    Abstract: An automated window mechanism is disclosed having an electric motor attached to a sliding panel of a window configured to open and close the window by moving the sliding panel. The electric motor has a locked state in which the electric motor and sliding panel are stationary. The automated window mechanism also includes a monitor configured to detect an external force applied to the sliding panel while the electric motor is in the locked state. In response to the monitor identifying the external force while the electric motor is in the locked state the electric motor opposes the external force to prevent unwanted movement of the sliding panel. A method and system for preventing unwanted movement of an automated window are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The invention is an automated window mechanism having an electric motor attached to a sliding panel of a window configured to open and close the window by moving the sliding panel. The electric motor has a locked state in which the electric motor and sliding panel are stationary. The automated window mechanism also includes a monitor configured to detect an external force applied to the sliding panel while the electric motor is in the locked state. In response to the monitor detecting the external force while the electric motor is in the locked state the positive lead and the negative lead to a same electric potential thereby rendering the electric motor an electric brake impeding the external force from moving the sliding panel. A method and system for preventing unwanted movement of an automated window are also disclosed.

    Abstract: In a first aspect, the invention is a system for sharing power among interconnected tools and is made up of multiple battery-powered tools, each with a battery. A processor is associated with each tool and its battery. Each tool, its battery, and associated processor is electrically and communicatively connected to each other. The tools, their battery and associated processor are adapted to communicate with each other in order to provide charging current to each battery, to monitor the charge level of each battery and to direct current from one battery with a higher charge level to another battery with a lower charge level. Preferably, the system is also adapted to enable power to be directed to corded electric tools.

    Abstract: The invention is a method for intelligent current limiting enabling chaining of electrical appliances. Different embodiments apply to alternating current (AC) appliances, direct current (DC) appliances, and a combination of each. In each embodiment, current limits control the number of appliances that can be connected in the chain. If current limits are exceeded, current-limiting devices cut power to one or more of the appliances. Each appliance in the system has conductors with the capacity to carry a current load at least as large as the overall current limit. Preferably, the appliances in the system are garage appliances that are mounted to an overhead track system in a garage, where electrical outlets are scarce.
