摘要： An occupancy sensing system includes a vacate input to cause the system to turn lights on without substantial delay when a monitored space becomes occupied after turning the load off in response to the vacate input. A special vacate input may be eliminated by determining, in response to a manual-off input, if the space has been vacated. A dead time may be included to prevent the lights from being turned back on by movement that is detected as occupants vacate the monitored space after pressing a vacate or manual-OFF button.
摘要翻译：占用感测系统包括空出输入，以在响应于空出输入关闭负载后，当被监视的空间被占用时，导致系统无需实质的延迟来打开灯。如果空间已经腾出，可以通过确定手动关闭输入来确定特殊的空位输入。可以包括死区时间，以防止通过在按下空出或手动关闭按钮之后被占用者腾出监视空间的移动而被转回。

摘要： A method for defining an area of interest or a trip line using a camera by tracking the movement of a person within a field of view of the camera. The area of interest is defined by a path or boundary indicated by the person's movement. Alternatively, a trip line comprising a path between a starting point and a stopping point may be defined by tracking the movement of the person within the camera's field of view. An occupancy sensor may be structured to sense the movement of an occupant within an area, and to adjust the lighting in the area accordingly if the occupant enters the area of interest or crosses the trip line. The occupancy sensor includes an image sensor coupled to a processor, an input facility such as a pushbutton to receive input, and an output facility such as an electronic beeper to provide feedback to the person defining the area of interest or the trip line.
摘要翻译：一种通过跟踪摄像机视野内的人的移动来定义感兴趣区域或使用照相机的跳闸线的方法。感兴趣的区域由人的运动指示的路径或边界定义。或者，可以通过跟踪在相机的视野内的人的移动来定义包括起始点和停止点之间的路径的跳闸线。占用传感器可以被构造为感测乘员在区域内的移动，并且如果乘客进入感兴趣区域或越过行程线，则相应地调整该区域中的照明。占用传感器包括耦合到处理器的图像传感器，诸如用于接收输入的按钮的输入设备，以及诸如电子蜂鸣器的输出设备，以向定义感兴趣区域的人或跳闸线提供反馈。

摘要： A system and method are disclosed for dimming light emitting diode (LED) lamps. A control unit is coupled to a dimmer and LED lamp. The dimmer receives power from an AC source and determines a phase angle of the AC power. The dimmer provides DC power to the lamp based on the phase angle. The control unit sends a control signal to the dimmer during a first portion of each half sine-wave of the received AC power. The control signal causes the dimmer to modify at least one function of the lamp. A plurality of LED lamps may be associated with a single dimmer, and the dimmer may individually instruct the lamps to modify their operational characteristics. The dimmer may send an operational signal back to the control unit. The operational signal may represent end of life information for the associated LED lamp. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
