Abstract
A power supply for a synchronized appliance is disclosed and includes a first energy store having a first energy storage capacity, a processor powered by energy from the first energy store, and a second energy store having a second energy storage capacity greater than the first energy storage capacity. The processor initiates charging of the second energy store after a delay beginning at a time of receipt of a charge of predefined level from the first energy store.
Claims20
A power supply for a synchronized appliance comprising:
- a first energy store having a first energy storage capacity;
- a processor powered by energy from the first energy store;
- and
- a second energy store having a second energy storage capacity greater than the first energy storage capacity, wherein the processor initiates charging of the second energy store after a delay beginning at a time of receipt of a charge of predefined level from the first energy store.
A notification appliance circuit (NAC) comprising:
- a plurality of notification appliances, wherein at least one of the plurality of notification appliances include a power source including:
- a first energy store having a first energy storage capacity;
- a processor powered by energy from the first energy store;
- and
- a second energy store having a second energy storage capacity greater than the first energy storage capacity, wherein the processor delays charging of the second energy store after a delay beginning at a time of receipt of a charge of predefined level from the first energy store;
- and
- circuit wiring connected to provide electric power to each of the plurality of notification appliances and synchronize operation of the plurality of notification appliances.
A method of powering notification appliances in a notification appliance circuit (NAC) comprising:
- charging a first energy store within the notification appliance with an input current from an NAC;
- and
- charging a second energy store within the same notification appliance after a delay period beginning at a time of receipt by a processor of the notification appliance of current at a predefined level from the first energy store.
