Abstract: In various embodiments, systems, methods, and techniques are disclosed for generating a collection of clusters of related data from a seed to assist in detection of financial malfeasance. Seeds may be generated based on seed generation strategies or rules. Clusters may be generated by, for example, retrieving a seed, adding the seed to a first cluster, retrieving a clustering strategy or rules, and adding related data (such as trades, emails or chat messages) and/or data entities to the cluster based on the clustering strategy. Various cluster scores may be generated based on attributes of data in a given cluster, and the clusters may be displayed and ranked based on their scores. Various embodiments may enable an analyst to review clusters of trades, emails and/or chat messages that are the most likely to reveal financial malfeasance.

Abstract: An LED driver includes a first stage. The first stage converts AC power from an AC power source into a DC power source. The driver also includes a second stage that receives the DC power from the first stage. The driver has a buck converter with a constant current output. The buck converter is managed by a buck converter control chip. The buck converter control chip is controlled by a microprocessor with an associated EEPROM. The EEPROM stores settings for the LED driver can be changed either with a wired GUI port or wirelessly through a Zigbee interface. The microprocessor can select a value of a DC output current according to a value of the analog dimming input signal which has been translated using a predetermined programmable relationship between the input signal and the output current.

Abstract: A wireless lighting control module for LED lighting includes a Zigbee wireless receiver receiving an input wireless control signal, an analog control output which conforms to the 0-10V format, and a microcontroller which is connected to the wireless receiver and receives the input wireless control signal from the wireless receiver. The microcontroller regulates the analog control output. The analog control output has a predetermined cutoff level. A lighting power output is controlled by the microcontroller and cut off by opening a relay when the analog control output is below the predetermined cutoff level. The predetermined cutoff level of the analog control output is 0.5V.

Abstract: A phase control dimming LED driver is able to achieve complete stabilization of both TRIAC and trailing edge dimmers by using a large inductor to limit the inrush normally associated with the switching on of the TRIAC during each half cycle. Such a large inductor is not normally used because when a trailing edge dimmer is applied, a damaging voltage surge known as “ring up” can be generated when the trailing edge dimmer switch turns off. In this invention the inductor is placed after the input rectifier bridge and equipped with a diode and resistor which allow the energy in the inductor at the moment when a trailing edge dimmer switches off to be harmlessly dissipated.

Abstract: A dual sensor lighting controller has an AC input rectifier that includes an EMI filter, and an isolated AC-to-DC converter for 12 VDC and 5 VDC supplies, and a mechanical relay to control output AC Line voltage for the lighting device. The lighting controller also includes a motion PIR sensor, an internal photo sensor, an external photo sensor and an infrared receiver configured to receive signals from a remote control. The remote control is a handheld battery operated infrared remote control. Two wires provide 0-10 VDC dimming and a microcontroller preferably includes proprietary firmware controls. The microcontroller is connected to and reads PIR, internal or external photo sensors signals. The microcontroller has a clock that counts internal timing to control an output of the lighting device by a mechanical relay together with 0-10 VDC dimming control to save Electrical energy by activating or deactivating the output AC Line voltage.

Abstract: A Zigbee Lighting Control Module is described which can be connected to the input of an analog dimming LED driver so that a Zigbee controlled analog signal can be applied to the dimming input of the LED driver. Particular features of the module are the capability to apply a chosen nonlinear transform between the digital Zigbee input signal and the 0-10V analog output signal, and the use of a relay to cut off power to the driver being controlled when the analog output signal goes below a chosen level. The module can provide 100 mA output currents allowing large numbers of LED drivers to be controlled at once.
