Abstract:
An isolated temperature sensing system includes a thermistor that measures a temperature of a compressor system. An isolation circuit charges a capacitor, sets an output signal to a first state during charging of the capacitor, discharges the capacitor to the thermistor, and sets the output signal to a second state during discharging of the capacitor to the thermistor. The first state is different than the second state. A control module receives the output signal via an isolation barrier and determines the temperature of the compressor system based on a ratio of: (i) a first period that the output signal is in the first state to (ii) a second period that the output signal is in the second state.

Abstract:
A method and system are provided for medium-range probabilistic prediction of extreme temperature events. Extreme temperatures are measured according to how local temperature thresholds are exceeded on daily timescales to generate a local "Magnitude Index" (MI). A regional MI reflecting the historic temperature intensity, duration and spatial extent of extreme temperature events over all locations within the region is then computed. The regional MI is used to create a synoptic catalog for each of one or more pre-defined weather variables by testing the significance of leading modes in historic atmospheric variability across specified periods of time. Current or recent weather conditions are compared against the synoptic catalog to generate probabilistic predictions of extreme temperature events based the presence of synoptic precursors identified in historic patterns.
Abstract:
Apparatus shows how land and oceans gain temperature and warming rates. Enables study of formation and behavior of water and land storms and how storms can be reduced. Apparatus collects environmental data on land and sea in real time via satellite, cell towers or wire and allows instantaneous analysis and application to global climate. Software predicts hurricanes and tornadoes while precisely pinpointing where tornadoes are to strike and path thereafter. Data locates areas to use to reduce or eradicate hurricanes and tornadoes. Data variables include geographical coordinates of location in relation to time and latitudinal position of the sun. Data shows how heat radiated from the sun is conducted to water bodies, from deserts, deforested lands, concrete structure, rocks and beaches due to their specific heat capacities. Data shows how warm water moves to the poles to melt ice. Apparatus predicts tornadoes before they form hence preventing night surprises.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a monitoring system for connection to an air conditioning system. The monitoring system includes a primary monitor for sensing the suction temperature and suction pressure of the air conditioning system along with the air conditioning unit temperature. In addition, the monitoring system includes a remote sensing device that is placed in the structure to monitor and transmit return air temperature and relative humidity to the primary monitor. The collected data is then used to calculate the superheat condition of the air conditioning system which is related to its efficiency.
Abstract:
The invention involves the automated testing of HVAC units using an energy management system. The automated HVAC test is performed to understand if one or more HVAC units are operational across one or more locations. If an HVAC unit is not operational, HVAC testing could be performed to understand which component or stage of the HVAC unit is not working as designed. The automated HVAC test is also used to calculate the efficiency of the HVAC unit(s) being tested. The various HVAC tests are performed on all HVAC units as a form of preventative maintenance and diagnostics. These tests can be scheduled on-demand, for a future date and time, or on a recurring schedule (monthly or quarterly). A report is generated for each HVAC test and can be viewed and exported from a cloud-based energy management platform.
Abstract:
A power monitoring system includes a plurality of current sensors suitable to sense respective changing electrical current within a respective conductor to a respective load and a conductor sensing a respective voltage potential provided to the respective load. A power monitors determines a type of circuit based upon a signal from at least one of the current sensors and a signal from the conductor, wherein the type of circuit includes at least one of a single phase circuit, a two phase circuit, and a three phase circuit. The power meter configures a set of registers corresponding to the determined type of circuit in a manner such that the configuring is different based upon each of the single phase circuit, two phase circuit, and three phase circuit suitable to provide data corresponding to the determined type of circuit.
