Patent number: 11044792Abstract: A system includes a switch-mode power supply for drawing low and constant current from a power source. The switch-mode power supply may charge an energy storage element with low and constant current. In a normal condition, a current driver may cause the illuminator to emit electromagnetic radiation as a plurality of flashes. In the normal condition, the system may include an average power that is less than or equal to a threshold value associated with the illuminator. In a fault condition, the illuminator may continuously emit electromagnetic radiation, at low current. In the fault condition, the switch-mode power supply may supply low and constant current to the illuminator. Similarly, in the fault condition, the system may include an average power that is less than or equal to a threshold value associated with the illuminator.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael Spurr, Mike Lees

Patent number: 9870597Abstract: Systems and methods for allowing landlords to combine information from a retail electric provider into landlord billed utilities and items, are described herein. In one aspect, residency information for a unit associated with a resident is received. Resource consumption or usage information associated with the unit is received from one retail electric provider. A consolidated data set is generated based on the resource consumption or usage information for the unit from both the retail electric provider and landlord provided services such as rent, water, trash and sewer. Under this process, a resident may choose to have the electric account remain in the landlord's name and then be billed for such retail electric charges on the same bill as the landlord provided utilities and services. In some implementations, the community will collect funds for the utility bills from each resident and will use such funds to pay the utility provider directly.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2012Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Conservice, LLCInventors: David Jenkins, Greg Cole, J.

Patent number: 8508341Abstract: An adaptive communication system and method for use in an electronic toll collection system utilizing transponders located in vehicles travelling on a toll roadway. A transponder memory stores configuration type data that identifies the type of the vehicle carrying the transponder, the transponder or the transponder's mounting. The transponder transmits the configuration type data to the communication system. The communication system includes a memory which contains a database of predetermined communication parameters for various types of configuration types. The communication system looks up the predetermined communication parameters for the configuration type and adjusts variable communication parameters accordingly. Predetermined communication variables may include the transmit power of an antenna, or the receive sensitivity of the antenna or the position of the vehicle in order to maximize the likelihood of a successful communication.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2010Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Mar IV Industries Corp.Inventors: Japjeev Kohli, Alastair Malarky, Mike Lee

Patent number: 8172929Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to limiting a presence of air bubbles in fluidic media in a reservoir. Air passages may allow air to escape from fluidic media in a reservoir. Membranes may allow for trapping air bubbles in fluidic media before fluidic media enters a reservoir. A membrane may allow air to flow from a first reservoir containing fluidic media to a second reservoir while plunger heads within each of the reservoirs are moved within the reservoirs. An inner reservoir with a membrane may be moveable within an outer reservoir to allow air to move from the outer reservoir to the inner reservoir. An inner reservoir containing pressurized gas may allow fluidic media to be transferred to an outer reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2011Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventors: Julian D.
