20040075347, Apr 22, 2004

Filed:

Dec 2, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/725688

Inventors:

James Biskup - Aliquippa PA, US
Rohn Sambol - Industry PA, US
David Martin - Orlando FL, US

Assignee:

Energy Technologies Group, LLC - Aliquippa PA

International Classification:

H02B001/24

US Classification:

307/116000

Abstract:

A system detects for the presence of an identification (ID) code associated with an object. The detected ID code is communicated to a computer and power is provided to an energy consumption device. In response to detecting that the ID code has been absent for less than a first duration, an indication of the absence of the ID code is communicated to the computer and energy is withheld from the energy consumption device. If, however, the ID code has been absent for more than the first duration and motion is detected in a field of view, an intruder indication is communicated to the computer if the presence of the ID code is not detected within a second duration. However, if motion is not detected in the field of view, power is provided or withheld from the energy consumption device as a function of an ambient temperature of an environment.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

James Biskup - Aliquippa PA, US

International Classification:

H02J 1/12

US Classification:

307025000

Abstract:

A wall receptacle assembly includes an AC-to-DC power supply received in a wall receptacle. The power supply has an input for electrical connection to a source of AC power and an output for electrical connection to a DC power consumption device. A switch and/or an AC outlet is received in the wall receptacle for providing AC power to an AC power consumption device. The switch and the AC outlet each include terminals for electrical connection to a power terminal of a source of AC power and either the AC power consumption device or a neutral terminal of the source of AC power. If provided, the switch is operative for electrically connecting its terminals together thereby connecting the source of AC power to the AC power consumption device whereupon the connection of the power supply to the source of AC power is unaffected by operation of the switch.

International Classification:

H01H035/00

US Classification:

307/116000, 700/276000, 362/276000

Abstract:

A presence detection and control system () outputs an identification code related to an individual, a motion signal in response to detecting motion in a field of view and/or a temperature signal related to an ambient temperature. A main control device () generates at least one wireless control signal based on the ID code, the motion signal and/or the temperature signal. A smart outlet () or a phone interrupter/dialer () can receive at least one wireless control signal. I the smart outlet () is responsive to the one wireless control signal, it connects an enery source to an energy consumption device (or ). If the phone interrupter/dialer () is responsive to the one wireless control signal, it conveys a message to a conductive communication line. This message is received by a central controller () which can log the message and/or a time the message was received.
