摘要:
A direct current feeder protection system includes six conductors, four current sensors sensing four currents flowing in four of the conductors, four circuit interrupters interrupting currents flowing in the four conductors, and a processor cooperating with the current sensors to input four sensed currents, and to output a number of commands to the circuit interrupters. The processor includes a routine detecting a number of: a directional current fault of the sensed currents, a differential current fault of the sensed first and third currents or the sensed second and fourth currents, and a residual current fault of the sensed first and second currents or the sensed third and fourth currents, and to responsively output the commands. The first, fifth and third conductors are electrically connected in series with two of the circuit interrupters, and the second, sixth and fourth conductors are electrically connected in series with the other circuit interrupters.

摘要:
A system and method for associating a vehicle and vehicle trailer is described. The system comprises one or more sensors that transmit information wirelessly to a tractor display unit. The tractor display unit determines whether the sensor is associated with a trailer to which it is connected and filters out messages from sensors that are not associated with its trailer. To determine which sensors are associated with its trailer, a processor in the tractor display unit synchronizes the reception of sensor messages with the reception of a synchronizing signal, such as a signal generated by operating an auxiliary power system, turn signal, or brake.

A method of network communication includes employing a communication network protocol stack having a plurality of independent communication layers providing a plurality of different corresponding services. A buffer manager is employed for a plurality of communication buffers. The buffer manager is independent of the independent communication layers. An application framework provides asynchronous communications among the buffer manager and the independent communication layers. For a plurality of pairs of the buffer manager and one of the independent communication layers and for a plurality of pairs of the independent communication layers, the method provides subscribing by the buffer manager and by the independent communication layers to a plurality of events through the application framework and publishing by the buffer manager and by the independent communication layers a plurality of corresponding events through the application framework.
摘要:
An antenna is for a wireless communication device mounted in an opening of a wall. The antenna includes a switch cover plate adapted to cover the opening of the wall. The switch cover plate includes a first or front surface adapted to be disposed away from the opening and an opposite second or rear surface adapted to face the opening. An antenna element, such as a dipole or loop, engages the front surface of the cover plate or is disposed between the front and rear surfaces. A connector is electrically interconnected with the antenna element.

A control system utilizes a multiplex communication system for switchably operating power windows, power seats, power door locks, power mirrors, accessory lighting, etc. Switches mounted on the driver door and elsewhere communicate with a door-mounted microcomputer, which scans the state of each switch, prioritizes the requests, and issues commands in accordance with algorithms to control the windows, door locks, etc. The system has three modes of operation: Asleep, Active, and Awake. In the Asleep mode electrical power consumption is very small, and only a selected few input sesors are periodically monitored as to status. If a door handle is lifted or other action starts, the system changes to an Active mode, in which many more sensors are periodically scanned, and most output motors can be operated. In the Awake mode, windows can also be operated.

A method of maintaining and controlling a plurality of wireless light fixtures includes providing the light fixtures in a structure, wirelessly receiving respective operational data from each of the light fixtures at a central location, aggregating the received respective operational data to form an aggregation of operational data, and analyzing at least a portion of the aggregation of operational data. The method further includes performing one or both of (i) controlling the operation of a first selected one or more of the light fixtures based on a result of the analyzing step by wirelessly transmitting respective operational commands from the central location to each of the first selected one or more of the light fixtures, and (ii) causing a maintenance related action to be taken with respect to each of a second selected one or more of the light fixtures based on a result of the analyzing step.
