Disclosed are systems, devices and methods for providing solar lighting and power to a customer by using pay-as-you-go (PAYG) technology. The PAYG technology allows a customer to make incremental payments for a solar energy system that includes a lighting unit. The payments can be made through a smartphone. A cable is used to connect an audio jack of the smartphone and a PV power jack of the lighting unit. Analog AC signals including data about activation, payment, usage and status are transmitted over the cable between the service provider and lighting unit, through a smartphone. The power jack of the lighting unit is also used to connect to a solar panel of a charging unit and a battery of the lighting unit. |

A system transmits electric signals, electric energy or media over short distances between units movable relative to each other. The system has at least one first unit disposed along the trajectory of the movement and at least one second unit disposed for movement relative to the first unit. A diagnosis unit is associated with at least one of the units to detect the condition of at least one of said movable units and signals that detected condition to a central control unit. |

Disclosed is a system for controlling a pump, such as a submersible pump intended for pumping water, including a pump and a separate electronic control unit connected to the pump by an electrical cable. The control unit is adapted to be detachably connected to the pump, by that the control unit is adapted to allow the pumps power supply to pass through the control unit, by that an electronic controller is arranged in the pump for controlling at least one of the pump's functions and/or monitoring at least one of the pump's operating conditions, and by that the pump and the control unit are adapted to communicate with each other and transmitting signals, including necessary control and/or monitoring information/data, between each other. |

A repeater, useable for connecting switches in a data communication network, is provided in a distributed and/or modular fashion. The repeater includes a plurality of separate and distinct components or modules connected to or at least partially housed in, the various switches which the repeater modules couple. Preferably, the repeater autodetects and/or autoconfigures some or all aspects of repeater operations, such as detecting and/or configuring appropriate full/half-duplex mode operation or detecting and/or configuring in response to appropriate or approved cable-type connections. The distributed and/or modular repeater facilitates accommodating various switching or repeater needs as a network grows or contracts. |

In a method of transmitting electromagnetic signals between a stationary transmitting/receiving station and a transmitting/receiving station in a magnetic levitation train vehicle, the magnetic levitation train vehicle is guided on a travel path that includes stator laminations arranged on its underside. Signals to be transmitted are coupled from a travel-path-side coupling-in point connected with the stationary transmitting/receiving station into the stator laminations of at least one travel path side of the magnetic levitation train, and are decoupled from a vehicle-side coupling-out point connected with the transmitting/receiving station in the vehicle out of the stator laminations and vice-versa. The stator laminations are used as a transport medium of signals between the respective coupling-in and coupling-out point. |

This invention relates to an elevator signal transmitting equipment characterized in that a shielding body of a magnetic shielding material envelops a transmitting line laid along a shaft through which a cage travels and a portion of a coupling device extending toward said transmitting line, the transmission and reception of signals being realized through the magnetic coupling between said transmitting line and said coupling device to control the operation of said cage, a path through which a part of said coupling device travels being left not enveloped. |

Data and speech are transmitted along an elongate member from a transmitter to a receiver. Toroids are used to effect a low frequency coupling between the transceivers and the elongate member. The toroids are segmented and their windings are such as to form part of a resonant circuit as well as being arranged around the segments such that external fields are cancelled. Protective shrouds are arranged around at least part of the toroids. |

An asynchronous radio repeater system for providing radio coverage within a large building or the like employs a plurality of pulse repeaters distributed over the communications area. Each repeater receives oscillation pulses from a portable pulse transmitter or from another repeater and transmits pulses of oscillations having substantially the same frequency as the received oscillations. A blanking system is incorporated in each repeater to disable the repeater for a predetermined time duration following tee transmission of a pulse to prevent selfsustaining oscillation of the system.

''''Up slow,'''' ''''Down slow,'''' ''''Up Fast,'''' and ''''Down Fast'''' command signals in the form of magnetic flux from an elevator car are transmitted to a hoist motor at an end of the shaft, using ferromagnetic flux to magnetically couple a transmitter in the car and a receiver at the motor to a cable in the shaft or to a fixed structural member of the shaft either of which acts as the secondary of a transformer coupling the receiver to the transmitter. The transmitter-receiver system operates at low frequencies (between about 300 to 1,200 cycles/sec.) to avoid electromagnetic radiation and its signals are so coded as to insure unambiguous command signals immune to electrical noise, and to provide certain fail-safe features.
