Abstract

In a first embodiment a first signal generator associated with a first power consuming device sends information about the first power consuming device to a signal interpreter associated with a controllable power source. The signal interpreter develops a control signal in response to the information. The control signal is sent to a controllable power source. The controllable power sends power to the first power consuming device in accordance with the control signal it receives from the signal interpreter. The first signal generator and the first power consuming device that is associated with it are abbe to be removed so that a second signal generator associated with a second power consuming device may communicate with the signal interpreter. The controllable source sends power to the second power consuming device in accordance with the control signal it receives from the signal interpreter.

A second embodiment is the same as the first except now the signal interpreter is able to understand commands from a signal generator that develops commands instead of information.

Claims

1. A power delivery system capable of providing power to devices requiring different power types or levels comprising:

means to develop information about a first power consuming or power storage device;

means to provide said information about said first power consuming or power storage device to an interpreter, said interpreter capable of using said information about said first power consuming or power storage device to develop a first power source control signal;

a power source capable of providing power in response to a control signal;

means to deliver power from said power source to said first power consuming or power storage device, said power source controlled by said first power source control signal;

means to deliver power from said power source to said first power consuming or power storage device, said power source controlled by said first power source control signal;

means to remove said means to develop information about a first power consuming or storage device;

means to remove said first power consuming or power storage device;

means to install a second power consuming or power storage device;

means to install means to develop information about said second power consuming or storage device;

means to provide said information about said second power consuming or power storage device to said interpreter, said interpreter capable of using said information about said second power consuming or storage device to develop a second power source control signal that controls said power source;

means to deliver power form said power source to said second power consuming or storage device.

2. A power delivery system capable of providing power to devices requiring different power types or levels comprising:

means to develop a power command that, if followed, will result in power being delivered to a first power consuming or power storage device;

means to send said command to an interpreter, said interpreter capable of using said command to develop a first power source control signal;

a power source capable of providing power in response to a control signal;

means to deliver power in response to said first power source control signal to said first power consuming or power storage device, said power source controlled by said first power source control signal;

means to remove said means to develop a power command that will result in power being delivered to a first power consuming or power storage device;

means to remove said first power consuming or power storage device;

means to install a second power consuming or power storage device;

means to install means that, if followed, will result in power being delivered to said second power consuming or power storage device;

means to send said command to said interpreter, said interpreter developing a second control signal for use by said controllable power source;

means to deliver power from said power source to said second power consuming or storage device.
