Abstract:
A system may be provided for limiting false detections of occupancy caused by air flow. The system may include control unit and sensors that detect motion in one or more areas, where the control unit and the sensors are connected by a network. The control unit may determine that the area or areas are unoccupied, and autotune parameters of the sensors so that the sensors indicate that the area or areas are unoccupied.

Abstract:
A method of setting up a genset system (10) for operation includes selecting one of a plurality of different sensors (30) to monitor an operating parameter of a genset system (10), and coupling the selected sensor (30) with a data processor (16) of the genset system (10). The method further includes configuring the data processor (16) for processing inputs from the selected sensor (30), for example an optional replacement sensor (30), by entering custom sensor calibration data for the selected sensor (30) and recording the custom sensor calibration data on at least one computer writable medium (36) of a control system (17) for the genset system (10). A genset system (10) includes a combustion engine (14), a generator (12), a set of standard sensors (25, 26), and a control system (17). The control system (17) includes a data processor (16) configured to receive and process inputs from custom sensors (30), and includes a computer writable medium (36) for storing custom sensor calibration data.
Abstract:
During robot operation, a CPU (22) of a sensor unit (10) transmits the sensor output of a sensor (15) to a robot CPU (12) during a transmission period within a control period. During the remaining reception period within the control period, the robot CPU (22) transmits update parameters to the robot CPU (12). The CPU (22) receives these update parameters, and writes them in a second region, among the storage regions of a RAM (16), which is different from a first region in which the default parameters are set. And, upon further receipt of a update command from the robot CPU (22), the CPU (22) performs processing to change over the parameters from the default to the update parameters which have been stored in the second region.
Abstract:
A digital physical parameter sensing network having a communication bus (18) and a plurality of nodes (12) connected to the bus (18) for communicating with a central computer (10) through sensors under control of a central computer (10) to measure factors such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, filter efficiency at numerous locations in a system such as a water treatment plant. Each sensor is precalibrated with voltage offset information, sensitivity variations, corrections for non linear behavior stored in memory at the sensor. All sensors generate corrected voltage signals confirming with the measured physical parameter so that any sensor can be replaced without requiring recalibration.
