Title: James Krafcik and Universal Wireless Lighting Control

Introduction

James Krafcik is an inventor based in Chesterfield, Missouri. His work includes lighting-control technology, and he is associated with Abl IP Holding LLC. His listed portfolio includes 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Krafcik’s latest listed patent is “Wireless Lighting Control System with Universal Driver Control Interface.” The invention describes a luminaire designed to control different types of driver circuits through a universal interface.

The luminaire receives an analog voltage signal from a driver circuit through a driver-control wire and voltage divider. It converts that signal into a digital value, then compares the value with ranges in a voltage lookup table to identify the driver’s protocol. Using the identified protocol and a light-source control setting, the luminaire sends an appropriate control signal back to the driver circuit.

Career Highlights

The listed patent reflects an approach to making lighting systems compatible with multiple driver types. By identifying a driver protocol from its voltage characteristics, the interface can support varied circuits without requiring a separate control design for each type.
