Abstract: A system for safe disablement of a mobile piece of equipment (MPE) in which an onboard processor (CPU) includes a component control unit (CCU) coupled to a critical operational component of the MPE. The CCU is operable to effect immobilization of the MPE in a first mode of operation and to enable the critical operational component in second more of operation. Using an integral communications interface, the CPU can be accessed by a cellular telephone network, pager signal, RF transmission, or via a satellite network. A software algorithm initiates a Disable Procedure which continuously queries the binary status of the key power circuit at preset intervals to determine if it is on or off. If the status of the key power circuit remains off for a predetermined interval, the critical component is then disabled by actuating the CCU. A disable command can originate remotely using wireless transmission means. The disablement can also be automatic based on calendar and geographic location parameters. Disablement is also effected when system tampering is detected.

Abstract: A method of setting up a remotely controlled wireless thermostat system for regulating heating and cooling a building. A radio equipped pager is connected to the programmable controller of the thermostat and a self test is conducted to determine if the system can successfully communicate with the service providers network at a first low power pager output. If not, the power output of the pager is incrementally increased within an acceptable output power range until such time that successful communication is established with the network. This power setting is placed in memory for use thereafter in communicating with the network.

Abstract: A remotely activated control device responsive to a specific transmitter operating in a frequency band assigned to radio telephone equipment, such as cellular telephone networks, cordless telephones, etc. The control device includes a radio receiver which provides a received pulse train to an assurance logic circuit. The assurance logic circuit determines if the received pulse train is limited to no more than a transmitter identification code and an action code, the combination of which is less than the code required to activate a relay network or initiate a radio telephone connection. Pulse trains accepted by the assurance logic circuit are compared to a stored code by a comparitor. The stored code includes the identification of a specific transmitter or group of transmitters and at least one action code. If the received pulse train matches the stored code, a switching circuit is activated to control a user supplied device.

Abstract: A data communication system for facilitating communication between infrared devices having an initiating optical interface port that includes an IR emitter and an optical sensor. A receiving optical interface port includes an active IR emitter that emits a pulse at a predetermined interval and an optical sensor. A software application causes an Attention Signal to be emitted from the initiating IR emitter where the initiating IR emitter is positioned in detection range of the receiving optical sensor. The receiving optical interface port is controlled by a firmware application. The firmware is designed to discontinue the pulse of the active IR emitter upon detection of the Attention Signal. Once the normal pulse cycle is discontinued, the active IR emitter is then employed for transmitting data signals to the initiating optical interface port, thereby establishing an optical link between the initiating optical interface port and the receiving optical interface port. The normal operations of the IR emitter of the receiving optical interface port remain discontinued until communication between the ports is terminated, allowing data signals to be sent to the initiating optical sensor from the active IR emitter.

The first personal computer uses a web browser with a graphical control panel that enables the user to input control requests, and that includes an animated representation of the electromechanical device(s) such that the user can instantly see the anticipated behavior of the electromechanical device. Control signals are sent via the internet to a server (30) which in turn forwards the signals to one or more second computers (50). The second computer(s) transforms the information and sends behavioral signals to a transmitter (100) via a USB link (60). The wireless transmitter sends the signals to a wireless receiver (200) which is connected to an electromechanical device (300). In this manner, a plurality of electromechanical devices can be controlled by one or more persons located in multiple remote locations.
