  • Throttling to control thermal properties through a node
    Patent number: 10855605
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling thermal properties of a node. The method steps include calculating, using a temperature reading, a transmission duty cycle of the node, calculating a data amount capable of being transmitted with the transmission duty cycle, and transmitting, from a network interface of the node, a plurality of available data at a rate less than the data amount based on a priority of the plurality of available data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2020
    Assignee: ITRON NETWORKED SOLUTIONS, INC.
    Inventors: Peter Hunt, Jana van Greunen, Will E. San Filippo, III
  • Distributing light intensity readings in a wireless mesh
    Patent number: 9182275
    Abstract: A method for controlling a light source associated with an environment includes: receiving, over a wireless mesh network and by a control node corresponding to the light source, a first light intensity value for the environment from a first sensor node; calculating, by the control node, a resulting light intensity (RLI) value based on the first intensity value; determining, by the control node, that the RLI value exceeds a light intensity threshold; and modifying, by the control node and in response to determining the RLI value exceeds the light intensity threshold, an output of the first light source.
