Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090102294System and Method for Load Control - A system is described including a means for receiving a potential and selectively supplying the potential to a load. The receiving and supplying means being responsive to a load control signal to supply the potential to the load when the load control signal is present. The system also includes a means for measuring a load demand. Also included is a means for controlling the receiving and supplying means. The controlling means continuously providing the load control signal when the load demand is greater than a predetermined threshold. The controlling means temporarily providing the load control signal to determine the load demand when the load demand is less than the predetermined threshold.04-23-2009
20090295226System and Method for Load Control - A system is described including a master power saving device configured for connection with a master load. The master power saving device is configured to determine when the master load is in an operating condition and a non-operating condition, and the master power saving device provides non-continuous power to the master load when the master load is in a non-operating condition. A slave power saving device is configured for connection with a slave load. The slave power saving device is configured to receive a signal from the master power saving device to turn off said slave load.12-03-2009

A slave power saving device is configured for connection with a slave load. The slave power saving device is configured to receive a signal from the master power saving device to turn off said slave load.07-28-2011
20120074782SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOAD CONTROL - An example system includes a sensor configured to generate a human-in-area signal. The human-in-area signal may indicate that a human is in an area of the sensor. The system may further include a power-saving device in communication with the sensor and configured to receive the human-in-area signal. The power-saving device may provide power to a load based at least in part on a load demand and in accordance with the human-in-area signal.03-29-2012
20120074792SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOAD CONTROL - A device includes a load sensor configured to measure a load demand that indicates that a load is operating in an active state or an inactive state. A load switch is configure to selectively supply electric energy to the a load in accordance with a load control signal. A controller in communication with the load switch and the load sensor is configured to compare the load demand to a load threshold, generate the load control signal based at least in part on the load demand relative to the load threshold, and transmit the load control signal to the load switch when the load demand is substantially equal to or greater than the load threshold. The controller is further configured to determine the load threshold based at least in part on the load demand when the load is operating in either the active state or the inactive state.03-29-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090202845Antimicrobial Anodized Aluminum and Related Method - An anodized aluminum product in continuous web or sheet form, which is heat sealed and coated with an antimicrobial composition. The antimicrobial coating can be bound to surface of the anodic layer and can comprise a network of cross-linked organo-silane molecules that are also covalently bound to the surface of the anodic layer. A process also is provided including: forming an anodic layer on the surface of an aluminum substrate; heat sealing the anodic layer; preheating the web or sheet to a range from about 140° F. to about 200° F.; applying an antimicrobial composition at an application rate sufficient for the composition to at least begin binding to the surface of and form an antimicrobial coating over the anodic layer; and post heating the coated anodized antimicrobial web or sheet to a range from about 140° F. to about 200° F. to further bind the composition to the cure the antimicrobial coating. Optionally, the heat sealed anodic layer can be etched to create a bonding layer to which the antimicrobial composition strongly bonds.08-13-2009

20100036709METHOD AND SYSTEM OF MEASURING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WITH PURCHASED VEHICLE - A method of measuring customer satisfaction with a product. The method may assess customer satisfaction from information collected after purchasing the product. This post-purchase information may be collected, for example, by monitoring customer expressions made while interacting with the product. Optionally, the settings and operating conditions of the product may be separately monitored and cross-referenced with the customer expressions to tie the expressions with specific characteristics of the product.02-11-2010
