摘要:
An apparatus for reducing the energy consumption of a machine has a deactivation device and a monitoring device. The deactivation device is embodied for providing a deactivation signal in response to a pre-defined deactivation event. The monitoring device is embodied for switching the machine to an energy-saving mode in response to the deactivation signal in accordance with a pre-defined deactivation rule.

A method and an apparatus for controlling a digital electronic product, using a control signal transmitter and a signal receiver combined with a gate system for controlling a digital home appliance, such that a system activation/inactivation control mechanism is established. The on/off status of the gate system is remotely controlled by the control signal transmitter. In the process of switching off the gate system, a basic input/output system (BIOS) for executing switching on/off is used to detect whether the external connecting port is connected to a signal receiver. When the system is in the off status, the electric connection to the signal receiver is maintained, such that the activation control signal from the control signal transmitter can be received any time. Thereby, the signal status of the signal receiver can be changed to automatically switch on the gate system, and the control signal transmitter can thus remotely control operation of the digital home appliance.

An electronic vapor provision system includes a vaporizer for vaporizing a payload for inhalation by a user of the electronic vapor provision system, the vaporizer taking a finite period of time from having power supplied to it to vaporize the payload; a power supply for supplying power to the vaporizer to vaporize the payload in response to a user activation; one or more sensors operable to output respective signals in response to interaction of the user with the electronic vapor provision system; an estimation processor configured to estimate a user's expected moment of activation, based upon analysis of one or more of the respective signals; and a control processor configured to cause power to be supplied to the vaporizer at a time that precedes the user's estimated expected moment of activation.

Digital communications monitoring circuitry coupled to the electrical connections and is configured to control power to the field device electrical circuitry in response to a digital signal on the two wire process control loop.
摘要:
A device for waking users of a bus system, wherein a detection means, in particular a counter, is provided, which detects at least one predefined signal feature of the signals transmitted on the bus system and initiates the further wake-up procedure once a predefinable number with respect to the signal feature has been reached.

Apparatus and method are provided for intelligently controlling an electrical power distributor for a personal computer, its peripherals, and other devices. The apparatus includes a parallel interface; single-chip microcomputer; plurality of relays; power source connector; and plurality of electrical outlets. The parallel interface can be removably connected through a parallel cable to a parallel port of a personal computer. The single-chip microcomputer has a clock to keep time independent of the personal computer. In response to programming instructions from the personal computer, the single-chip microcomputer controls the relays to selectively connect and disconnect the power lead connector to the electrical outlets of the distributor. Communicating with the distributor is made user friendly by including a software prorgram for the personal computer that translates simple commands from the user into commands sent through the parallel port of the personal computer to the distributor. The distributor can share the parallel port of the personal computer with another peripheral device, such as a printer, by use of a split-Y parallel cable or similar split cable or connector. The distributor reacts only to particular data transmitted on the split-Y parallel cable and ignores other data. A preferred embodiment of the distributor also includes a phone ring interface for detecting and responding to telephone ring signals. The single-chip microcomputer can be programmed by the personal computer to respond to one or more preselected sequences of one or more phone ring signals.

A device for waking up users of a bus system includes an evaluator having at least one clock-pulse generator and configured to selectively evaluate the wake-up information used to activate the users. The wake-up information to be evaluated has the structure of a standard CAN message. The activating procedure is initiated only in response to the presence of wake-up information that is specified for the respective user.
摘要:
A method for radio-based activation and deactivation of a zero-energy standby mode of automation components, wherein a passive unit of the automation component receives a radio signal, energy transmitted with the radio signal is converted into energy for actuating an electronic switch, and the energy supplied to a functional unit of the automation component is interrupted or restored by the actuation of the electronic switch such that the functional unit of the automation component is activated or deactivated.
