Patent number: 10545518Abstract: A controller for controlling energy consumption in a home includes a constraints engine to define variables for multiple appliances in the home corresponding to various home modes and persona of an occupant of the home. A modeling engine models multiple paths of energy utilization of the multiple appliances to place the home into a desired state from a current context. An optimal scheduler receives the multiple paths of energy utilization and generates a schedule as a function of the multiple paths and a selected persona to place the home in a desired state.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: Ademco Inc.Inventors: Pradeep Shetty, Wendy Foslien Graber, Purnaprajna R. Mangsuli, Soumitri N. Kolavennu, Keith L. Curtner

Patent number: 9154001Abstract: An energy management device providing a series of user interface enhancements that enable the creation and modification of energy management schedules. The energy management device may provide these user interface enhancements in connection with a touch screen interface, as the user interface receives and processes a variety of touch screen gestures from users intended to create and manipulate the energy management schedules. The user interface enhancements may include calendar views with customizable periods of interest, calendar views with overlays of scheduling and pricing information, and clocks providing runtime indications of specific energy consuming systems.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2011Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Pallavi Dharwada, Paul Derby, Wendy Foslien Graber, Hari Thiruvengada, Anand Tharanathan, Soumitri N.

Patent number: 8761909Abstract: A system and method include determining a state of a batch process. Historical segments are retrieved from a historical database of trajectories of the batch process as a function of the state of the batch process. A model is created as a function of the retrieved historical segments. The model is used to provide state information about the batch process and may then be discarded.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2007Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Roman Navratil, Wendy Foslien Graber

Patent number: 8549658Abstract: A system and method are used to connect an installed device to a local premise network, such as a home network provided by a router in the home. A user may use a host device, such as a mobile telephone that is already connected to the home network to provide the home network credentials to the installed device without having to enter the home network credentials manually into the installed device such as a thermostat.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2011Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Soumitri N. Kolavennu, Datta Godbole, Wendy Foslien Graber

Patent number: 8041539Abstract: Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is used to model a process, and clustering techniques are used to group excursions representative of events based on sensor residuals of the PCA model. The PCA model is trained on normal data, and then run on historical data that includes both normal data, and data that contains events. Bad actor data for the events is identified by excursions in Q (residual error) and T2 (unusual variance) statistics from the normal model, resulting in a temporal sequence of bad actor vectors. Clusters of bad actor patterns that resemble one another are formed and then associated with events.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2008Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Valerie Guralnik, Wendy Foslien Graber
