  • Control system and method for managing wireless and wired components
    Patent number: 11934161
    Abstract: System and method provide wireless distributed lighting control systems implementing a secure peer-to-peer, self-organizing and self-healing mesh network of actuators and system inputs. The system and method can be designed specifically for indoor and outdoor lighting where actuators include in-fixture, on-fixture and circuit control modules with ON/OFF and full range dimming capabilities, and system inputs include occupancy/vacancy sensors, daylight sensors and switches. A unique messaging protocol facilitates wireless and wired communication between actuators and system inputs, and provides web-based commissioning and monitoring of the lighting control system using a wireless access point accessible from a local network or Internet which can provide an intuitive and easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI).

  • Polyvinyl chloride polymer compositions containing trizinc dimolybdate monohydrate and zinc phosphite for smoke suppression
    Patent number: 4328152
    Abstract: A smoke suppressed rigid or plasticized polyvinyl chloride polymer composition contains a polyvinyl chloride polymer and a small but effective amount of a smoke suppressant consisting essentially of a mixture of Zn.sub.3 Mo.sub.2 O.sub.9 .multidot.H.sub.2 O and ZnHPO.sub.3, in an atomic ratio of Mo to P of about 0.5:1 to about 2.0:1, to impart smoke suppression to the polymer composition.
