20160142148 | A DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR GENERATING AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL WITH A SUPPRESSED FREQUENCY BAND - Abstract Disclosed herein is a notch filter and a method for generating an electrical signal with a suppressed frequency band. The filter generates an optical signal by modulating a modulation optical wave with an electrical signal to generate first and second sidebands. The first sideband or the second sideband has less power than the other. The filter then modifies the optical signal by equalising the power of light within the first side band at a selected frequency band and light within the second side band at the selected frequency band. The filter then produces an antiphase relationship between the light within the first side band at the selected frequency band and the light within the second side band at the selected frequency band. The filter then detects the modified optical signal to generate a copy of the electrical signal with suppressed frequency components within the selected frequency band. | 05-19-2016 |

20110077779 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONFIGURING A BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Described herein are systems and methods for configuring a BMS. In general terms, the present technology is focused on approaches for arranging and modeling building information data, particularly in terms of equipment categories and relationships between pieces of equipment, for example in the context of an HVAC system. This is advantageous in the sense that the likes of visualization, application creation, and reporting are able to be significantly streamlined. Various embodiments make use of an “equipment model”, being a model which defines items for each piece of equipment in a building system based on predefined standards, thus allowing for predictable descriptions (for example in terms of data points and relationships). Some embodiments combine this with a facility model, which describes a building in spatial terms. | 03-31-2011 |

20110071929 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING BUILDING SERVICES - Described herein are systems and methods for managing building services. In overview, various embodiments provide software, hardware and methodologies underlying an approach to the management of building services as discussed herein. Generally speaking, data collected at an access control terminal is processed to determine building service costs, and appropriately attribute those costs to a relevant party or group of parties. In one example, a building has a conference room that is available for use by a plurality of tenants. To use the meeting room, an employee of one of the tenants provides an access control respective token to an access control terminal located in a conference room. This initiates a request, which is subsequently either granted or denied subject to an authorization/authentication procedure. Where the request is granted, the user is provided with access to a building service essentially defining usage of the conference room for a predetermined period of time. For example, lighting and air-conditioning is provided to the room for that predetermined period. A building service cost associated with that usage of the conference room is determined (for example in terms of power, maintenance, etc), and attributed to the relevant tenant. | 03-24-2011 |
20120096131 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERACTING WITH ACCESS CONTROL DEVICES - Described herein are systems and methods for interacting with access control devices. In overview, a human user physically identifies an access control device with which he/she wishes to interact, for example in the context of providing commissioning and/or configuration data. The user then makes a physical local interaction with the device, for example by way of a smartcard having predefined characteristics. This causes the access control device to enable a wireless communications protocol, thereby to allow the user to discover the device using a portable device which implements a complementary wireless communications protocol. Commissioning information is then provided by way of the portable device to the access control device in a wireless manner. Once this is complete, the access control device disables the wireless communications protocol. | 04-19-2012 |
