    • A system and method are disclosed for providing fail-safe operation of an occupancy sensor so that a load associated with the sensor will be energized in the event that the sensor malfunctions. Short voltage pulses are applied to a signal line by an occupancy sensor. A load control device recognizes the pulses as an indication that the sensor is in a healthy condition. If the load control device does not recognize the voltage pulses, it assumes the sensor is faulty and energizes the load (light) associated with the monitored space. The voltage pulses are different from the normal signals sent by the sensor to the load control device that indicate an “occupied” condition of the space. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
    • 公开了一种用于提供占用传感器的故障安全操作的系统和方法,使得在传感器发生故障的情况下,与传感器相关联的负载将被通电。 短路电压脉冲由占用传感器施加到信号线。 负载控制装置将脉冲识别为传感器处于健康状态的指示。 如果负载控制装置无法识别电压脉冲,则假设传感器发生故障,并为与监视的空间相关联的负载(光)通电。 电压脉冲不同于传感器发送到负载控制装置的正常信号,指示空间的“占用”状态。 描述和要求保护其他实施例。

    • A multi-zone daylight harvesting method and apparatus having a closed loop system utilizing a single light sensor is disclosed herein. This light control system includes an ambient light sensor connected to a detection circuit for detecting the amount of ambient light within a given zone and converting the light signal to an digital one. A control device couples to receive a predetermined rate of change for each respective zone from a storage unit along with the converted digital signal. The control device connects each zone of a plurality of electrical loads to control the power supplied to the electrical load at the predetermined corresponding rate of change and responsive to the amount of ambient light detected.

    • 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.
    • 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。

    • 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.
