  • Patent number: 10787340
    Abstract: A method of operating an elevator system for a learn run sequence including the steps of moving, using a linear propulsion system, an elevator car through a lane of an elevator shaft at a selected velocity; detecting, using a sensor system, the location of the elevator car when it moves through the lane; controlling, using a control system, the elevator car, the control system being in operable communication with the elevator car, the linear propulsion system, and the sensor system; and determining, using the control system, a location of each of the car state sensors relative to each other within the lane in response to at least one of a travel time of the elevator car, a velocity of the elevator car, a position of the elevator car, and a height of the elevator car.

  • Patent number: 10657430
    Abstract: A magnetic strip card includes a partial encrypted card payload encrypted with a long shared key to provide a final encrypted payload. A method for encoding the magnetic strip card includes encrypting a card payload with a code key of a access controls with a short key of the access control to generate a partial encrypted payload and encrypting the partial encrypted payload with a long shared key to provide a final encrypted payload.

  • Publication number: 20170149745
    Abstract: The described herein relates to transferring communication credentials from a configuration device to a smart device. The transfer of the communication credentials includes initialization of a configuration card with the communication credentials by the configuration device. Further, the communication credentials are automatically transferred from the configuration card to the smart device in response to the smart device coupling with the configuration card. The smart device then connects to the network based on the communication credentials in the configuration card.

  • Patent number: 9467628
    Abstract: An image processing system has a sensor array with a plurality of pixels. A distinct circuit is associated with each pixel in the sensor array. The circuits are designed such that across the plurality of circuits, there are a plurality of distinct sensitivities to irradiance from a scene to be captured which are spatially pseudo-randomly ordered relative to each other. The image processing system also comprises an image reconstruction algorithm. A method is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20150208042
    Abstract: An auto-commissioning system provides automatic parameter selection for an intelligent video system based on target video provided by the intelligent video system. The auto-commissioning system extracts visual feature descriptors from the target video and provides the one or more visual feature descriptors associated with the received target video to an parameter database that is comprised of a plurality of entries, each entry including a set of one or more stored visual feature descriptors and associated parameters tailored for the set of stored visual feature descriptors. A search of the parameter database locates one or more best matches between the extracted visual feature descriptors and the stored visual feature descriptors. The parameters associated with the best matches are returned as part of the search and used to commission the intelligent video system.

  • Publication number: 20140354430
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to detecting that an intrusion is occurring by detecting, by a first sensor, that the intrusion is occurring based on a variation of light exceeding a threshold, detecting, by a second sensor, that the intrusion is occurring, and generating an intrusion status signal that indicates the intrusion is occurring based on determining that the first and second sensors detect that the intrusion is occurring.
