Abstract

See full text

The iCord is an apparatus capable of controlling and/or monitoring the electrical power being fed to any device that uses detachable electric power cord. The iCord sits in between the power source and the electric load and contains, on one of its side, a power inlet, and on the other side, a power outlet. These two connectors are a complementary male/female pair matched to the respective connectors coming from the power source and going to the electric load. The iCord contains electronic circuit capable of switching its power outlet on/off based on controls sent wirelessly by a central module. The iCord may contain electronic circuit and sensors capable of measuring current being drawn through its outlet as well and voltage across its outlet terminals. A power control and monitoring network may be built by deploying many iCords wirelessly controlled by central module.
