20100025210 | ELECTRIC TIMER FOR CONTROLLING POWER TO A LOAD - A wall mountable electric timer that is capable of switching power to a load between an “on” state and an “off” state in accordance with a programmable schedule. In some cases, the electric timer may be programmed such that a user can program the electric switch by interacting with only a first button and a second button of a user interface. Alternatively, or in addition, the electric switch may include a power stealing circuit, a series of setup menus, a visual indicator to indicate the operating state of the load, and/or a randomly generated schedule. | 02-04-2010 |
20100026379 | POWER STEALING CIRCUITRY FOR A CONTROL DEVICE - A power stealing circuit for stealing power to operate a control device is disclosed. In one illustrative embodiment, power may be periodically or intermittently diverted from a power source to a power stealing block. When power is diverted to the power stealing block, the power stealing block may steal power from the power source and store the stolen power on a storage device. The storage device may then provide operating power to a control device. In some embodiments, the power stealing block may include a first path for charging the storage device when a switch is ON, and a second path for charging the storage device when the switch is off. The switch may be switched OFF when, for example, when the voltage provided by the rectifier is greater than a threshold voltage, the voltage detected on the storage device is greater than a threshold value, and/or when a control signal from a controller disables the switch. | 02-04-2010 |
20100140070 | ELECTRIC TIMER FOR CONTROLLING POWER TO A FAN - A fan controller that is capable of switching power to a fan between an “on” state and an “off” state in accordance with one or more programmable schedule. In some cases, fan controller may be programmed to display one or more screens for setting one or more parameters of the fan controller by interacting with a first button and/or a second button. In some cases, when the controller is in an operating mode, depressing a first button, second button, and/or a third button may temporarily override the programmable schedule and, in some cases, override the programmable schedule for a programmable period of time. | 06-10-2010 |
20120155137 | POWER STEALING CIRCUITRY FOR A CONTROL DEVICE - A power stealing circuit for stealing power to operate a control device is disclosed. In one illustrative embodiment, power may be periodically or intermittently diverted from a power source to a power stealing block. When power is diverted to the power stealing block, the power stealing block may steal power from the power source and store the stolen power on a storage device. The storage device may then provide operating power to a control device. In some embodiments, the power stealing block may include a first path for charging the storage device when a switch is ON, and a second path for charging the storage device when the switch is off. | 06-21-2012 |

20140121994 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FAILURE PREDICTION USING LUBRICATING FLUID ANALYSIS - Methods and systems for failure prediction using analysis of oil or other lubricant. Raw data about feature(s) of each of a plurality of particles filtered from a fluid sample are used to categorize each particle into one of a plurality of categories, each category being defined by one or more of: chemical composition, size and morphology. Particle physical characteristics in each category are quantified to obtain a set of categorized data. The categorized data are compared with historical data. Results of the comparing are evaluated to generate a prediction of any failure or mechanism of failure. | 05-01-2014 |

20090213898 | Fiber Optic Temperature Probe for Oil-Filled Power Transformers - A temperature probe for use in oil-filled transformers comprises an optical fiber, a temperature sensitive member, and a protective cylindrical sheath. The optical fiber and the sensitive member are located in the protective sheath, and continuous longitudinal slit is defined along the length of the sheath to allow oil to flow therein. The optical fiber is mounted in and to the sheath using a bonding material and at a distance from the sheath. The sensitive member is adhesively mounted to the optical fiber, within the sheath, and at a distance thereof. | 08-27-2009 |

20130218371 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANAGING AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT OF A VEHICLE - An add-on device and method for managing an electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle is disclosed. The add-on device includes a transceiver adapted for communicating with the communication network of a vehicle. The add-on device further includes a controller being communicatively connected to the transceiver, and adapted to generate a user-interface control signal addressed to the user interface of the vehicle, in order to manipulate the user interface of the vehicle and to present thereon command options prompting a user to enter a command selection in response to the command options presented. The controller is further adapted to receive the command selection from the user interface, and to generate in response thereto, an ECU control signal to be sent to the communication network for executing an operation with respect to a targeted ECU, in order to manage the targeted ECU from the user interface of the vehicle. | 08-22-2013 |

20090281703 | Cruise control cancel device for passengers in vehicles - If something drastic happens to the driver of a vehicle that is on CRUISE CONTROL, the passenger(s) has few options to disengage said feature: he can turn off the ignition key possibly locking the steering wheel; he can depress the brake or clutch if he can access them. In the meantime, the vehicle is speeding along out of control. I propose a CRUISE CONTROL CANCEL DEVICE somewhere on the passenger area of the vehicle. | 11-12-2009 |
