Publication number: 20210074138Abstract: A room monitoring apparatus includes an outer shell which includes a first area transparent to at least some wavelengths of infrared radiation, a second area transparent to visible light, and a third area adapted to be positioned on a surface. A static portion is fixed to a portion of the outer shell and a rotatable portion is rotationally coupled to the static portion. The rotatable portion includes an infrared sensor positioned to receive infrared light from the room through the first area of the outer shell and an imaging sensor, separate from the infrared sensor, positioned to receive visible light from the room through the second area of the outer shell. The apparatus also includes a motor arranged to rotate the rotatable portion with respect to the static portion, a processor coupled to the infrared sensor and the imaging sensor, and a communications interface coupled to the processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Eric Scott Micko, Sonny Windstrup

Patent number: 9611978Abstract: A security apparatus includes a body with a socket that includes a first magnetic material, and a mount with a stem that is formed to fit into the socket and includes a second magnetic material. If the stem is inserted into the socket, the body is held in place by magnetic attraction between the first magnetic material and the second magnetic material. The position of the stem in the socket determines an azimuth angle and an elevation angle for the body with respect to the mount. The first and second magnetic materials can be magnets or ferromagnetic materials, such as steel.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Greenwave Systems PTE LTDInventors: Martin Manniche, Sonny Windstrup, Eric Scott Micko

Patent number: 9301412Abstract: A security apparatus includes a mount and a sensor body with a socket recessed into the sensor body at a first angle from a functionality plane. The mount includes a stem and a base adapted to be affixed to a wall. The stem extends from the base at a second angle from horizontal. The functionality plane is set at an angle from horizontal equal to the first angle plus the second angle if the stem is inserted into the socket with the first side of the stem in close proximity to the first wall of the socket, and the functionality plane of the sensor body is set at an angle from horizontal equal to the first angle minus the second angle if the stem is inserted into the socket with the first side of the stem in close proximity to the second wall of the socket.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Greenwave Systems PTE. LTD.Inventors: Eric Scott Micko, Sonny Windstrup, Martin Manniche

Patent number: 9046390Abstract: An apparatus to monitor one or more utility meters includes a communication unit with a processor, a communication interface coupled to the processor, and a probe interface coupled to the processor. A meter monitoring probe that includes a probe head is coupled by a cable to a probe connector capable to mate with the probe interface. The probe head includes an image sensor, an indicator, and a button. The probe head is capable to detect a characteristic of a utility meter that is dependent on a usage of a utility metered, and send information related to the characteristic to the processor. The processor is capable to receive the information from the probe head and send a message related to the usage of the utility over the communication interface, and the image sensor is capable to capture an image in response to a press of the button.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Greenwave Systems PTE LTDInventors: Kong Wei Lye, Fu Kin Fong, Yee Fen Ching, William Diehl, Sonny Windstrup

Patent number: 8941509Abstract: A characteristic of a first utility meter is detected with a first probe head, and a characteristic of a second utility meter is detected with a second probe head. The characteristic of the first utility meter is dependent on a usage of a first utility metered by the first utility meter, and the characteristic of the second utility meter is dependent on a usage of a second utility metered by the second utility meter. Information related to the characteristic of the first utility meter is communicated from the first probe head to a communication unit, and information related to the characteristic of the second utility meter is communicated from the second probe head to the communication unit. A message is also sent from the communication unit indicating the usage of the first utility or the usage of the second utility.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Greenwave Systems Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Yee Fen Ching, Fu Kin Fong, Kong Wei Lye, William Diehl, Sonny Windstrup, Karl Jonsson, Christian Vandendorpe

Patent number: 8430402Abstract: A networked light bulb is disclosed comprising means for controlling a state of the networked light bulb, means for connecting to a network, means for allowing a user to select a color from a plurality of colors, the plurality of colors having at least one locking color and one or more non-locking colors, and means for generating a selected color code corresponding to the color selected by the user, each color of the plurality of colors having a corresponding color code. If the user selects the locking color, the networked light bulb disconnects from the network and turns the light bulb on. If the user selects a non-locking color, the networked light bulb submits the selected color code over the network for use by the network controller in configuring the device and changes the state of the networked light bulb in response to a command from the network. In some embodiments the networked light bulb also responds to requests for status information from the network independent of the color selected by the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Greenwave Reality PTE Ltd.Inventors: William Diehl, Karl Jonsson, Sonny Windstrup
