Patents by Inventor Vanessa Lee MacAulay

Vanessa Lee MacAulay has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9691030
    Abstract: Electrical usage of devices in a building may be monitored to assist a user in labeling devices. In some implementations, a user may provide information about a first device, and this information may be used to obtain a plurality of mathematical models that each correspond to a device or a class of devices. The mathematical models may be used to process an electrical signal, and a score may be generated for each mathematical model. A mathematical model may be selected from the plurality of mathematical models using the scores, such as selecting a mathematical model with a highest score. The first device may be associated with the selected mathematical model.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 22, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2017
    Assignee: Sense Labs, Inc.
    Inventors: Christopher M. Micali, Michael S. Phillips, Vanessa Lee MacAulay, Ryan T. Houlette

  • Patent number: 9443195
    Abstract: Electrical usage of devices in a building may be monitored to assist a user in labeling devices. In some implementations, an electrical signal corresponding to devices may be processed with models to determine first information about a device, and this first information may be presented to a user to receive second information about the device from the user. The device may then be labeled using the second information from the user. In some implementations, a user may provide first information about a device, and the first information may be used to obtain models for processing an electrical signal. A model may be selected from the obtained models by comparing the obtained models to an electrical signal. The device may then be labeled using the selected model or the first information.
