摘要:
Systems and methods for providing network connectivity and remote monitoring, optimization, and control of pool/spa equipment are provided. "Internet-of- Things" (IoT) functionality is provided for pool and spa equipment in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Network connectivity and remote monitoring/control of pool and spa equipment is provided by various components such as a network communication and local control subsystem installed in pool/spa equipment, and other components. Also disclosed are various control processes ("pool logic") which can be embodied as software code installed in any of the various embodiments of the present disclosure.
摘要:
The disclosure provides various methods and apparatuses for obtaining data. A method includes positioning the apparatus (102, 402) in proximity to a point of interest (POI), wherein an extension portion (116, 416) of the apparatus extends towards the POI. The method also includes providing power to a sensor (122, 422) via the extension portion (116, 416), and receiving data from the sensor (122, 422) via the extension portion (116, 416). The sensor (122, 422) may be detached from or attached to the apparatus (102). The data may be received via a wired or wireless connection (204). The power may be provided via a wired or wireless connection (204). The method may also include moving the extension portion (116, 416) further towards the POI after positioning the apparatus (102) in proximity to the POI. The method may also include retracting the extension portion (116, 416) after receiving the sensor data or after expiration of a time period during which no data is received from the sensor (122, 422). The apparatus (102) may be an autonomous drone.

摘要:
The invention relates a system for providing information about installation quality of load elements (30). Performance of power distribution systems, such as Power- over-Ethernet (PoE) systems, is depending on the overall system installation performance like quality of the connections (10) between power control devices (20) (e.g. PoE switches) and the powered load elements (30) (e.g. luminaires), Cat5/6 cable quality, cable type, length of the cables, aging of the connections, etc. The proposed system is able to provide feedback and to judge system installation performance at t=0 and over time.
摘要:
Ein Energieversorgungssystem (2), mit einem ersten Energieversorgungsnetzwerk (4) in Form eines Stromnetzes (36) zum Transport von elektrischer Energie (46) und einem zweiten Energieversorgungsnetzwerk (6) mit einem Transportsystem (60) für fluide Betriebsstoffe (56), umfasst mindestens eine Energieerzeugungseinheit (8), mit der mit elektrischer Energie und kohlenstoffhaltigem Material (50, 54, 58) die fluiden Betriebstoffe erzeugbar und ins zweite Energieversorgungsnetzwerk einspeisbar sind, und mindestens eine lokale Energiemanagementeinheit (10), mit der aus dem zweiten Energieversorgungsnetzwerk entnommene fluide Betriebstoffe in elektrische Energie umwandelbar (74, 76, 78) und in ein lokales Stromnetz (90) einspeisbar sind. Das zweite Energieversorgungsnetzwerk (6) weist ein Transportsystem (62) auf für den Rücktransport von kohlendioxidhaltigen Restgasen (58), die bei der energetischen Verwertung der fluiden Betriebstoffe (56) bei einem oder mehreren Energieverbrauchern (11) und/oder Energiemanagementeinheiten (10) anfallen.
