Abstract:
This document presents a system and method for defining and controlling lights, audio systems, and any other home automation device by connection with an exterior network access port. The exterior network access is accomplished by pairing all network capable devices with a known intermediate network maintained by a master control unit. After association with the known intermediate network, the exterior network SSID and passkey are provided to the master control unit and then transmitted to each network capable device. Action sequences to control devices installed with the system may begin operation upon completion of the network association.
Abstract:
This document presents a system and method for defining and controlling moods and experiences associated with one or more spaces within a residential or commercial property. Moods and experiences may be defined by the user to present specified settings for audio, lighting, security, or other parameters that contribute to a mood for a given space. Timing and triggers may be created and saved with the moods and experiences to permit automatic, delayed, and cascading ambiance settings for one or more spaces.

This document presents a system and method for defining and controlling lights, audio systems, and any other home automation device by connection with an exterior network access port. The exterior network access is accomplished by pairing all network capable devices with a known intermediate network maintained by a master control unit. After association with the known intermediate network, the exterior network SSID and passkey are provided to the master control unit and then transmitted to each network capable device. The network capable devices connect to the exterior network by replacing the intermediate SSID and passkey information with the exterior network information.
Abstract:
A method identifying electronic communication components employed for transmitting and receiving electronic communications for subsequent testing thereof is provided which identifies each electronic communication component using a digital photo thereof. Communications characteristics required for communicating with each identified component are discerned using the component identity ascertained from the digital image.
Abstract:
The invention provides an apparatus and a method of deploying a tubular along a predetermined path. The method includes the steps of: coiling a tubular; accommodating the tubular in a deployment unit such that at least a portion of the coiled tubular is biased radially outwardly against the deployment unit; and deploying the tubular from the deployment unit along the predetermined path. The tubular can be deployed in a fluid along a predetermined path by: independently suspending the deployment unit in the fluid; and moving the deployment unit adjacent the predetermined path and simultaneously deploying the tubular along the predetermined path. The apparatus for deploying a tubular can comprise a deployment facilitator for facilitating deployment of the coiled tubular. The tubular can be arranged to feed into the deployment facilitator in use, and the deployment facilitator can be adapted to substantially reverse the coil bend of the tubular.
Abstract:
The invention provides seed and plants of the pea line designated 08560865. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of pea line 08560865, and to methods for producing a pea plant produced by crossing a plant of pea line 08560865 with itself or with another pea plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of pea line 08560865, including the seed, pod, and gametes of such plants.
