Abstract: A load control systems and methods. One embodiment of a load control system comprises at least two triac devices connected in parallel to a load, the at least two triac devices operable to deliver current to the load. At least one driver circuit is linked to the at least two triac devices. A controller is linked to the at least one driver circuit, the controller signaling the at least one driver circuit to actuate the at least two triac devices at about the same time.

Abstract: A method for use in a vehicle information system that includes identifying a user of a vehicle, wirelessly receiving content data in a vehicle from a data center, where the content includes at least one of multimedia content and navigation content, and delivering the content to the user. Also, a vehicle information system for use in a vehicle, including a controller and a storage connected to be accessed by the controller. The vehicle information system is capable of identifying a user of the vehicle, wirelessly receiving content data in the vehicle from a data center, and delivering the content to the user. The content can include multimedia content and navigation content.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing CAN bus routers in building automation systems are disclosed. An exemplary system may comprise a control area network (CAN) backbone. At least one CAN router may be connected in-line to the CAN backbone. A plurality of automation devices may be connected to the at least one CAN router for communication over the CAN backbone.

Abstract: Keypads for building automation systems are described and claimed herein. An exemplary implementation of a keypad device comprises a keypad circuit and a processor operatively associated with computer readable storage. A keypad program resides in the computer readable storage and is executable by the processor to generate signals identifying input at the keypad circuit and to issue the signals to automation devices in the building automation system.
