Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

The World Intellectual Property Organization has published Patent No. WO/2011/097105, titled "POWER LINE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD," which discloses a revolutionary power line communication (PLC) system. The inventive concept, developed by Michael T. Burk, enables the provision of electrical power and electronic communications through a PLC bus to various electronic devices, including instrument clusters, infotainment interfaces, and rear-seat entertainment consoles. This system also integrates a power system, allowing devices to communicate with remote devices through the electrical grid using a common communication protocol.

Key Takeaways:

  • The PLC system enables the provision of electrical power and electronic communications through a PLC bus to multiple electronic devices.
  • The system includes a PLC server, a power system, and a PLC bus that enables communication between devices and remote devices through the electrical grid.
  • The PLC system allows for communication between devices coupled to the PLC bus and remote devices using a common communication protocol.
  • The system is configured to provide electrical power to devices, such as instrument clusters and infotainment interfaces, through the electrical grid.
  • The power system is communicatively coupled to the PLC bus, enabling devices to communicate with remote devices through the electrical grid.
  • The patent was filed on January 27, 2011, under Application No. PCT/US2011/022660.
  • Michael T. Burk is the inventor of the PLC system and method disclosed in the patent.
  • The PLC system has the potential to revolutionize the way electronic devices communicate and interact with each other and with remote devices through the electrical grid.
