Networkable Power Controller

View page

US Patent:

6400103, Jun 4, 2002

Filed:

Mar 10, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/522390

Inventors:

Hugh Patrick Adamson - Boulder CO

Assignee:

Power Circuit Innovations, Inc. - Boulder CO

International Classification:

H05B 3702

US Classification:

315292, 315294, 315312, 315320

Abstract:

A networkable power controller includes a mode selector for selectively conducting of a plurality of input signals to an output of the networkable power controller, where the input signals and the output signals satisfy the same signaling protocol. The networkable power controller may be networked with other networkable power controllers, lighting ballasts and other building automation control devices, and user-controlled voltage selectors to provide a lighting control network. A power controller may include a mode selector that may be used in combination with other control devices or components, including a rotary dimmer control, a digital slide dimmer control, a demand load shedder component, a photometer component, and a communications interface. The communications interface allows digital control of the networkable power controller.

US Patent:

7170238, Jan 30, 2007

Filed:

Jul 30, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/631387

Inventors:

Hugh P. Adamson - Boulder CO, US
Scott Hesse - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Colorado vNet, LLC - Loveland CO

International Classification:

H05B 37/00

US Classification:

315293, 315316

Abstract:

Control systems and methods. An embodiment of control system may comprise a processor for receiving control signals from at least one input device when linked thereto. Computer-readable program code is provided for generating output signals at the processor based on the control signals. An interface is operatively associated with the processor, the interface configures at least one regulator based on the output signals generated at the processor by delivering pulse width modulated signals to the at least one regulator.

Lighting Control Systems And Methods

US Patent:

7211968, May 1, 2007

Filed:

Jul 27, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/899874

Inventors:

Hugh P. Adamson - Boulder CO, US
Scott Hesse - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Colorado vNet, LLC - Loveland CO

International Classification:

H05B 37/00

US Classification:

315295, 315316, 362 85

Abstract:

Implementations of lighting control systems and methods are described and claimed herein. An exemplary remote control system comprises a wireless interface configured to receive instructions from a wireless station in a building automation network. A ballast table identifying ballast control points is stored in computer-readable memory. A processor operatively associated with the wireless interface and the ballast table uses the ballast table to generate electronic control signals identifying ballast control points corresponding to the instructions received at the wireless interface.

Appl. No.:

10/631599

Inventors:

Hugh P. Adamson - Boulder CO, US
Scott Hesse - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Colorado Vnet, LLC - Loveland CO

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709253, 700276

Abstract:

Command system for a plurality of network devices. The command system may comprise a network administrator provided on a network, the network administrator issuing a command signal over the network. A plurality of device interfaces provided between the network and each of the network devices. Each of the plurality of device interfaces having: at least one input line to receive the command signal over the network; a transceiver operatively associated with the input line, the transceiver detecting the command signal on the input line; and at least one switching element provided between the transceiver and the network device, the at least one switching element establishing a link to the network device when the command signal is detected by the transceiver. The plurality of device interfaces delivering the command signal to the plurality of network devices.
