Patent number: 8373306Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system that may incorporate a battery subsystem including at least one battery for generating electrical power, and a UPS subsystem including at least one power module. At least one first bus system may couple the battery subsystem to the UPS subsystem to supply electrical power to the UPS subsystem. An input and output (I/O) subsystem is in communication with an output of the UPS subsystem for generating an output signal. At least one second bus system may be used for coupling the output of the UPS subsystem to the I/O subsystem. At least one of the first and second bus systems may include a pair of parallel coupled, independent busses, and may further have a tie bar for enabling the pair of busses to be reconfigured as a single bus.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Liebert CorporationInventors: Michael Wassermann, Daniel H. Buss, Richard J. Zajkowski, William W. Campbell

Patent number: 8207627Abstract: An adaptive power strip has a power rail. A power entry module and one or more receptacle modules having plug receptacles are mounted on the power rail. The power entry module has a power inlet to which a source of power can be coupled. The power entry module distributes power from the power source to the power rail. The receptacle modules distribute power from the power rail to the respective plug receptacles. In an aspect, the power entry module has a communications module that discovers receptacle modules on the power rail having data communications capability and if a receptacle module does not have a unique identifier assigned to it, assigns a unique identifier to the receptacle module that the receptacle module stores in a memory. The communications modules also retrieves from each receptacle module having data communications capability, information about the characteristics of the receptacle module that the communications module stores in a memory.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2011Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Liebert CorporationInventors: Philip R. Aldag, Kevin R. Ferguson, Michael Wassermann
