Abstract: A load control system may include load control devices for controlling an amount of power provided to an electrical load. The load control devices may be capable of controlling the amount of power provided to the electrical load based on control instructions received from a gesture-based control device. The gesture-based control device may identify gestures performed by a user for controlling a load control device and provide control instructions to the load control device based on the identified gestures. The gestures may be identified based on images received from a motion capture device. A gesture may be associated with a scene that includes a configuration of one or more load control devices in a load control system. The user may perform one or more gestures to program the gesture-based control device to identify a gesture.

Abstract: A motorized window treatment for controlling the amount of daylight entering a space through a window includes a covering material, a drive shaft, and a motor coupled to the drive shaft for raising and lowering the covering material. The window treatment also includes a spring assist unit for assisting the motor by providing a torque that equals the torque provided by the weight on the cords that lift the covering material at a position midway between fully-open and fully-closed positions to minimize motor usage and conserve battery life. The window treatment may comprise a photosensor for measuring the amount of daylight outside the window and temperature sensors for measuring the temperatures inside and outside of the window. The position of the covering material may be automatically controlled in response to the photosensor and the temperature sensors, or in response to an infrared or radio-frequency remote control.

Abstract: A motorized window treatment may provide a low-cost solution for controlling the amount of daylight entering a space through a window. The window treatment may include a covering material (e.g., a cellular shade fabric or a roller shade fabric), a drive assembly for raising and lowering the covering material, and a motor drive unit including a motor configured to drive the drive assembly to raise and lower the covering material. The motorized window treatment may comprise one or more battery packs configured to receive batteries for powering the motor drive unit. The batteries may be located out of view of a user of the motorized window treatment (e.g., in a headrail or in a battery compartment). The motorized window treatment may use various power-saving methods to lengthen the lifetime of the batteries, e.g., to reduce the motor speed to conserve additional battery power and extend the lifetime of the batteries.

Abstract: One example provides a method for authenticating a computing device received from a manufacturer, the method including establishing a secured connection with the computing device, receiving, from the computing device, a first set of security artifacts, and retrieving, from a secure cloud storage location, a second set of security artifacts, the second set of security artifacts including the EK public key and the PCR values for the computing device obtained during manufacturing. The method further comprises, when the first set of security artifacts matches the second set of security artifacts, then verifying the computing device as trusted and permitting communication between the computing device and a secured computing environment, and when the first set of security artifacts does not match the second set of security artifacts, then not verifying the computing device as trusted and not permitting communication between the computing device and the secured computing environment.

Abstract: The automated changeover of a transfer encryption key from one transfer encryption key to another. This occurs in an environment in which a set of computing systems are to share one or more keys (such as a private and public key pair). The transfer encryption key is used to encrypt communications of the key(s) such that the encrypted key(s) may be transferred over a transfer system without the transfer system having access to the key(s). In order to perform automated changeover of the transfer encryption key, one of the set of computing systems encrypts the next transfer encryption key with the prior transfer encryption key. The transfer system provides this encrypted message to the remainder of the set of computing systems, which may then decrypt the encrypted message using the prior transfer encryption key, to find the next transfer encryption key.
