US Patent:

20070268895, Nov 22, 2007

Filed:

May 19, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/419216

Inventors:

Gerald T. Foster - Swindon, GB
Bohdan L. Bodnar - Park Ridge IL, US
Stephen J. Wesoloski - Palatine IL, US
Gary E. Western - Johnsburg IL, US

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370389

Abstract:

An apparatus is provided for switching data between input and output lines. The input and output lines are coupled to a number of line termination boards which are interconnected by a network. The line termination boards comprise a data block processor which for each switch interval combines data from the input connections (such as time slots) associated with output lines of another line termination board and an interface for transmitting the combined data to these over the network. A mapping processor generates mapping data that maps data of the combined data to the output connections. The mapping data is transmitted to the receiving line termination board which comprises a de-mapping processor which allocates data of the combined data to the appropriate output connections in response to the mapping data.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for the control of power consumption in individual space-conditioning loads fed by an electric power network utilizes a commandable, programmable temperature control device which gradually, substantially continually changes the control setpoint in response to an external signal to reduce power consumption such that temperature changes go relatively unnoticed by the occupants. A radio receiver or the like is utilized to receive a signal from the power utility company and, in response to the signal, the setpoint function of the thermostat associated with the load becomes an electronically simulated function in accordance with the invention and the user-control setpoint is removed from the control loop. The effective load shedding is also greatly enhanced by the provision of an integral reset function in addition to the conventional proportional control within the temperature control system. The use of a plurality of such systems enables the power utility to control electric power network peak load with a minimum impact on the comfort of individuals in the conditioned spaces.
