  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC BAUD RATE SELECTION FOR FACSIMILE TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE
    Publication number: 20130044795
    Abstract: A system for automatic data rate selection. A transmit rate control selects a transmit baud rate and a transmit modulation protocol and modifies the transmit baud rate and the transmit modulation protocol in response to communication errors. A receive rate control selects a receive baud rate and a receive modulation protocol and modifies the receive baud rate and the receive modulation protocol in response to communication errors. The transmit baud rate can be modified independent of the transmit modulation protocol, the receive baud rate can be modified independent of the receive modulation protocol, the transmit baud rate can be different from the receive baud rate, and the transmit modulation protocol can be different from the receive modulation protocol.

  • Security system with HVAC fault reporting
    Patent number: 6064310
    Abstract: The performance of an HVAC system in a building is monitored by connecting a thermostat to an alarm system which is equipped to provide notification of alarm conditions through telecommunication or other direct means to some responsible entity. The alarm system access to telecommunications is employed to forward indicators of HVAC fault to predetermined offsite locations from where corrective action can be provided. The system includes a presumed fault condition processor which employs data from the thermostat to indicate to the alarm system that notification should take place.

  • Cartridge fed programmable ambulatory infusion pumps powered by DC electric motors
    Patent number: 5131816
    Abstract: A cartridge fed infusion pump containing a plurality of linear peristaltic pumps. Each pump is powered by a direct current motor. The motor has a shaft which rotates to perform a pump cycle. A position encoder mounted on the shaft is used to determine when the shaft has reached the stop position in the pump cycle. A reverse pulse is used to quickly stop the motor shaft.
