The disclosure relates to a system for conserving energy used by temperature regulating units, such as space heaters and air conditioning units, by overriding local thermostatic controls therefor to prevent operation of the units except when a preselected temperature is reached at a master thermostat, the preselected temperature being selected to reduce energy consumption. A seven-day timer and gating circuit enable the overriding of the thermostatic controls during preselected periods of the day, for example during periods when the building is not in use. The system includes a transmitter for transmitting control pulses generated responsively to the timer and master thermostat over the electrical power distribution network of the building. Receivers connected to the local thermostatic controls detect pulses at particular frequencies, and shut-off the electrical power provided to the thermostatic controls responsive to the detected pulses, to thereby prevent operation of the associated temperature regulating units.

A method and apparatus for applying a label to the bottom of a product, the label having a universal product code thereon. The apparatus includes a first labeling assembly, a first scanning assembly, a second labeling assembly, a second scanning Assembly and means for feeding a product past these assemblies along a feeding path. The first scanning assembly detects whether or not the first labeling assembly has applied a label to the bottom of the product and if none was applied then activates the second labeling assembly to apply a label and if the second scanning assembly determines that no label has yet been applied to the product, that product is diverted from the feeding path. Additionally, a character recognition assembly is provided to determine if the correct label has been applied to the product and to divert a mislabeled product from the feeding path. The method includes feeding the product past a first labeling station, scanning the product to determine if a label has been applied, feeding the product past a second labeling station, scanning the product a second time and diverting the product from the feeding path if the product has no label applied thereto. Additionally, the method includes the step of detecting whether the correct label has been applied to the bottom of the product to divert a mislabeled product.

The disclosure relates to a system for providing central control for appliances connected to the electrical power distribution network of a building. In one embodiment the systems may be used for conserving energy used by temperature regulating units, such as space heaters and air conditioning units, by overriding local thermostatic control therefor, to prevent operation of the units during preselected time periods. The system includes a transmitter for transmitting control pulses over the electrical power distribution network of the building. Receivers, connected to the local thermostatic controls, detect the pulses and shut off the electrical power provided to the thermostatic controls responsive to the detected pulses to thereby prevent operation of the associated temperature regulating units. In one embodiment the control pulse transmitter operates responsively to signals transmitted over a coaxial cable such as employed in cable television systems.
