摘要： A multi-level automation control architecture, methods, and systems are disclosed, which provide enhanced scalability, functionality, and cost effectiveness for energy, access, and control. The systems include various combinations of automation controllers, remote controllers and peripheral devices that are used to provide monitoring and control functionality over the various systems in a structure, such as HVAC, water, lighting, etc. In various embodiments, the automation controller and various peripheral devices are implemented to provide an integrated energy management system for the structure. The system allows the user to manage energy based on the day, time, the presence of people, and the availability of natural lighting and heating, as well as prioritize and participate in demand-response program. The system can be implemented using a remote controller and expanded through the addition of automation controllers, remote controllers, and peripheral devices to enable the system to be tailored to specific user requirements.

摘要： Systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed that provide for provisioning optical systems such that information is transmitted to a destination on a wavelength allocated to carry information to that destination and at a bit rate particular to the destination. The optical system provides for high bit rate transmission over short spans of the optical system, while provisioning lower bit rates for use over longer spans of the system. In addition, the optical system can be provisioned such that wavelengths that have lower optical fiber transmission loss are allocated for transmission of information over greater distances and/or at higher transmission rates.
