Patent number: 11543791Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2022Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Zurn Industries, LLCInventors: Mike Troutman, Dan Klasen, Paul Nelson, Adam Beson, Nolan Bello, William Leannah, Ricky Miezin

Patent number: 10062996Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2011Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: IDEAL Industries, Inc.Inventors: Nolan Bello, Sushil N.

Patent number: 9627928Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: IDEAL Industries, Inc.Inventors: Sushil N.
