20090273433 | METHOD OF AUTOMATICALLY PROGRAMMING A NEW BALLAST ON A DIGITAL BALLAST COMMUNICATION LINK - A method for replacing a previously-installed lighting control device with a newly-installed lighting control device in a lighting control system provides for automatic programming of the newly-installed device if there is only one newly-installed device in the system. The system comprises a controller interconnected to the newly-installed device by a communication link. The controller stores a short address and configuration information of the previously-installed device in memory and assigns the short address of the previously-installed device to the newly-installed device. The controller is operable to transmit the configuration information associated with the previously-installed device to the newly-installed device in response to determining that there is only one newly-installed device in the system. The controller is operable to undo the completed address assignment by unassigning the short address from the newly-installed device if there is more than one newly-installed device in the system. | 11-05-2009 |
20100238047 | Method of Confirming that a Control Device Complies with a Predefined Protocol Standard - A control device, such as a digital ballast controller, is adapted to be coupled to an electronic ballast, such as a DALI ballast, via a communication link, and is operable to determine whether the ballast is operating within the specifications of a predefined protocol standard, e.g., the DALI standard. For example, the control device may measure the bit times of a digital message received from the ballast and to determine if the bit times fall within the limits set by the standard. The control device may also determine the minimum delay time required between two digital messages received by the ballast and determine if the minimum delay time falls within the limit set by the standard. The control device may adapt its normal operation (e.g., how digital messages are received and transmitted) or may provide feedback (e.g., by flashing a lamp) in response to determining that the ballast is operating outside of the specifications of the standard. | 09-23-2010 |
20100241255 | Method of Semi-Automatic Ballast Replacement - The present invention relates to a semi-automatic method of replacing a ballast within a lighting control system, such that the new replacement ballast can operate in the same manner as the ballast that was replaced. If multiple ballasts in a lighting control system are removed from the system and multiple new ballasts are installed to replace those ballasts, any operational configurations such as group configurations or area information associated with each removed (missing) ballast must be assigned to the proper new replacement ballast. The semi-automatic replacement method relies upon the operational configurations of the removed ballast to help a user identify which new ballast should replace each missing ballast. | 09-23-2010 |

The user feedback is received from a view input element. In response to the user feedback, the sub-part containing the desired entry is selected. The partitioning, characterizing, receiving, and selecting steps are re-performed one or more times until a final sub-part is generated that contains a limited number of entries including the desired entry. | 01-21-2010 |

20090021835 | TILTED COMBINERS/DECOMBINERS AND PHOTONIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (PICs) EMPLOYING THE SAME - A monolithic optical transmitter photonic integrated circuit (TxPIC) comprises a plurality of integrated modulated sources which, when all operated at constant current, display a power output that varies as a function of array position similar to a quadratic-shaped curve and, further, forming an array of signal channels each having a different wavelength output. An optical combiner/decombiner is integrated in the circuit and has at least one free space region with a plurality of ordered bands along its edge where the zero order band is substantially at a longitudinal centerline of the free space region and where, on either side of this band, is a first order band followed by additional higher order bands. The ends of the output waveguides from the modulated sources are coupled approximate to the free space region edge along a region of the zero order band between one of the adjacent first order bands and a longitudinal centerline of the zero order band so that the inputs of the signal channels to the combiner of are titled or offset with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the combiner free space region so the combined outputs from the optical combiner will be aligned along the slope of the quadric-shaped curve of the combiner output passband envelope. The tilted combiner/decombiner may also be deployed in a receiver photonic integrated circuit (RxPIC) or other circuit employing such a device. | 01-22-2009 |
