Abstract: Systems and methods that provide improved control of addressable lighting fixtures. Individual lighting units have assigned schedules defining the power levels for the unit at various times of the day. Adjustments to a scheduled level for each unit may be made depending on predefined exceptions, ambient daylight, conservation commands, override instructions, and boost signals. Individual occupants of the building are associated with sets of individual lighting units. An override command received by the system and associated with a particular individual occupant is applied to the individual lighting units with which the individual occupant is associated.

Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one Rogowski coil and a processor. The at least one Rogowski coil is positioned within an electrical power distribution network to detect a first traveling wave current caused by a fault on an electrical power transmission line of the network, generate a first signal indicative of detection of the first traveling wave, detect a second traveling wave current caused by the fault on the transmission line, and generate a second signal indicative of detection of the second traveling wave. The processor is adapted to receive the first signal and the second signal and to determine, based on the first signal and the second signal, where on the transmission line the fault occurred.

Abstract: Communication apparatus and associated method for sending messages while concealing the messages among chaff data. In sending outgoing communications to and from a remote device, a stream of chaffing data is generated. A message to be communicated is inserted into the stream of chaffing data such that the beginning and ending boundaries of the first message are concealed by the chaffing data. A matching pair of deterministic number generators, one at the sending end and one at the remote device, are initialized using a common initialization value to cause generation of a common sequence of numbers with the remote device. The stream of chaffing data, or data associated with the first message, or both, are encoded with the common sequence of numbers.
