Patent number: 7789317Abstract: A system and method to control environmental parameters of pre-defined zones within an environment using an electronic controller are disclosed. The system includes a non-proprietary electronic controller which enables a weighting value to be assigned to each zone within the environment. The electronic controller also detects any zone service calls from sensor devices associated with each of the zones and determines a cumulative weighting value in response to the detected zone service calls. The electronic controller selects an equipment staging combination from at least two possible equipment staging combinations in response to thermal capacity, and an air handler stage is selected in response to at least the cumulative zone weighting value.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2006Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Arzel Zoning Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mark Votaw, Joseph Ramunni, Thomas Delp, Dennis Laughlin, Al Zelczer, Leonard Roth, Vladimir Sipershteyn

Patent number: 7566264Abstract: A SDHV damper assembly and methods to assemble and install the SDHV damper assembly are disclosed. The SDHV damper assembly includes a first damper housing half comprising a substantially cylindrical tube having a first open end and a second open end. The SDHV damper assembly further includes a second damper housing half comprising a substantially cylindrical tube having a first open end and a second open end. The first open end of the second damper housing half is joined to the first open end of the first damper housing half to form an assembled damper housing. A recess is formed in the damper housing either diametrically or longitudinally. The expandable damper member is received within the recess and expands to restrict flow in the damper housing and retracts to allow laminar flow through the damper housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2006Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Arzel Zoning Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mark A. Votaw, Joseph Ramunni, Thomas Delp, Dennis Laughlin, Al Zelczer, Leonard Roth, Vladimir Sipershteyn, Alexander Avruschenko

The SDHV damper assembly further includes a second damper housing half comprising a substantially cylindrical tube having a first open end and a second open end. The first open end of the second damper housing half is joined to the first open end of the first damper housing half to form an assembled damper housing. A substantially elliptical damper blade is pivotally mounted within the assembled damper housing along a minor axis of the damper blade. An actuator member is pivotally connected to a first side of the damper blade near a first end of the actuator member. The actuator member extends through an opening in the assembled damper housing and connects to a driving element of a damper actuator at a second end of the actuator member.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventors: Mark Votaw, Joseph Ramunni, Thomas Delp, Dennis Laughlin, Al Zelczer, Leonard Roth, Vladimir Sipershteyn, Alexander Avruschenko

Patent number: 5279002Abstract: An inlaid tile gutter system for use in swimming pools contains a channel, braces mounted atop the primary gravity flow channel and stiffeners mounted on the poolside of the channel provide a relatively stiff gutter system capable of withstanding deformations due to excessive loadings and impact. Ferro concrete material may be placed within channels formed by the vertical stiffeners to provide a support and a base upon which to set tile.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1992Date of Patent: January 18, 1994Assignee: Aquatic Amusement Associates, Ltd.Inventors: Herbert S. Ellis, Thomas Delp
