  • Patent number: 11543791
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining operation commands for a fixture within an area of a facility. One example system includes a processor configured to: receive, from a first fixture associated with an area within a facility, operational data related to an operation of the first fixture; receive, from a second fixture associated with the area within the facility, environmental data related to a condition of the area; process the operational data and the environmental data through a status model to determine a status for the area, the status model trained with operational data and environmental data previously received from the first fixture, the second fixture, and other fixtures associated with the facility; determine an operation command for a third fixture associated with the area within the facility based on the status; and provide the operation command to the third fixture for execution.

  • Patent number: 10062996
    Abstract: A malleable wax-based antioxidant is provided for use between two electrical connectors. To form the example antioxidant, a wax-base is melted and particles, such as, for example, zinc particles, are provided in suspension with the melted wax. The suspension is then cooled and formed into a shape by, for example, molding, extrusion, die cutting, or other suitable forming method. The antioxidant remains viscose under normal operating temperatures of the electrical connector to avoid oozing and/or running out of the antioxidant, thus better preventing oxidation of the connector. The particles keep the connections running cool, particularly with aluminum to aluminum connections.

  • Patent number: 9795017
    Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-commissioning a wireless lighting control system. The method includes the steps of defining a name of a space having a lighting control installed, scanning in at least one wireless lighting component using a mobile application (“mobile app”), scanning in at least one gateway unit using the mobile app, scanning in at least one peripheral control unit using the mobile app, creating associations with the at least one wireless lighting component, the at least one peripheral control unit, and the at least one gateway unit, installing the at least one wireless lighting component, the at least one peripheral control unit, and the at least one gateway unit, uploading a complete list of products in the space to a system web application using the mobile app, uploading the complete list of products in the space to a gateway unit that controls the space using the system web application, and powering on all of the products in the space.

  • Patent number: 9627928
    Abstract: A line-in power is connectable to the disclosed outlet housing similar to any known power outlet. This provided power is used to drive an AC/DC converter to create a DC bus internal to the outlet housing. This DC bus powers the electronics, including, for example, a wireless transceiver incorporated within the outlet housing. In at least one instance, the wireless transceiver will receive a command from another wireless device to turn power ON or OFF to the local outlet and the downstream (e.g. daisychained, etc.) outlets. These outlets can be wired to the output terminations (push-in and/or other) on the back of the local outlet and/or outlet housing, or may be connected through any other suitable electrical connection.
