  • Patent number: 10045422
    Abstract: An occupancy sensor preferably includes an occupancy sensing element configured to detect moving objects within an area of coverage, and a wireless transceiver configured to facilitate wireless coupling of the occupancy sensor to a remote device to facilitate remote wireless configuration and/or commissioning of the occupancy sensor. The wireless transceiver can be configured to be activated in response to a light sensing element of the occupancy sensor being exposed to one or more flashes of light. The wireless transceiver can be de-activated after configuration.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8449066
    Abstract: A method responds to an over-temperature condition in a printhead. The method includes generating a first electrical signal corresponding to a temperature in a printhead, monitoring the first electrical signal with a first electronic circuit to terminate delivery of electrical power to a printhead in response to detection of a safety event, and monitoring the first electrical signal with a second electronic circuit to regulate an amount of electrical power delivered to the printhead.
