  • Publication number: 20240337106
    Abstract: An intelligent roof drain system includes a roof drain surrounded by a drain plate. A water seepage detection module is disposed proximate the drain plate. The water seepage detection module includes water seepage detection sensors and circuitry and an antenna system to inductively receive power and communicate water seepage data. A roofing membrane is disposed over the water seepage detection module. A monitoring module that includes control circuitry, power supply circuitry, water level detection circuitry, communications interface circuitry, and an antenna system to inductively supply power to and communicate with the water seepage detection module is disposed proximate the water seepage detection module such that the antenna systems align. The intelligent roof drain system can detect water seepage under the roofing membrane and standing water proximate the roof drain and communicate such events to a gateway and/or building management system.

  • Patent number: 11747646
    Abstract: A time multiplexed, selectively updated, sub-pixel less, self-aligning, electrically and optically dual addressed, multi directional pixel is provided. This can potentially greatly increase the performance of an automultiscopic display and reduce the complexity. In one embodiment, an automultiscopic display can simply be provided by a plurality of directional OLED pixels.

  • Patent number: 11711911
    Abstract: A thermal management system for an enclosure containing electrical components includes a cooling unit for controlling temperature inside the enclosure and a controller for the cooling unit, the controller being configured so that it can receive a three-phase power input signal and distribute power and control connected components using the three-phase signal. The controller can protect the compressor in critical scenarios such as thermal overload and overcurrent. The controller can output various faults such as missing phase alarm, imbalance phase alarm, overcurrent alarm, thermal overload alarm, door open alarm, and temperature and pressure alarms. An auto phase sequence correction controls the phase relay, accepting 3 phase 480 VAC power input from facility power terminal, supplying 3 phase power to the compressor and motor impellers, 12V DC power to a display unit, and 24V DC power to a remote access control module.

  • Publication number: 20230081004
    Abstract: A cover is provided for an air conditioner of an enclosure. The cover can include a top wall and first and second side walls that at least partly define an interior compartment of the cover. The cover can further include a tab extending from the top wall into the interior compartment, a first side clip extending obliquely from the first side wall into the interior compartment, and a second side clip extending obliquely from the second side wall to the interior compartment. The tab and side clips can be configured to engage the air conditioner to retain the cover on the air conditioner.

  • Patent number: 11340003
    Abstract: A system or method can be used to monitor operations of a heat exchanger, such as a condenser of an air conditioning system, that includes a header plate. A temperature sensor can be secured to the header plate to measure a temperature of the header plate as a proxy for a temperature or a pressure of a working fluid of the heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 10502463
    Abstract: A thermal management system for an enclosure containing electrical components includes a thermoelectric cooling unit for controlling temperature inside the enclosure and a controller for the cooling unit, the controller being configured so that it can be installed within and protected by the enclosure, rather than requiring its own separate secure enclosure. The controller can further be installed within a housing of the thermoelectric cooling unit, which housing does not increase the footprint of the cooling unit. The housing can include a cover that separates the space within the housing into two compartments, with the controller mounted at an angle that allows the controller to fit within one of the compartments and under the cover.
