicited-type message from the computing system. The response message includes an embedded unsolicited-type message. The client program is resident on the monitoring device receiving the response message.

Patent number: 7529838Abstract: The invention is directed to a network-enabled appliance. The appliance may aid the remote monitoring of various measured data. The device may monitor a variable or set of variables and output the data upon request. In addition, the appliance may issue alarms, alerts, warning and other notifications when a variable matches a setpoint or undergoes a specified change, deviation, and/or fluctuation. Further the appliance may be operable to communicate with other appliances. The communication may comprise periodic pinging of peer appliances. In this manner, a peer appliance may detect a failure in other network-enabled appliances when an anticipated ping is not received. Further, the communication may enable the establishment of a directory of capabilities of various appliances. In this manner, a group of appliances may perform more complex behaviors by grouping resources. Further, a group of appliances may act to reestablish the behavior of a failed device.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2006Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: American Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Michael Primm, John J.
