| 20090055760 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING A USER INTERFACE - The present disclosure provides for systems and methods for facilitating the design, creation and/or implementation of a user interface for processor programs. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for systems and methods for creating at least one user interface for processor programs for controlling devices and/or for controlling (e.g., managing or playing) or utilizing media or data files. In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides for systems and methods for creating at least one user interface for control systems or automation systems or the like. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090027824 | Current Zero Cross Switching Relay Module Using A Voltage Monitor - Assemblies, systems, and methods which prolong relay life by dynamically compensating the make and break contact timing between the contact points of the relay and a zero crossing point of the power supply's waveform are provided according to the present disclosure. The life cycle of the relay components are dramatically increased through the use of these assemblies, systems, and methods due to a decrease in arcing and other physically damaging phenomena between the contacts of the relay. The present disclosure also provides for assemblies, systems, and methods whereby a processor analyzes the inductive kickback effect in the relay load voltage signal and dynamically adjust the relay open time such that the inductive kickback effect is minimized. In exemplary embodiments, the systems/methods provided herein advantageously adjust the relay open time such that the relay switching time corresponds with current zero cross and do so without requiring complicated current monitoring components. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20080218493 | Display With Motion Sensor - The present disclosure provides for a display device for interfacing with a control and/or automation system. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for an improved display device for interfacing with a control and/or automation system, wherein the electronic display device includes a motion sensor or the like. In exemplary embodiments, the motion sensor is configured to detect at least one of motion or proximity of a human being without being contacted by the human being, the non-contact motion sensor also being configured to activate and/or adjust the illumination/light level of the display/screen from a first illumination/light level to a second illumination/light level when the non-contact motion sensor detects at least one of motion or proximity of a human being. | 09-11-2008 |
