摘要： A programmable electronic thermostat for use in a building having a furnace and an air conditioning system adapted to generate energizing signals for the furnace and the air conditioner. An operator programs the thermostat with a series of desired temperatures over a repetitive heating or cooling cycle. During the winter, relatively high temperatures will typically be programmed during the period when the building is occupied and relatively low temperatures during unoccupied periods. The thermostat includes a clock that interrogates the program to generate the desired temperature for the present time which is compared to the measured temperature within the building to generate control signals for the furnace. In order to energize the air conditioning system during occasional periods of occurrence of high temperature, a control temperature is derived for the air conditioner. The derived control temperature is either a first, relatively low control temperature if the heating program indicates that the building is generally occupied during that time, or a second, relatively higher control temperature if the program indicates that the building is unoccupied. If one of either the furnace or air conditioner has been energized within a predetermined time period, the control temperature is not changed and the other of the furnace or air conditioner will not be energized. Under complementary circumstances, if the thermostat is programmed to control the air conditioner, control temperatures to control the furnace are selected depending whether the building is generally occupied or unoccupied.

摘要： A control system for an electrically energized humidifier used with a hot-air furnace including an electric time-delay circuit and control means for manually adjusting the time delay. Each time the thermostat for the system energizes the furnace the humidifier is energized for the predetermined time delay or until the furnace is de-energized, whichever occurs first. The time delay is manually adjusted so that it is longer than the energization cycle of the furnace in warm weather and shorter than the energization cycle of the furnace in cold weather. It is also manually adjusted so that in cold weather at the maximum energization cycle, the humifidier does not produce condensation within the building. The relative humidity of the conditioned air thus decreases proportionately to increases in the atmospheric temperature.

摘要： An electric thermostat operative to be connected to a furnace or other temperature modifying apparatus to control its state of operation includes means for generating a desired temperature set-point signal and means for measuring ambient temperature at the thermostat. When the ambient temperature falls sufficiently below this set-point, the furnace is energized until the ambient temperature rises to a stored temperature level, also below the set-point. The system then monitors the peak ambient temperature reached during the following temperature overshoot resulting from the inertia of the furnace. The temperature differential between this limiting temperature obtained and the set-point is then added to the stored temperature value if the system did not obtain the set point temperature or substracted from the stored temperature value if the system exceeded the set-point value. The system also stores a second predetermined temperature value below the set point to establish a "dead zone" and similar control is exercised over the temperature at which the energizing signal for the furnace is initiated so that the system adaptively maintains a temperature range exactly limited by the dead zone independent of environmental temperature changes.

摘要： A computer terminal employs a CRT display, a micro-processor, and a random access memory which both stores character codes for information to be displayed on the CRT screen and serves as working storage for the processor. To generate a line of text across the display the processor loads a memory address counter with the address of a memory location containing the code for the first character of the line. The counter is incremented in timed relation to the generation of the display and sequentially outputs consecutive memory addresses in which the consecutive character codes forming the line are stored. During the generation of the line the activity of the processor is inhibited. Following generation of the line the processor regains access to the RAM and tends to I/O duties or modifies the display memory contents until it passes control of the RAM back to the address counter for generation of another line of display.

摘要： A method and apparatus for a battery powered networked irrigation controller that communicates with a backend server to implement updated watering schedules as needed, rather than the irrigation controller waiting until the next scheduled watering event of the obsolete watering schedule. A local wireless network transceiver can be accessed locally by a mobile device to prompt the irrigation controller to wake up from a sleep mode and communicate with the backend server to verify or obtain the updated watering schedule, allowing for changes in the horticultural conditions in the region watered by the irrigation controller, such as the laying of new sod.

摘要： A sub-atmospheric pressure desalinating still employs a closed top, open bottom pipe filled with source water to be distilled, such as seawater, having a height greater than the height of a column of seawater that can be supported by the pressure at the bottom of the tank so that a subatmospheric pressure volume is formed at the top. Water from the source is also pumped into the subatmospheric volume and passed through an evaporator which enlarges its surface volume. A small percentage of the water is vaporized and the balance is cooled to provide the heat of vaporization and falls into the top of the seawater column, creating a downward flow. The vapor is drawn from the vacuum and condensed, preferably in a second subatmospheric volume above a column of fresh water.

摘要： A system for programming the automatic operation of a video recorder over an extended time period uses an associated television receiver as a display device for alphanumeric messages to the operator to provide a self-explanatory, interactive programming routine. The video recorder system includes a digital memory, a real time digital clock, and an alphanumeric character generator, all connected to a central digital controller. A keypad allows the operator to initiate a programming routine in which previously stored programming messages are called up from memory and generated on the TV receiver's display tube using the character generator. The operator's responses entered via the keypad are stored in the memory and are called up at future times to generate control signals for the video recorder. The video recorder system further includes a memory storing digital data representing a schedule of programming available for a future period. The video system permits this schedule to be recalled and displayed on the TV receiver for review by the user.

摘要： A single remote control transmitter can advantageously control three units including a cable tuner/descrambler, a video recorder/player and a television receiver. One of these three units, preferably the video recorder/player, is a master unit. It receives remote control signals from a hand held remote control transmitter. The master unit is initialized using on screen prompts to learn the remote control signals for the other units which are slaves. The prompts ask the user to operate various controls on the remote control transmitter of the proposed slave unit, while receiving and analyzing the remote control transmissions. This permits the master unit to build a translation table for control of the slave units. The master unit may include a read only memory of remote control codes for a number of possible slave units. The master unit can abort the initialization process if it recognizes the requested remote control transmission is according to one of the remote control codes stored in the memory. The system preferably separates control of the plural processes so that each one of the cable tuner/descrambler, the video recorder/player and the television receiver are employed for only certain functions.
