Abstract:
A method for connecting an AC powered device, which has an optical receiver, with a control circuit, which has an optical transmitter, using at least on optical medium cable includes the steps of terminating the cable at both of its ends, introducing the processed cable between the receiver and transmitter, attaching and securing one end of the processed cable to the transmitter and the other end of the processed cable to the receiver, and propagating a one way optical signal including control commands from the control circuit to the powered device.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for distributing stereo signal of an audio system integrated with an home automation system. The audio system is further integrated with intercom and video intercom including the controlling of the intercom communications and the home automation appliances via a network and the Internet. The stereo signals are encoded and distributed from a selector/encoder, via distributors or directly to speakers via at least one single twisted pair carrying the encoded signals multiplexed with serial signals and with microphone signals for communicating with the intercom or with e-station via the network or the Internet. The multiplexed signals are propagated via the same twisted pair that also feeds a constant current to the system devices or providing power via separated twisted pair. The speakers include wired or wireless remote control receivers and transmitters for propagating remote control signals. The system is flexible and can be connected in many configurations using fitted network cables and connectors.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for connecting and operating plurality of lockers in a multi apartment or multi office building connected via an interface to a video interphone system and via a local guardman or a virtual guardman over a network, for providing access to the building and opening a locker for a deliveryman to deliver packages, parcels and ordered goods. The tenants receiving a message through their video interphone monitor can retrieve the deliveries by opening the specific locker from their video interphone monitor, through the entry panel and through associated accessories.
Abstract:
In a method and apparatus for connecting an e-shopping facility for example such as an e-concierge station or an e-service or merchandise provide, with an e-shopping or merchandise provider, with an e-shopping appliance for example such as a television interphone monitor or a central processing unit or terminal, via a communications network such as for example a private network, public network or internet and through an interface unit e-shopping software programs are installed into the memory of the central processing unit which selects processing and ordering e-service and/or e-merchandize on the basis of the programs. A stopping signal is generated and propagated between the shopping appliance and the interface unit and processed through the interface unit. An interfaced shopping signal is then communicated between the shopping appliance and the e-shopping appliance and the e-shopping facility.
Abstract:
A method and a combination for assembling of an illuminator and a decorative cover made of polyhedron structure, imprinted with design motifs and/or used in restaurants and other service institutions for decoration and for commercial presentations including menus and listed service.The polyhedron cover is an incomplete structure short of at least one geometric surface or is truncated having attachment flaps around the missing or the truncated geometric surface for attachment to an illuminator base.The illuminator base includes slots to enclose the flaps, locks to attach the flaps and a rotating actuator that is used as a rotating base for the illuminator to enable the rotation of the cover around a stand or a support to review the imprinted motifs or menus around the cover.The base further includes at least one switching device and the actuator includes activator for said switching device and the illuminator is actuated by rotating and pushing or pulling the cover. The illuminator also includes remote control, includes battery operation that can be recharged, and the polyhedron cover can be designed, printed and assembled by the user from sheet material.A precut polyhedron from a sheet of a plastic or paper and other materials in a standard size for a PC printer can be keyed and supplied with pre bonding for self printing and assembling by the user.
