Technical Field
The invention relates to N cascaded Intelligent Support Boxes (ISBs), which support plug-in devices into a given ISB by means of a driven < cut-off light button > (beam), linked to home automation, also called (controller) or (PC), by means of Plastic Optical Fibers (POF).
Background
1-N cascaded beam devices are linked within each cascaded ISB and each beam device is configured as set to identify each individual beam key, match a given command by beam touch, as a device for supporting a given home automation device or a given wearable device for supporting hearing impaired and other disabled persons.
Each cascading plug-in device is self-addressed from 1-N with an input or removal action/state, and all details of each device are set individually by the (PC) in combination with the first to last given touch surface and/or all surfaces belonging to all ISBs within each cascading entry. The first line segment is cascaded to the location of the first cascaded ISB and the location of the last POF cascaded ISB through the egress access link through the first ISB link.
Many elderly tenants living in automated homes now need and/or will need or require "better" hearing aid systems (i.e. have self-control), such as "things" like wearable devices, for future life. Home households need to operate lights and curtains through wearable touch keys. The invention also relates to one of generating a single cut-off and a cascade cut-off of a beam touch key driver. The contacts are necessary for the operation of the hybrid and/or combination switch.
Beam drivers, alone or in any combination of switches, are not well known. Supported by the hybrid switch and circuit disclosed in us patent 10,586,671.
Description of the Prior Art
Switches and relays for switching electrical appliances (e.g., water heaters, air conditioners, heaters, lamps and any other electrical devices and appliances in homes, offices, public buildings, businesses, restaurants and factories) are well known.
Well known relays and switching devices for home automation are typically installed in a main electrical cabinet or sub-electrical cabinet of a given house. The installed switches and/or relays operate via bus, RF, or via control signals propagated via AC wires.
The cost of upgrading existing known automation devices and relays, including their installation, is very high, since the electrical wiring must be changed from its standard usual wiring and systems, where the power is fed through usual installations (switches) in the electrical wall boxes.
This is in sharp contrast to direct feeding from a main or sub electrical cabinet through a relay. In order to control the relays in the electrical cabinets, the standard switches commonly used are replaced by control switches, which propagate electrical signals, RF signals, AC wire signals and in some cases IR signals in the open air in line of sight to reach and operate the control circuits of the relays in the electrical cabinets.
Such fundamental changes in the electrical system being constructed become overly complex, expensive, and the complexity is responsible for the repeated occurrence of serious faults in the installed electrical automation system. Furthermore, the known home automation devices do not report the power consumed by the individual appliances and do not provide the homeowner with available data for reporting statistics to the "smart grid" that has not yet been born.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,649,727 introduces a new concept whereby a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relay is connected to a commonly used SPDT switch or Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) switch, which enables switching of appliances or lamps manually through commonly installed switches and remotely through a home automation controller. SPDT and DPDT switches are also referred to as bi-directional or four-directional switches, respectively.
The cited us patent discloses in further detail reporting the power consumed by the appliance by means of a relay or by means of an AC outlet and plug or by means of a current consuming adapter. The current consumption or power consumption report is transmitted directly or via a command converter via optical signals through plastic fiber optic cables called POFs or lightguides, via IR or RF in the open air, and via electrical signals through bus lines or other networks.
The U.S. and other national patents listed below disclose the addition or combination of individual SPDT or DPDT switches and/or power jacks and/or current sensing adapter combinations, which basically teach advanced residential and other building automation.
However, there is a need for a single automation device that includes a combination of switches and relays (including sensing, computing and reporting power consumption circuitry), is configured within the size and shape of current commonly used AC switches at a lower cost than current automation devices, and provides further ease and simplicity of installation.
Well known trim panels, frames and key covers are injection molded from plastic materials of different colors, shapes and sizes or from glass keys and frames as disclosed in U.S. patent 9,608,418. A support frame for a flexible AC wiring device is disclosed in us patent 9,219,358.
Further, U.S. patent No. 7,453,686,7,461,012,7,639,907,7,649,727,7,864,500,7,973,647,8,041,221,8,117,076,8,148,921,8,170,722,8,175,463,8,269,376,8,331,794,8,331,795,8,340,527,8,344,668,8,384,249,8,441,824,8,442,792,8,453,332,8,594,965,8,596,174,8,639,465,8,742,892,8,930,158,9,018,803,9,036,320,9,219,358,9,257,251,9,281,147,9,541,911,9,608,418,9,684,921,9,684,922,9,684,923,10,225,005,10,313,141,10,586,671,10,686,535,10,797,476,10,840,686,10,840,687,11,031,760,11,239,641, discloses a home automation control, connection, smart jack, hybrid switch, relay and accessory for operating an appliance through additional devices such as SPDT and DPDT relays, or current consumption sensors, RFID tags for identifying loads and operating an appliance through hybrid switches (including mechanical or magnetic lock hybrid switches). None of the prior devices disclosed disclose the elements, structures, or operations of the present application.
Disclosure of Invention
The present application relates in many aspects to dual unrelated items and/or designs. The first is home automation and the other is hearing aid. The present application relates to at least one of beam light and signals that are straight and curved in one of the visible spectrum range of 380-800 nanometers (nm) and the invisible spectrum range exceeding 800 nm.
Wherein the curved and straight forms are directed through at least one of optical fibers, plastic Optical Fiber (POF) cables, and other transparent elements for "first time since history" propagating at least one of beam light and optical signals (selected from the group consisting of receiving, transmitting, linking, unlinking, controlling, propagating, applying actions, commands, operating, and reporting data) related to data expected and acted upon by at least one associated device, e.g., equivalent to switching bulbs and/or reporting changes in light status or color, including power drawn via measured and programmed power outlets.
The CPU and/or home controller acts on the beam during a very short "off time" to produce an "unprecedented" floating response, based on which the CPU and/or home controller (PC) responds by acting or by a wearable device to assist the hearing aid device and other health difficulties.
There is no known prior art suggestion of the ability to link and unlink (connect and disconnect) or switch bulbs by cutting off the propagating beam light and/or light signals.
The optical switch of the hybrid lamp introduced "first time from history", driven by the lamp switch to extend at least one of optical and physical links and links, is first time from history by one of the Intelligent Support Box (ISB) and the controller by performing actions on the various elements of the beam driver and on data grouped into "unprecedented" data programmed, fed and stored by the ISB and home automation (PC) and/or (controller) by one of the ISB and the controller responding optically through the optical cascade grid and commanding to a given address.
The simplicity of operating the switch by one of the straight and curved wearable devices enables expansion to different fields, for example the introduction of users from adjusting hearing aid devices and elements by touching "buttons/decorations" or "surfaces" of shirts, undergarments or other wearable devices with fingers. The self-control of the auditory state is provided by a finger tapping an optical switch of a given lamp.
Fig. 1A shows a conventional prior and current wiring device in the art that requires and individually connects wires to electrical equipment terminals, including wires mounted to a frame, wherein the frame is mounted to a wall and into a known electrical wall box.
Fig. 1B shows hearing aid devices and elements via cable and wireless (as explained separately) links designed to amplify speech, music and other propagated signals and noise.
Removing the electrical wiring device for repair or replacement is a less complex but time-consuming process. The steps of first removing the surrounding decorative frame, then removing the frame from the box, then disconnecting the wires from the equipment terminals, disconnecting the device from the frame, and reinstalling a new replacement equipment.
Reinstallation of replacement equipment requires a reverse process that is also less complex, but requires time to complete. In this sense, the time is much higher than the cost of the device itself. Furthermore, removal and installation must be performed by licensed electrical professionals, rather than by users of the system.
Decorative panels or frames surrounding switches, relays and AC outlets, including decorative keys for switching appliances (e.g., lights, hot water boilers, air conditioners, heaters, curtains and any other electrical equipment and appliances in homes, offices, public buildings, businesses, hotels, restaurants, factories, etc.), are well known.
U.S. patent 9,219,358,9,608,418 and 10,225,005, hereinafter 358', 418' and 005', are further incorporated herein by reference to disclose details in particular.
A smart support box (ISB) mounted into the electrical wallbox, wherein the wiring device is attached to and/or into the ISB by a plug-in action. The locking element of the ISB and the illustrated hand tool are disclosed in us patent 10.840.686 for identifying the elements involved in the release and removal process by pressing of the hand tool.
As the demand for home automation continues to expand, there is a need to replace and introduce "easier to install, set up and remove" equipment, and/or to change the appearance of frames and keys, whether simple color changes or other building requirements.
The other major element of importance of each ISB is the introduction of Universal Serial Bus (USB), which is a well-known device and term for cloud storage of PCs (personal computers) and data. Each ISB includes at least one USB for enabling self-setup of the ISB and for enabling self-identification of each beam-switching-off action in a short time (e.g., 0.1 ms). The other ISBs and home controllers are stored and self-reported by each given cut-off through the cascaded POF line.
There is a need for a solution to simplify the installation of ISBs into wall boxes, thereby creating a simpler installation process "insert into box" and communicating the beam touch keys with the home controller through POF access. Smart home control is not possible without a programmable device or PC to operate, control, and most importantly manage the smart home.
Both in the past and in the present there was a need to introduce a simple "pressing procedure" by means of a simple "finger press" onto one of a plurality of finger-pressing devices, or to simplify the pressing onto a given cascade chain of a given ISB. This is true both for the electrical installer and if allowed for the user (tenant) of a given house.
The status and the power consumed by at least one given load, whether a light bulb or any other household appliance, needs to be reported, either driven by the user inserting the load into a given power socket (optically linked socket), or by pressing or touching an "optical key" of an "optical switch" with the user's finger to turn on a given light, and then reporting the power consumed by a cascading chain of keys optically linked to the power socket or (switched).
The introduction of optical switches has led to significant changes in the wiring and interiors of home, office, public and other building units, linking optical commands to each and all loads in each of all units of the building through at least one fiber optic cable directly, i.e., one selected fiber optic cable, through the home controller. By introducing several changes to the ISB and the receptacle, the consumed optical power is reported to follow the same pattern, as described below.
Two important introductions to the structure of ISBs are needed for a smooth reporting of power consumption, so that the combination of horizontally and vertically mounted ISBs is required to be identical.
Wherein all ISBs are converted into a combined smart support box (CISB) to further enable installation of plug-in devices including optical switches in both vertical and horizontal installations CISB.
Where the global power consumption and status report includes the current power plugs of all countries in the world, need to be identically adapted into CISB, whether vertically or horizontally installed.
The introduction of horizontal and vertical ISBs enables the plug-in jack structure to be modified and unifying the plug-in structure of all power jacks and to be identically attached to CISB with vertical and horizontal mounting by modifying existing power jacks to fit the mounting. Additional details of the modifications are disclosed in FIGS. 2B, 3, 4D, 6A-6D, 7-8, 10A-B, 11-16, 17, 18A-B, 19 and more.
Known prior art for driving switches and/or reporting status and consumed power via optical signals is disclosed by applicant in us patent 10,225,005 and in the following us patents: 10,313,141, 10,686,535, 10,797,476, 10,840,687, 11,031,760, 11,239,641, 11,329,463.
None of the above cited patents disclose beam light or cutting off a beam for driving a switch. It is also never suggested to operate a light switch, or in this regard, the hearing device is to be guided, operated or controlled by pressing or touching a wearable key for switching off a beam key linking the device or switch.
None or never suggest a combination of straight or curved beam keys inside the open air or switch and/or curved light inside the switch through a Plastic Optical Fiber (POF). Not near or outside the switch, or touching the wearable keyboard or shirt or anything.
Another new concept in the present disclosure is for using a portion of at least one wearable decorative or wearable surface as a key for switching off at least one beam in a single or multi-beam driver, whether a controller with a CPU or hearing aid device (HRD), or a portion of a person's body or space to support medical state requirements.
A plurality of cut-off lights are provided via the wearable device touch surface or pressing a given soft key and a plurality of cut-off light finger press switches are read by pressing a single finger on a soft button or decoration, the pressing being for self-adjusting or supporting onto or in connection with the wearable surface element. Exhibit remarkable bedridden use and innumerable different medical uses.
The main limitations of current hearing aid devices (HRDs) are crowded tiny circuits and inability to handle surround sound. Current HRD devices cannot be modified by adding devices or by adding RF circuitry and/or control panels linked by wires.
The inventors of the present application-long-term user of the HRD-thank the current HRD's efforts and engineers, but disagree nor accept the current hearing quality.
The inventors have conducted some tests in a noisy atmosphere and surprisingly, especially for elderly people, this direction is clearly a solution we are looking for. The following will not take a long time for the elderly to participate in the test and review their opinion our engineers are waiting for. Because of the commonality of many device elements, it takes time to prepare for production and our management layer decides that we complete the home automation and hearing devices together. The opportunity is prepared to properly generate home automation.
The inventors contemplate that aesthetic surfaces including decorations pressed or touched by a finger will be accepted and employed by potential users. However, whatever is required for self-tuning and setting is a fundamental element applicable to many functions.
The HRD may and should be controlled and set by touching the aesthetic surface with the user's finger, including a beam-type touch key switch for operating multiple touch switches up-down, left-right, and front-back to control the wearable microphone-to start.
The use of POFs in the prior art is well known for use in current extensions, as described in paragraph 1. The known POF is used for communication with automobiles (industry). Or the POF may be operable for a limited short distance (maximum 120 m). Is very suitable for being used in vehicles and/or families. And is a perfect solution to prevent neighbors from hearing what is happening in your home.
Furthermore, the use of the visible/invisible spectrum introduces additional uses. The above listed state reduces the search of the prior art to virtually no one.
358', 418', 005' And other patents listed by the present inventors disclose ISBs, switches and structures for connecting loads through (POF), but do not relate to beam touch key switches, nor do HRDs set or adjusted by finger touches to actuate a given beam touch key switch through, for example, a button/ornament that is not yet known-this is another history for the first time.
With the reasoning above, the applicant believes that a solid foundation is provided for a long series of demands.
Returning to home automation operations and a long series of building devices and systems, and other areas of life with similar needs. Beginning with lighting systems, communications, home control, car control, home parking lots, health facilities, hospitals, businesses, offices, factories, schools, and other facilities.
The above is not applicable to the cited structure of the key and the power socket, and is not inflammable. POF is nonflammable. The AC or/and DC power outlet is non-flammable. The beam touch key switch is nonflammable. Furthermore, the PC is preferably single and no one suggests or demonstrates operating a "beam driver", a novel device, when controlling the units of an entire home, store, office or other disclosed building. Returning now to the hearing aid.
The HRD "speaker" of the present invention is configured to cover the ears and around the ears with a comfortable thin speaker, attached around both ears, a novel support for producing sound and music with amplified audible spectrum to greatly enhance the range and level of speech and music hearing quality to properly accommodate the size and shape of the hearing impaired person.
Applicant is also planning and planning to introduce HRD speakers, which are experimental, into a naturally deaf child. If any test will show a slight positive result, the allocation to hospitals and medical schools will be introduced by the applicant.
In contrast to current sounds fed through tubules having very small diameters and very small sound films, sounds or signals and/or vibrations are received from between the surrounding "tragus" and inside the ear cavity "socket".
HRDs are steadily being modified and improved, however extruded small devices and films for generating sound or music still exist. Regardless of a well-behaved processor, the sound feed is guided over a physically limited bandwidth, which is the result of a predominance of very small (tiny) "loudspeaker" elements.
The above-mentioned small hearing devices with a small microphone size are another major limiting factor. Smaller dimensions often create difficulties for the hearing impaired, especially for the elderly.
The most disturbing failure results are "i don't hear" and "i don't understand". Both the response to distortion and complaints of elderly hearing impaired persons are in the "dark", the "sound dark". This is an unacceptable condition for the hearing impaired.
Another "i don't understand" difficulty is that all around are speaking people-e.g. at restaurants. It is just like a "attack" by a person with background music and talking aloud or a crowded queue waiting near a bus stop, etc.
The inability to understand words and paragraphs of the communication is a major problem. Overcoming this problem by "tiny" sized HRDs is extremely difficult or literally impossible. In addition, other disturbing factors are noise, buzzing of the street (external noise) or internal noise, such as noise of air conditioners and vehicles on the street.
Street noise via rear microphones and front microphones exacerbates the ability of people to separate surrounding noise from conversations, which is the way the human brain operates. The hearing aid procedure needs to be directed in some way towards the intended sound source direction, e.g. left-right, front-back and up-down (L-R, F-R & U-D).
Finger touch may be the best answer that the brain would like to hear for L-R, F-R & U-D. When the finger touches the wearable surface up or down and sideways and the touch point and direction can be well remembered, the plunger can be assisted by a given shaped shape in a given time and can cause the user's brain to follow the finger touch and can let them remember the surround noise and take control of the surround noise … in two ways that are set (i.e., via the microphone and brain).
All generated surround sound, exposed to different sounds and backgrounds, reduces the hearing ability of the hearing impaired to clear sounds within the mixed sound and noise.
For a given sound produced by L-R, F-R & U-D, no directional selection is provided to aid. And because no such known HRD is available, a solution needs to be provided for the hearing impaired.
The only capability provided by the HRDs is the volume in each HRD, not by itself (whether left or right or up and down), nor by reading or controlling the relationship of the noise communicated to the existing hearing level.
Thus, the need for clear hearing involves the introduction of the new and different HRD systems presently disclosed, which among other things may be the right aid to learn and find the appropriate means to bring a naturally deaf infant into our hearing world.
The present application introduces a new HRD device to cope with the problem that hearing aids cannot provide service in a given service office at a given time-contrast finger presses or touches onto a wearable touch area. It is proposed that no participation in the service is required-in fact no external repair and inspection of amplified and processed signals can be improved. Not services that improve the sound of speakers in the nest.
The convenience of self-regulation is demanded in the future. Setting the time of the whole day or night via soft wearable beam touch keys should be an optical system. Setting and controlling various functions by pointing with a finger is a fundamental means of communication between the hands and fingers of the deaf-mute throughout.
To increase-decrease-adjust music and sound, defined "volume" and "pitch" and "surround" and relative sharpness (currently undefined values) are required. Especially when the sharpness varies with the surrounding environment, both never change, regardless of HRD settings.
From sharpness back to both home automation and HRD. As mentioned, the main object of the present invention is to program the beam by introducing a given code or data related to the details of the light, and the light is switched (on or off) using the data in communication with the PC, in order to further instruct via the POF to turn on or off a given bulb, including one of the optical data for processing and transmitting according to the instruction via the cascaded POF optical signal.
This unclear presentation is followed by recording at least one electrical power consumed by at least one device (including lighting) via the cascaded POFs.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new, unprecedented, convenient, elegant wearable cap for a hearing impaired person, covering the head and a single or dual (single or combined) hearing device. At least one pair of circular or oval speakers is included for attachment around the posterior auricle of each ear (fitting the earmuff).
Since the soft and comfortable spongy elastic cover is supported in a circular or elongated (oval) shape "adapted to cover all" loudspeakers, a simple attachment is provided by the soft locking spring. The springs surround the auricles of the left and right ears by gentle compression.
And … … releases the locking spring from the surrounding helix. Wherein both loudspeakers produce sound and musical sound, which can range from below 60 hz to well above kilohertz. The user sets up, sets up self-listening, self-needs and self-shares by oneself.
It is a further object to introduce a plurality of various narrowband to wideband microphones that are positioned with the user's clothing, jacket, decorative shirt or shirt with underwear or with a combination of ties or waistbands or other wearable items. Either fully visible or partially visible to touch a given surface and/or to provide acoustic access to the microphone via a wearable decoration.
Another object is to use a long-term wearable rechargeable battery, for example one week charged, including HRD circuitry for user convenience. Is linked to a belt or tie, or to other parts and/or other surfaces of the wearable device, to provide generation of beam touch keys for beam-breaking signals, and communicates by setting, whether for operation, movement, and reporting, for a given device at home or workplace, or for parking devices and the like.
The beam touch key switch is not an automatically operated light switch. Beam touch key propagation cut-off is directly (and/or through a splitter and/or command converter) to a given ISB and/or to a home controller through a cascaded POF grid.
The home controller directly instructs each power switch to be turned on or off, covering each and all light switches included in the at least one hybrid light box. The hybrid switch may be driven by the CPU of a given ISB. The action commanded by any one of the selected hybrid switches is limited to reversing only a given switch state, i.e., from on to off or off to on.
For a better understanding of the cutting beam, the following explanation may be followed. It is known that a lamp is turned on-off (via switching a live power line) via a mechanical lock into an on or off contact state. Separated from the zero line connection.
In addition to the long list of patents in the united states and other countries regarding devices and circuits for providing solutions for illumination automation, applicant has introduced us patent 10,586,671.
The beam touch keys through a given cascading chain are not individually operated. The cascade beam optical chain of the plurality of cascade chains operates through one of a splitter and a command converter linked to the controller. It is explicitly determined that only a single bulb is required and applied to each cascaded chain powered by N (milliwatts), consumed by the HRD through the dual cascaded POF chain.
Let us return to home automation above.
The same front and rear microphones, including the left-right microphone, are positioned in a configuration, and the front-rear microphone and the up-down microphone may be constructed and commanded by controlling finger touches of the up-down microphone disposed in the microphone positions.
Another, not known to the first introduction, is the link between the light source and the POF channel by the optical (beam) driver through a soft-bending optical POF cable and directly through one of the straight optical link lines. Wherein the beam touch key and the beam signal drive the switch through the controller, which is limited to control through the linked cascade POF, and control through at least one of the CPU and the home controller.
Another object of the present invention is to provide beam light in "air" via one of the internal and external switch bodies to operate by converting the beam driver into action via a command generated by a controller or CPU.
Straight and curved color beam light of 380-800 nm, invisible beam light or signals exceeding 800nm, and curved beam light and signals through fiber optic cables are never known for physically driving the on-off of switching devices by straight or curved beam light within the switch housing and/or within other housings in a cascading chain.

Detailed Description
The applicant starts from the last item of the brief description, fig. 25A and 25B, to introduce a detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
The reason for this is that the world of introducing beam devices that cannot be directly power operated to turn on the lamp switch is wrong. Fig. 25A and 25B may appear to be very important. Some people may see cost issues with blinds and curtains and wish to provide a simple location for a given blind and curtain. This is not provided by the beam device.
It is well known that position indicators are approximate. Or the position is estimated based on calculations of motor rotation and length of time. And motor rotation is an erroneous measurement for calculating the length of the window covering and other details based on the window covering. Longer blinds use thicker rotating coils and, regardless of the measurement, the measurement by the number of rotations is far from or will far from "error free approximation".
On the other hand, creating an appropriate location measurement is an expensive matter for the current home. The same applies to blinds and curtains, preferably approximately. The illustrated fig. 25A and 25B, which did not previously present a solution for identifying window blinds and window blind positions and data, provides an accurate position by introducing rollers for indicating the window blind and window blind position 25-2.
This is by attaching the low cost beam pressing key layer 4D-CU to any position by movement along the motor 25-1 or the roller 25-2. The two CPUs 4D-C1 and C2 at the layer end make the use of only one low cost cord a perfect solution for all curtains and the like.
The ability of POF is obvious because it can cover every area of life. Curtains and blinds exhibit future smell. The assembly of the entire planar POF layers 4D-CUA-CUn is attached to walls or window frames and other locations, with pads of 2mm thickness (examples), connected to the bottom by a CPU in communication with the light receiver, extending to a height of 2-3 m (straight or curved).
The only elements disclosed above; the 2-3 m long planar POF, low cost CPU and low cost light receiver are all elements involved in identifying the position and status of the system installed to identify the position and status of the curtains and/or blinds.
The application covers two objects, home automation and hearing aid based. Both of which respond based on prior art or better existing technology in the past.
It is fully reasonable for each physical beam driver to travel data through the channel at a relatively slow speed (1-3 inches/second). The distance at home is not long. The angle-to-angle distance in any direction will rarely exceed 200 meters (about 7 inches). No matter how slow the communication line is, it takes 0.1 milliseconds for the POF to arrive from point to point. Therefore, any higher home automation speed is paradoxical.
The need for high speed signals can be handled easily within 200 meters (left + right direction) at 400 megas/s by the POF cable.
The problem of illumination is discussed in another part of the application. The experienced switching speed, as explained further, but faster than current light switching speeds, requires 10-20 milliseconds to turn the key on or off by finger-press sliding.
A given objective within this disclosure is to introduce a short "floating optical cut-off" of the propagating "floating" beam light to be received by the beam light or signal receiver. A second object in the above disclosure is that the beam optical receiver receives floating beam light without a + or-base (high-low) reference.
Both beam light and optical signals propagate individually through straight or bent Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) cables, with no floating level to be measured and no reference to AC and/or DC power levels, i.e. the floating beam level is introduced into the optical switch without reference.
The present disclosure further demonstrates home automation and hearing aid devices-including the resulting core technology related to home automation, including IoT and AI devices (transmitting WiFi and other signals), or further including cores of hearing aids with edging.
Where home automation, without a central controller, controls each element and device, including reporting detailed power consumption and all other expected problems with hearing aids of detail …, both in the past and in the present are ambient noise, sound and music facilities, such as clubs and noisy restaurants, including open spaces over-loaded by the surrounding environment, etc …. And little or no measures are taken to support the hearing impaired.
In view of the common difficulties faced by home automation and hearing aids, the inventors have intensively studied many failed attempts, which lead to few, if any, meaningful things. On the other hand, users of hearing devices have never obtained a meaningful way to self-control their devices.
Failed home automation, a solution that requires installation and operation of lighting systems, is expected to be a simple challenge to find new lighting switches (and others). The reality is that a new home market has not been found nor entered.
Solutions to the problems currently involved are not available. It is not a simple press or touch on key, it is desirable that a soft touch key causes "it" to occur.
The hearing aid device is operated and controlled, whether "everything is operated and controlled" at home and/or at certain appliances. Wherever, no time can be achieved by soft pressing. There are different reasons for the severely difficult conditions, but the correction can be done by touching the touch.
It must be agreed that most given households include a total of about 20-30 sockets, 25-35 switches (+ -20%) and up to 50 lights. No gigabit signals or frequencies nor meaningful time units are needed for control or communication in the home. In fact, a signal speed of 1 kilohertz (low sound frequency) will be much lower and more efficient for all signals traveling in the home.
This concept enables the formation of a beam light driver (BLA) that was operated by pressing a soft plunger to cut off beam light to drive the beam light. The beam optical signal is generated by pressing a soft key. Whether low voltage AC or DC fed or finger pressed (no power) onto the beam driver, enables different devices to be turned on-off-on … either by ISB or according to the direction of the home controller.
The beam light for generating the reference is self-set through the ISB, and is directly received by the light emitter, and the action address recorded into the PC and the CPU through the ISB through the cascade POF is included.
The beam light and optical signals are fed into the beam light channel separately or simply introduced into an optical signal receiver included in a given ISB for identifying the attached received commands to operate as a device or element or both. Thus, the beam light driver may be addressed and/or commanded, whether elements, devices or circuits, through the home controller and through the DC link.
The beam light and/or optical signals are insulated from all power lines. Beam light has no direct relation to power in any and all forms.
All available power lines, whether AC or DC and/or battery power, may supply power to the beam lights and/or signals for processing data to and from a home controller (PC). The command signals are fed and transmitted directly by a given PC signal programmed (or to be programmed) as two examples by, for example, an automobile manufacturer or a shopping provider, with an external device (for example, a resident car parked in a parking lot of a building or outdoors) through a link directly included in the home device.
An absolutely safe load and/or illumination (e.g. beam light or signal) should neither be considered as an element nor a device.
Another object of the application is to support one or more central light boxes or (CLCs), each CLC supporting at least one ISB for mounting at least one plug-in hybrid switch, see U.S. patent: 9,036,320;9,257,251;9,928,981; and 10,586,671, which can be used for plug-in installations, provided by a series of ISBs installed in the center and/or other light boxes.
Wherein CLC may be applied to other loads and the signal may be applied to a switch and control AC and/or low voltage DC, including battery operated appliances.
A plurality of beam lights and a light switch, wherein the insulating switch body is or can be linked by DC, AC, straight light, curved light via POF or via beam light or wireless beam light.
The desired unpowered is light fed by LEDs from within the ISBs for generating and feeding beam light and/or light signals for operating the selected unpowered switch with at least one ISB by finger pressing and key pressing.
The processing of the data is done through the joined ISB or by a home controller which feeds command signals internally, externally to a given device and/or directly to the car (within a parking lot of the building) to the resident car or outdoors through a home optical (POF) network or other network.
Light propagating within (inside) a given packaged device cannot be blocked by other light from outside the "device". In contrast to "radio frequency" (RF), where shielding of RF signals is not as simple and may not provide separation from other devices and signals.
When the colors of light are segmented, they can be filtered and assigned to identify multiple colors of light, such as setting and assigning to at least one unit or individual home, and/or at least one unit of a high-rise building, and/or at least one office and other building unit, operating appliances, including internal and/or external devices for signaling and identification.
The light colors and processes are assigned and accessed by the home controller, for example, to encode each beam of light with a given color to be the simplest identification of the touch and address beam light drivers. A first color (e.g., brown) is selected for the entrance area and the given light is, for example, the result of touching the corridor wall.
Easily recognized is the return (back) from the touching (wearable) key and measured in 1-50 ms or 1-N ms/s.
The 1 ms mentioned above is too short for a finger press or any physical action and the CPU within the ISB is set to respond to light exceeding 1 ms. For optical signals, the CPU within the ISB is configured to propagate short "signals" in 1-N milliseconds for addressing a given N megabit device within the ISB or controller through high frequency POF and high speed support.
The propagating light is an absolute safe signal. The brief summary above implies future light control including switching, whereas the "current" application (future) is disclosed herein.
Before proceeding further, the applicant provides the reader with basic terms that the inventors have used to simplify reading, remembering and acting as terms applied to different units, devices, systems and HRDs, which are new to both the field of home automation and HRD.
First, home controllers are the basis for providing support for power lines, lights, ioT and AI devices and details, and ISB "intelligence," including the need to overcome the full range of different devices, lighting and wiring difficulties.
One example is the current power wiring embedded in the walls of a household. All of this is powered by wires led out through wall tubing from electrical cabinets through switches to electrical appliances and lights, whether it be a home, office, restaurant, store, workshop, school or other public facility.
Current lamp switch positions introduce difficulties due to the random distance between all the elements involved, whether the switch, the power cord and the power outlet. The most complex to set up a "system" is the lighting lines, including live (L) and neutral (N).
This complexity is due to the mixed "wall box location". The switch is mounted to the wall box position. Wires leading out for many given lighting locations severely complicate the home lighting setup, see fig. 2A.
The current state requires that the plumbing extend from the main electrical cabinet and through a series of wall boxes, through and into the walls and ceiling, and from the wall boxes to the lights. All this results in very long and complex pipes.
On the other hand, the neutral wire (N) must be pulled together with some live wire (L). The L-line will be installed at the shortest possible pipe, without N-lines, or as the case may be, become as complex and expensive as possible.
The next obstacle is how to automate the on-off mechanism or re-pressing of the light switch driven by the beam light driven by the finger touch or by the finger press.
Existing solutions include magnetic pull or magnetic relays that are too complex and expensive. The only possible solution is that the applicant introduced hybrid switches and circuits, see us patents 10.586.671, 9.928.981, 9.281.147, 9.257.251, 9.219.358 and 9.018.803. See also fig. 10A, 10B, 11 and 12.
Although applicant's hybrid switch discloses a hybrid for home automation, the difficulties of illuminating the power cord still remain.
Supporting the added hybrid switches and circuits requires more space, which is impractical for the lighting industry.
The same applies to curtains and blinds and/or AI and IoT, resulting in little functionality and low value. The wiring is still the most urgent and must be eliminated from the light switch and wall box.
The light and the appliance together require a new pipe to be linked with a new innovation support (POF).
Solutions to the home automation problem require significant/fundamental changes, linked by different elements, for example through cascaded POF segments. ISB power is limited to feeding AC or DC only to the outlet and not to old switches that have been in use for many years.
The management of beam light and cascading signals through wall boxes (including devices and appliances) within a cascading chain by home controllers through optical signals is a significant change.
Soft bent POF cables are more easily pulled or torn. The POF is terminated by a knife sharp cut. POF is supported by a full range of hand-held testers, hand tools or other components for simple severing and insertion by hand pushing without impact. Some of which are disclosed in U.S. patent 10,225,005, 10,313,141, 10,586,671, 10,686,535, 10,797,476, 10, 840,686, 11031760, 11,239,641, 11,329,463.
The above paragraphs were introduced to illustrate the simplicity and difficulty of establishing a agreed upon system to include those that we consider to be simple. The above only proves that the past illumination simplicity has always been wrong.
As mentioned above, the main subject matter within the home electrical grid is the extraction of the lighting lines, the need for a solution that solves the difficulties of the power lines, and the elimination of the complexity, in particular of the switches and terminals, as mentioned above and further illustrated in some detail.
Live and neutral (L & N) are the requisite power feeds for the bulb. Only the live line L has to be led out to the bulb via the pipe and the switch.
At least one light and switch is located in each room or area of the home or unit, any unit of the building.
The zero line N is fixedly led out through the pipeline but not to the switch.
To cut off and simplify the illumination line, the applicant points to the us patent: 9,036,320;9,257,251;9,928,981; and 10,586,671-the only available mechanically latching hybrid switch and circuit … and further introducing beam light drivers (BLA) into the automated cascade illumination grid by forming a simplified cascade grid system. The illumination power supply lines are eliminated from the cascaded ISBs.
The AC or DC power cord is limited to power through the outlet, fig. 6A-8. The hybrid switch is provided and installed into at least one wall light box operated by the home controller, see fig. 10 to 12. Providing power keys for all individual hybrid switches, enabling switching of any and all home lights is a perfect solution for illumination in the event of a system failure.
In short, the complexity of widely illuminated conduit lines leading out through many conduits and through wall boxes is a history of forgetting.
The power lines L and N required to power the light bulbs and the hybrid switch are fed directly from the main power cabinet to one or more light boxes. The N-wires are connected in a cascade chain by several pipes and the L-wires are connected by N-pipes and/or any given local stub.
The tubing previously used to pull the wires into and out of the wall box, connecting the AC wires to the light switch, is no longer needed. The L and N lines within the ISB are used to feed and measure the power consumed through the AC outlet. The use of prior art lamp switches is not suggested in the present application.
The separation of AC lines from neutral requires input-output complex wires, pipes and wall boxes, which are why multiple pipes, excavation, and no automation were required in the past and now. The current BLAs turn home automation into reality by cascading POFs and home controllers in combination with hybrid switches.
Lamp connection via power lines and switches has become a history. The hybrid switch is remotely operated by key depression. For a better understanding of the lighting circuits and solutions, see fig. 10A-12 and U.S. patent 10686535.
First, a hybrid switch is a necessity to accomplish remote operation of all lights for each given new household.
Only a hybrid switch or circuit is able to connect the power supply from one central point to all lamps through a limited pipe. Enabling the home controller to make calls through a given beam or by beams allocated by a given ISB and to drive the lights by the light box in milliseconds and/or by programmed BLAs.
Suitable automation directs replacement of the current lamp switch with a beam light driver (BLA). Referring to fig. 10A-12, how the hybrid switch connects the light boxes along the power lines, feeds from the electrical cabinet as planned, or is shown as being turned on or off by the controller and all beam light drivers by the hybrid switch with inserting BLAs into as many ISB groups as possible for igniting any and all of the many lights of the residential setting.
The only power directly drawn by the ISB is to power all appliances and devices (including portable lights) through the power outlet. No illumination power line is led directly from the ISB.
Another object is introduced wherein the lighting power cable is removed entirely, except for the power socket, resulting in savings in material, time, installation and operating costs of the household lamp.
The term "DC jack" refers to a low voltage jack or low voltage communication jack, including a feeder for low voltage power supplies for an operator networking (IoT), artificial Intelligence (AI), sensors, processors, communicators and/or controllers.
The DC is operated by an AC-DC converter circuit included in the ISB, by terminals or given specific internal structures or connectors.
Each DC outlet is compatible with "attachable devices", whether sized to match a single group or multiple groups, and is referred to hereinafter and/or in the claims as a "standard plug-in outlet".
The "attachable device" or "standard plug-in socket" may be contradictory to the references of the presently used AC switch or prior art AC socket that are similar, smaller or larger as disclosed. This is known and referred to hereinafter and in the claims as a "standard size AC switch or socket".
The terms "standard switch" and/or "standard socket" are referred to as known wiring devices that are mounted directly into "standard electrical wallboxes". For example, a 2x4 "or 4x4" wall box known in the united states, or other square or rectangular electrical boxes such as a 60mm circular european electrical wall box or used in europe, uk, australia or china or other countries and regions.
The terms "standard plug-in switch" and/or "standard plug-in socket" (also referred to as the above-mentioned socket) and/or "standard plug-in socket" or "standard plug-in device" supported by the support frame and the box including connection to the AC power cord through the plug-in terminals are referred to as "standard plug-in AC device" hereinafter and in the claims.
The terms defined above are required to avoid confusion and misunderstanding of the locking and releasing actions of the present invention.
These terms cannot be equated to known wiring device assemblies that are mounted into wall boxes by different means, none of which are attached or released by plug insertion and lock the body of the device and its terminals by insertion action, and none of which are manually released and removed by a single simple action.
The term "standard plug-in AC switch" referred to throughout the application and claims refers to any switch semiconductor, or electromechanical, or manually operated switch element or combination element, such as a hybrid switch, manual switch, and any combination thereof, packaged in a size and shape suitable for a support frame, and including at least two ramp channels and an inlet for insertion of a release lever.
The term "standard plug-in AC socket" referred to throughout the application and claims refers to any known national and type AC jack, whether a two-pin or three-pin plug, with or without a ground terminal, with or without an internal removable safety cover for any known given safety standard, enclosed in a housing size that occupies at least two sets of space and four of said "ramp channels" and inlets for four or more release levers.
The term "standard plug-in device" or "standard plug-in housing" referred to throughout the application and claims is at least one device or housing selected from the group consisting of a switching device, a socket device, a communication connector, an IoT device, an AI device, and combinations thereof, and thus is packaged in a size and shape suitable for a support frame and a box, comprising at least two ramp channels and an inlet for at least two release levers.
The term "attachable device" as referred to throughout the application and claims is at least a dual group device selected from the group consisting of a switching device, a socket device, a communication connector, an IoT device, an AI device, and combinations thereof, enclosed in a housing having a size and shape that fits a given set of ramp channels.
The entire series of different 2-N sets were equipped with "standard release levers". The new group is built up in size and structure for mounting one of a single and a plurality of given plug-in devices or given plug-in AC switches and AC sockets which differ in the number of groups without being different in the basic principle of mounting the plug-in by the plug-in action and which are released in the same process of insertion into push-in and insertion into release, and then pulled and removed. The release lever disclosed above is a molded lever made of a hard plastic material that is rigid and durable. Some installers and users may prefer to use metal to release and pull the element (available). Another release and removal lever may take the form of a rope pull of both plastic and metal levers. See U.S. patent 10840686 for more details.
The above unifies the structure and architectural decoration of an extended range of "wiring devices", whether AC power, DC power, PCs and peripherals, audio, TV, ioT (internet of things), AI (artificial intelligence), and combinations thereof, all packaged in a "standard plug-in device" that is measured in group sizes, e.g., half-group, single-group, or "n" group.
The term "jack" is used hereinafter and in the claims to refer to an extended range including AC or DC power jacks, as well as other wall-mounted PC and peripheral connectors, telephone connectors, audio connectors, TV antenna connectors, cable television connectors, and other connectors for connecting AC or DC appliances, including extended support frames and ISBs.
The term "planar socket surface" or "planar switch surface" or "touch screen surface" means that the socket or switch key has a planar front surface that is aligned with the entire planar panel, including the decorative frame surface and further including the surface of the plug-in touch screen device having the dimensions of the socket or switch key and the planar surface or having the planar surface of the entire panel including the decorative frame.
Another important practical object of the present invention is to provide lower cost trim panels, frames and key covers for a given hybrid switch and power outlet installed into a given (ISB), as disclosed in us patent 9,219,358.
The term "hybrid switch" refers hereinafter and in the claims to one of the relay/switch combinations and mechanical latching relays for electrical automation systems disclosed in the referenced U.S. patent having a front surface and body size and shape, including the same touch panel as the receptacle and/or hybrid switch, see U.S. patent 10586671.
The term "standard size and shape" is another object achieved by the present invention to provide a hybrid switch with a structure that can be fitted with different key levers (e.g., push-to-talk keys and pan keys) and a degree of freedom of choice to select any of a wide variety of lever and trim cover and frame sizes including various designs and colors that are available and regularly introduced to the building/electrical industry by different switch manufacturers and that can be defined as a given socket having half-width dimensions or a socket having twice the width dimensions of a given "flat key".
A "planar key" is another object, which in the following and in the claims refers to a planar key of a hybrid switch operated by pressing on the entire key surface, as well as one or more planar keys of a manual, toggle or rocker switch operated by pressing on an indication area of the pressed key.
The following objects are receptacle cabinet housings having the same planar surface and height as the AC receptacle housings, including the combination switch presently disclosed in fig. 9A-9B, with fig. 9A-9B showing and disclosing modified double set housing sizes and shapes.
Fig. 9A shows a plug-in double-group combination switch in the ISB of the current modification. Fig. 9B shows a block diagram of a newly introduced combination circuit switch employing a known device.
Wherein the body structure has a standard insert of a currently modified size and shape into the locking/guiding element, a height and a given double set width. The double set of "widths" is the dimension of two single sets of widths side by side. Whether it is a tap operated switch or any other on/off press switch, is switched from on to off and from off to on.
The combination tact switch may be wearable for use with a hearing aid system. Especially when a finger tap may not be suitable for future operation, e.g. a user applying a light force may need to switch by means of a toggle or tap switch
Yet another object is that the double set of receptacles shown in fig. 7, 8 and 13, 14, 15 and 16 cover a new modified different AC global receptacle that is constructed using an improved and simplified inner housing, terminals and outer box. Including an internal safety slide in which all elements and internal components are constructed as an internal and external integrated structure without using one screw or are inserted into a socket or ISB with a socket without a screw.
The referenced figures 7-16 illustrate the housing, inner housing portion, housing internal terminals and self-locking power terminal contacts.
Fig. 17 shows the ease of insertion by plugging in various sockets and various plug-in light switches (whether horizontally or vertically plugged into the ISB).
To the applicant's knowledge, fig. 18A discloses two assembled contacts 18a.1 and 18a.2+3 employing power securing terminals 18a.12 and 18a.13, planar jack contacts supporting two receptacles for (the first time from the history) engaging two planar plugs of a load with two receptacle jacks.
Figures 18a.4-18a.6 illustrate circular configuration receptacles for circular pins used in the united states or europe and other countries. The designs and processes shown in fig. 18a.4-18 a.16 and 18 a.7-18 a.11 are known as metal articles and the details provided need not be explained. It is important to demonstrate and explain that the plug-in socket of the present invention is novel and unique.
The term "standard size and shape" in connection with the present invention and claims is used as a reference to the size and shape of a single switch, hybrid switch, relay or touch pad (e.g., a single touch pad) and other accessories having a single device (e.g., a smart IoT device).
The terms "group" and "single group" are defined as the standard shape and size of a given switching device or operating device for at least one given appliance. A single group occupies a single installation space within the ISB. For one or more given appliances, a "single set of touch keys" may include two or more touch keys, icons.
The term "duplex" has a size and shape for a lead-in receptacle device (e.g., at least one AC receptacle for any known receptacle in any given country or region). Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the "double set" occupies a double installation space within the support box. A double set of AC outlets may combine two AC jacks, while a single set of switches may provide SPST (single pole single throw), SPDT (single pole double throw), DPST (double pole single throw) and DPDT (double pole double throw) switching devices.
"Multiple sets of devices" are defined as devices that occupy three or more sets of space of an ISB, including but not limited to AI (artificial intelligence) or IoT (internet of things) devices that have complex circuitry and/or sensors and/or N optical and/or RFID portals that need to enter the ISB, or that require the ISB to have different optical or RFID signal bandwidths, requiring different optical transceivers and/or RFID antennas.
It should be noted that plug-in devices (whether switches or sockets) are applied differently. Wherein the switch may be inserted horizontally into the vertically installed ISB or vertically into the horizontally installed ISB.
The receptacle itself may be inserted into any shape as long as its front (jack insert) is properly inserted for both horizontally and vertically mounted ISBs.
With this limitation, the present application shows (for both versions of AC outlet) that any device can be plugged into the plug-in receptacle (whether horizontally mounted or vertically mounted ISB) according to the correct design. Further, similar modifications may be applied to ISBs to enable selected sockets and switches to be plugged into a given ISB (whether horizontally or vertically mounted).
For such applications, an ISB of square or rectangular configuration (not shown) may also be constructed to accommodate any such vertical and/or horizontal device, whether it be a switch, socket, IOT, AI, curtain, shutter controller or any other device for operating appliances and/or devices within a home, office or unit of a given other building.
The double dimensions enable the applicant to maintain and connect vertically and horizontally mounted ISBs without any need for modification. These changes require the reconfiguration of all nations' outlets (over 20 types) which applicant believes are the unique project structure of the patent shown in figures 14A/B, 15A/B, 16 and 17. This requires the socket of the inside and outside structure to be a proprietary item.
The introduction of only horizontal and/or vertical plug-in power outlets has enabled the design and assembly of the working plug-in electrical grid elements (outlets and switches) for the first time as if it were a game of happy. The term "music book" refers to a well-known cube play structure.
ISBs as disclosed in us patent 9,219,358 communicate between chains of cascaded ISBs via POFs or other "fiber optic cables," which are recited in the claims as including RF antennas. Practical limitations on optical or RF signals are due to electrical and architectural regulations prohibiting the introduction of low voltage copper wires between or in wall boxes that include ISBs mixed with AC live or neutral or electrical wires.
POF is a flame retardant and perfect insulator and is allowed to blend with AC electrical appliances and AC power lines of AC power.
The disclosed ISBs linked in a tandem chain and directly to the controller through the POF (the first ISB in the tandem chain) are the preferred connections through each end of the POF, which are terminated by sharp cuts using POF guillotine (guillotine) cutters.
The terminated end of the POF is attached to the "optical portal" (optical port (OPTOPORT)) by a push-in action, and is further disclosed as being locked into OPTOPORT by a locking screw. Alternatively, the cut-off end (terminating end) can be locked by simple pushing-in via a structured locking element without the need for a supporting tool.
The solution is such that all elements of the ISB are plugged in, whether wires, POFs or plug-in devices (including AC operation and AC powered devices-e.g., ioT) cover various functions and specifications.
In particular, ioT and/or AI devices linked to an electrical and/or home automation grid perform at least one function (e.g., related to humidity, temperature, lighting, movement, and other known environmental sensing), which is included in the other "standard plug-in devices" discussed and referred to above.
The introduction of IoT and AI devices into the internal electrical grid is another main object of the preferred embodiment of the present invention and can be achieved by POF.
To account for and provide for different communications through IoT and AI, such as transmitting data and commands through different signals, such as RF signals through a given antenna, IR signals through an IR transceiver (transmitter or transceiver), and optical signals through an optical port disclosed in us patent 9,219,358, the optical port communicates at a lower speed to operate the appliance and report power consumption.
IoT, AI and other devices "need" higher speed optical signal communications for exchanging data with other intelligent devices (IoT and/or AI devices) and/or both conduct one of the mentioned lower speed and/or higher speed communications through the same optical port or through two separate optical grids.
Being able to transmit only a single RF signal at a time is extended to be limited to only one in terms of the IoT and AI devices communicating with each other and thereafter, so as to be allowed to transmit only one RF signal through any two-speed signal fed by two separate optical grids.
Each individual cascaded trellis, including terminated POF segments (cuts), is directed with each cut to propagate its signal through a "four-way" optical port.
Four ways, lower speed or higher speed or both, provide for the communication of commands and responses to and from the electrical device and controller through a given jack, with short protocols and commands being communicated through one of the lower speed signal and the higher speed signal.
By providing higher speed circuitry for IoT and AI devices, operating artificial intelligence devices (given appliances), data is transferred and/or data and protocols are mixed to extend communications to higher speeds. Therefore, it is important to generate a higher data propagation speed.
The low-speed or high-speed cascaded optical ports require that each optical port comprise a dual optical transceiver, each for bi-directional communication, i.e. receiving and/or transmitting, e.g. in response to a command or data, or propagating a command or data to the next optical port of the next cascaded smart box in the cascaded chain, whether for lower speeds, higher speeds or combined speeds.
A single cascaded optical port operates in both directions (each of the two paths is actually a junction to a double or "four-way" node of the optical signal), for example, receiving a command, responding, transmitting the command to the next (cascaded segment) and waiting for a response and retransmitting the response to complete a four-way switch.
Thus, the propagation of an optical signal can be considered to be effectively four-way. The repeated response to the initial transmission is counter-propagating in each direction. By detecting the propagated signal activity (detected by the receiving element of the optical port transceiver), no reverse signal collision (whether the lower speed signal or the higher speed signal disclosed in U.S. patent 10,225,005) is allowed to occur.
It should be clear that higher speeds and four-way propagation are similarly provided through the setting of ISBs, linked through dual POFs, where the second POF corresponds to higher speeds and is able to handle the above signal activity, the following references relate to AI and IoT and other high speed devices.
Lower speed signals-for example for short protocols with five bytes-as disclosed in the above-mentioned U.S. patent 8,170,722-to lower speeds (e.g. below 1 kbit per second) can be detected by phototransistors used in the phototransmitters disclosed in U.S. patent 8,340,527. For example, a detection duration of 0.1-2 milliseconds provides sufficient time to block or prevent the optical transmitter of the optical port from transmitting.
For higher speed signals the detection and processing time may not be sufficient to prevent collisions and furthermore, for higher speed optical signals such as 100 kbits and above, the use of phototransistors is not recommended.
Phototransistor processing is slow and the amplification of the phototransistor is nonlinear, thereby introducing a speed limitation. For higher speeds, it is preferred to use a photodiode or a photo diode.
Phototransistors, on the other hand, provide self-amplification, while the signal detected by the photodiode needs to be amplified, timed and shaped by an added expensive circuit. Furthermore, multiprocessing represents a time delay in the optical or propagation activity through the cascaded POF sense signals, and thus may not be effective in ensuring that there are no collisions.
POF cut-off cascading chains for higher speed communications, not an object of the present invention, the speed of light is that comprising a newly designed optical port (including direct optical entry to the optical elements of the transmitter and receiver), including signal sensing optical signal circuitry and controlling transmission start times.
The newly introduced optical port elements and circuits greatly enhance the intelligent capabilities of the intelligent IoT and AI box of the preferred embodiments of the present invention.
Higher speed optical grids are introduced into the ISB of the electrical grid of a given house, introducing higher speed grids (cascaded between box groups). In the event that the grid is not tested and verified to perform as intended, or is tuned, tested and corrected to perform as designed, the installation of such higher performance grids cannot be completed.
The extended capability of the tester disclosed in U.S. patent 10.313.141 (covering both lower speed cascaded grids and higher speed cascaded grids) is preferred and another objective.
The above considerations do not allow the installer of the electrical wiring apparatus to be an installer of the optical fiber communication nor to have knowledge of the propagation of the optical signal.
The optical tester may be combined with a calibration tester for calibrating a smart AC outlet that measures AC current and calculates power consumed by the load, as disclosed in U.S. patent 8,442,792, 8,594,965, which is incorporated herein by reference.
An optical signal tester and a hand tool for releasing and removing a built housing of hybrid switches, AC jacks, ioT and AI devices are disclosed.
Covering different sensors for the internal and external environment, whose known and/or currently unknown sensing functions and details will be introduced in the future.
All cut-off POF segments connected by at least one of a plurality of cascaded optical segments of the POF mesh, wherein each segment is terminated by a sharp cut-off of a knife-terminated manual cutting tool, as disclosed in U.S. patent 8,453,332, 8,596,174.
The combination hand tool forms a combined support for the electrical installer, adding substantial support to simplify and facilitate installation and setup, as disclosed in many of the U.S. patents listed in the prior art above, which are incorporated herein by reference.
In many cases, problems arise with the introduction of ISBs into wall boxes of occupied premises, whether independent houses or apartments of high-rise buildings.
It may involve various physical elements and may not be able to access the optical fibers (e.g., cut and terminated POF segments), to other boxes and/or system splitters, or directly (not possibly in-between).
To connect the totality of a given plurality of ISBs, it may be necessary to completely replace the wiring equipment and boxes, which is costly and inconvenient for the tenant of the home.
For these reasons, there is an option to provide the interior of the house and ISB with a wireless mesh comprising RF or IR in open space, as part of the elements and combinations, covering optics, RF and IR or optics and IR, optics and RF, RF and IR.
Further, referenced U.S. patent 7,973,647, 8,170,722, 8,639,465 and many U.S. patents disclose bi-directional command converters including light to RF, RF to light, light to electricity, electricity to light, IR (optical) to RF, RF to IR, IR to electricity, electricity to IR, RF to electricity, electricity to RF, and combinations thereof.
The introduction of ISBs powered by AC power lines and other circuitry of ISBs for partitioning the box into restricted areas and being cascaded by partitioned communications (whether electrical, optical, IR or RF and/or combinations thereof) would still be complex.
Another object is to split the communication signals and protocols to prevent collisions with other non-optical signals by limiting the transmission of a selected given signal to only one, as managed and controlled by the home controller.
Providing different frequencies and/or modulations to the electrical signal and the RF signal shortens the protocol by reducing the number of bits, address length. A procedure is included for preventing collisions with and between two or more ISBs in the concatenation line of a given segment being set. The details of which are described in further detail in the description of the preferred embodiments.
In addition, well known cordless telephones operate in the 25-60MHz band for internal communication within buildings. For a maximum of eight or sixteen regions or channels, modulated signals, such as FM, AM, ASK, FSK and other well known modulations, are used.
The use of a common encoding protocol that is uniform for all frequencies may be suitable (by way of example) for communication between ISBs and/or standard plugin support boxes, and voice commands may be used between devices of multiple IoT and AI via attached IoT or AI plugin devices using well-known RF transceivers and antennas.
As mentioned above, the illumination lines are complex, time consuming, and complex for pre-designed duct tasks that are periodically changed before the building is completed. Once installed, the change is cumbersome and expensive.
The installer would like to have a duct that covers all the grids and leads to all the lamps and is independent of the wall box.
Applicant's hybrid switch (us patent 10,586,671, 9,281,147, 9,257,251, 9,219,358, 9,036,320) and current beam light drivers, called (Hiber TM), enable the first introduction of a central wall light box and/or panel to physically connect all home lights, any hybrid switch being operated by pressing a key and by a controller command. And no single illumination power line is connected to any ISB.
The ISB feeds optical data to the controller through the cascaded POF grid instead of feeding power to the switch. And the wall chest operates on ISB feed based data as commanded by the controller.
The plug-in outlet (without switching capability) feeds AC power for randomly powering (via a load power plug) an AC load (an AC outlet attached to the ISB), reporting the consumed power to the controller via the cascaded POF.
A plug-in beam optical switch is inserted into the ISB to operate any of the lights or other loads by finger touch, as programmed. Since there are no wires to be measured, the actual power consumed is fed by the controller, calculated and reported as programmed.
Another object is to introduce a new series of 1-4 combination switches, inserted into either AC or DC ISBs, where n plug-in combination switches TM enter as many double groups (outlet entry units) as there are suitable combination switches (COS), for each single switch can switch-on-off up to four lamps, and report the status and power consumed by up to as many lamps through each double group of ISBs powered by AC or low voltage DC.
Each plug-in beam light operated switch (light switch or BLA), which is disclosed further below, itself, is optically operated with two LEDs, mounted in and operated by the CPU of the (ISB). Indicating the switch state and generating beam light into the combination switch. Another element In (ISB) is a phototransistor that recognizes and reports the state of the switch.
A new plug-in housing for introduction into a receptacle within a double set of plug-in sized ISBs. The ISB includes LEDs and phototransistors for identifying, displaying, and reporting the on-off status to the CPU of the ISB.
The complexity and cost of the lighting system is directly related to wiring through the existing wall boxes. Each pendant lamp or individual lamp needs to be switched on and off. Each lighting unit (whether a pendant lamp or a plurality of light bulbs) requires at least one or more switches.
Each lamp must be connected by at least two AC (or DC power) lines.
A common size house of about 100 square meters would have about 20-25 bulbs and about 20-25 switches installed. Each bulb must be connected by two wires (neutral and live).
The plurality of tubes and wires are drawn together (partially) separately. The high cost of the light is a cue to overcome. The application also introduces the most efficient way to simplify the wiring and plumbing of the lamp and the wiring costs, including power consumption reporting, yet provides another new objective by and via beam drivers and/or combination switches.
The beam optical driver and the combination switch together generate an optical signal or beam light, each being transmitted through at least one cascaded POF with the combination switch and the beam optical driver through a given cascaded POF. Wherein the combination switch is further operated by pressing the combination switch key or by an optical command fed by the home controller in response to pressing a key assigned to a given combination switch.
The first lighting mixing cabinet or panel has been known to operate in conjunction with the cascading ISB and through parallel switching by a common push button within the mixing switch.
Pressing the combination key is a new introduction, not a mechanically operated hybrid switch. Mechanical hybrid switches are not known to be operable by optical beam drivers.
It is not known that: the known hybrid switch is capable of generating a switch light command to a given light box via the POF and comprises a hybrid switch for illuminating the whole home.
The above described in conjunction with beam light cutoff and combination switches provide system engineers and electrical installers with targets and degrees of freedom for designing a central light box and providing panels for connecting L and N power lines through the effective placement of wall tubing. The hybrid switch, one for each lamp in and around the home, is switched from live and neutral fed by a single or several light boxes.
The light box and/or panel and the hybrid switch discussed above are operated by the home controller based on beam light or optical signals propagating from the beam light driver or combination switch.
It is important to note that each given plug-in switch is self-setting via the ISB and into the ISB for recording the given plug-in switch and then entering and displaying screen setting details via the controller.
The on or off command to a given hybrid switch is optically propagated through the cascaded POF to the home controller and from the controller to the given hybrid switch.
In rare cases where the beam light driver or combination switch is defective and cannot generate commands, or in rare cases where the controller is defective, the home resident may operate any of the lights manually (finger touch), or by assigned press keys for each of the assigned hybrid switches on the front lighting panel.
The terms "touch" or "finger touch" and/or "soft touch" refer to a finger soft touch wall mounted or other fixedly mounted press key for "turning on" or "off" a light element, and/or the terms "press" or "soft press" may be used in place of the terms "touch" and/or "soft touch" as the case may be (including the claims).
In the present application and claims, the expression "soft", "pressing" or "touching" means that the user presses, touches or applies soft presses or pressure to actuate a key to cut off the "beam light" in the visible or invisible spectrum so as to pass or reject the "beam light" through the opening of the present description.
Two different "touches" or "presses" refer herein to firm presses of the light switch keys mounted in the ISB and on the wall.
An "other beam light switch" is a wearable light switch attached to, for example, a decorative design shirt or to a wearable tie or other wearable item.
The beam light and the combination switch differ in that they are disclosed in that the first is to switch on-off (e.g. a lamp) and the other is to direct the volume to increase or decrease (up or down) the level step. The basic function of the switch (i.e., SPST or SPDT) is the same for both versions.
DPST and DPDT versions are similarly identical via ISB through dual optical cascade grid lines. Lamp switches are known to be formed based on chromatography. It is emphasized that the lamp switch of the present invention operates by the cutting off of an optical signal fed through the POF or any other optical cable (straight or curved). None of these have been disclosed.
In contrast, combination switches were introduced for the currently existing home automation (through POF cascading) that required added light switches but could not change or add existing pipes or wires.
A plug-in combination switch is introduced to provide a plug-in device that replaces a given double set of sockets with a link to a given ISB optical portal to switch 1-4 lamps with wireless light.
Additional combination switch details are disclosed in page 33, line 19 through page 35, line 4.
The commonality of home automation and the basis of hearing aids for control and communication via optical signals is undeniable. Both hearing aids and home controllers must address both past and current basic problems through the optical switch disclosed above.
The ornamental surfaces of the key and the receptacle preferably comprise ornamental surfaces of communication connectors (such as known RJ-45 or USB connectors for connecting routers, printers and other PC peripherals, and/or antenna jacks or audio jacks for connecting low voltage devices through audio connectors, cable connectors, television antennas or dish antennas) both in similar standard housings to form standard structures and dimensions for plug-in structures of hybrid switches of smart receptacles.
The size and shape of the half-group is disclosed in U.S. patent 10,225,005 to home controller.
The statements of the applicant are not common in the filed patent application. Applicant has shown an apology for a few "parts" of the variation, which may be unclear with respect to applicant's intent regarding both home automation and hearing aids.
The examiner handling the application may be confused about ambiguous directions and combinations involving a single item, element, device or system. The applicant has first made this explanation and is intended to introduce a very serious common single explanation, which should not be considered as singular.
Since we know but do not understand this, home automation is unsuccessful and edison history covers home automation.
At the same time, the history of hearing aids can be traced back to the second war of 1940-1945, when the tube was used for enlargement, the supply of bulbs was cut off in the 60 s of the 20 th century, and standards for hearing aids were created that developed completely to limit the size that is currently still changing and neglect the meaning of hearing aids. Manufacturing natural hearing aids is not straightforward. Thus, it is time to find a means to enable the person in need of the hearing aid to self-control.
Hearing aids are person-to-machine and home automation is faced with a decorative device-to-control that is required by the home. No device can replace the functionality that is currently programmatically controlling the entire home. However, the electrical industry is looking for an impossible solution (ght) to replace home controllers. Some household appliances are subject to strict controls and regulations that are not violateable but can be replaced, but no one has taken any action to change the household electrical structure, which is a huge obstacle, some of which are based on older dimensions.
Regarding the remaining home automation projects, the method to be described in further detail is for setting at least one of the formed home automation electrical grid and network to replace century old wiring, screws and terminals with solid highly conductive power (N19.3, GND19.11, AC 19.7) to shorten (depth of) all ISB back surfaces, and converting a plurality of separate and different three power lines (L is live, N is neutral, G is ground) to introduce cascading power lines.
FIGS. 18B and 19A & B clearly disclose the details and procedure of lines L-N-G19.3-19.11 and 19.7 for latch-up peel; the other tool involved is the release tool 280 shown, which is a known manual tool for releasing the locking elements 19.8-1-19.8-3, as shown in fig. 19C, the uniqueness of the three springs being that the wires are firmly locked and can be released by all three release tools 19.94, so that the century old integration of wires of at least one of residential and commercial units can be removed by cascading ISBs, each ISB being directly connected to the electrical grid and connected to at least one load by at least one interposed electrical wiring device. The plurality of ISBs are linked to at least one of the controller, the distributor, and the command converter by one of the bi-directional optical signals via one of the cascaded grids of fiber optic cables and at least one of the wireless RF and IR signals bi-directionally propagated in the open air.
The ISB comprising a CPU, at least one setting selector and memory for the settings and for loading detail data, circuitry for operating and for calculating the power consumed by each load through each of the wiring devices, and communication circuitry for communicating bi-directional signals in at least one direction through one of the home automation grid and network and said one of a controller and command converter, the method comprising the steps of:
Loading, by the communication circuit, the detail data related to each installed constructed smart support box into the memory, the detail data including data related to the at least one wiring device;
Setting, by one of the setting selectors and by the controller or wirelessly by one of a hand-held loader and a tablet (pad), one of an identification number and code and address to identify a mounting location within the unit of each of the smart support cartridges;
the applicant requested the inspector to carefully inspect the problems associated with the common light bulbs by means of the common wall switch. There is a gap between the installation of lamps by professionals and there is no real understanding why no lighting solution is found.
One big problem is that the spacing within the house wall boxes (e.g., from the 1880-edison era) remains 4 x 4 inches. These problems have been present for many years, but have never been challenged with game rules. Fig. 2A clearly presents the current problem in the reality shown.
Other problems with current lighting are: almost all bulbs are LED-based, require low voltage power, and demand is growing. Whether 12V, 100V or 250V, our world becomes hotter.
The easy-to-go section … does not have any given form of wires and contacts (switches), one cannot illuminate the bulb-! Wires (in all forms) are required to feed power, either AC or DC.
Thus, we here are: the number of lamps is growing and the problems are increasing, and the industry has in the past and now sought ways to eliminate wiring. Furthermore, returning to the most basic, one cannot turn on/off the light bulb without power and a switch. Wiring problems are caused by the switch position, the lamp position and the plumbing within the wall.
None of the above includes wireless nor suggests any form of wired. Similarly, no contact or combination element is disclosed.
This industry suggests shortening the length of wires and seeks to make and/or use wireless or contactless devices.
The applicant has foreseen and disclosed in the present application an optical beam element, rather than a cut-off of light, which is the opposite, or substantially fictitious, submitted, which is intended to submit a list of patents for solutions for cutting off a light switch.
Neither the hypothetical hybrid switch nor the hypothetical beam optical switch is discussed or shown or suggested. Approximately two years ago, a new switching idea emerged under the influence of the term beam optical switch. The beam light is driven by the severing of the fiber optic cable. Some believe that they can make a switch by using beam light. Beam light cannot be generated nor carry electrical power. Electro-optic is the result of a visually generated beam.
To shorten the "story", the applicant discloses a "beam light" and "beam" switch driven by the cutting and contact closure of the plastic optical fiber, respectively.
In all cases the answer to the switch (currently) discloses an absolute need for a hybrid switch or hybrid circuit. Applicant has an issued U.S. patent 9,018,803, dates 2015 to 2020; 9,036,320;9,219,358;9,257,251;9,281,147;9,541,911 and 10,586,671 for hybrid switching and hybrid circuitry, and the beams (including combination switches) are used together in the present application.
