Abstract: A method for the adaptation of a user interface based on the proximity of a plurality of computing devices connected to a network. The method includes determining, at a first client or a server, a proximity of a second client being within a predetermined range of the first client. The first client or the server determines the proximity of a second client being within a predetermined range by receiving a notification from the server, receiving a unique identifier from the second client, sensors of the first or the second client, or by determining that the location of the first client is within a predefined distance from the location of the second client. The method includes receiving, by the first client or the server, recommendations data associated with client data of the second client. The method includes adapting a user interface of the first client based on the recommendation data.

Abstract: A display case having end jamb lighting module and a center mullion lighting module is disclosed. The lighting modules include a shell and at least one substrate whereon lighting elements are mounted. The shell defines engagement slots used to affix the substrate to the shell, and an aperture allowing light from the lighting elements to be projected out. The lighting module may include a second substrate upon which electrical components are mounted, the electrical components for conditioning input power for the lighting elements. A reflective portion of the shell or a separate reflector mounted on the shell operates on the light to form a desired spatial distribution of light. For robustness in construction, the lighting module end caps allow the secure passage of wires.

Abstract: A luminaire featuring LEDs is disclosed. Each LED is affixed to a support structure and may have an individual reflector or refractor subsystem to modify light output. Multiple air vents or radiators are provided to even the temperature distribution between LEDs. In one embodiment, the support structure is arranged as a framework of bridges between LEDs with air gaps in between bridges. A fan may be provided to further enhance cooling. The LEDs and fan may have internal or external control means, including possibly wireless means. Alternative embodiments are also disclosed.

The sensor head includes a frame and a reference mass attached to the frame via at least one flexure, such that movement of the reference mass relative to the frame is constrained to a single predetermined path.

In particular, a Zener diode with pre-selected characteristics is used in parallel with an LED such that current will continue to flow through the circuit in case of LED failure. This adaptation in turn may be used in a series string combination.

An AC source may deliver energy to a circuit, featuring an intrinsic circuit board capacitor in series with an LED.

Abstract: A system for generating light using a blue or ultraviolet light emitter as excitation source for dispersed fluorescent material is disclosed. A light transmissive dispersant, which may colloidally suspend or chemically dissolve a fluorescent material, acts to distribute the fluorescent material over a spatial region. The combination of primary and secondary light emission results in a broader light spectrum than the primary emitter alone would produce. Extending the light transmissive dispersant medium containing fluorescent material over a spatial region spanning beyond point sources will minimize or eliminate bright spots, which might otherwise result from point sources. Use of a liquid dispersant may result in convective cooling of the emission sources.

Abstract: A lighting system is disclosed, including a first lighting module and a second lighting module connected parallel to the first lighting module. The first lighting module, with a first activation voltage, generates light at a first color temperature and the second lighting module, with a second activation voltage, generates light at a second color temperature. The two lighting modules generate light when current flows through them. When input voltage is changed, both the amount of current flowing through the two modules changes and the ratio of current flowing through the two lighting modules changes. The change in ratio changes the color temperature of the light produced by the lighting system resulting from combination of the light produced by the two modules. The combined output brightness and color temperature each change with applied power in such a way to emulate the lighting profile of an incandescent lamp.

Abstract: A low THD load adapter system is disclosed. The load adapter system includes a first lighting module and a second lighting module connected parallel to the first lighting module. During each AC cycle the first lighting module conducts current for a first portion of the cycle and the second lighting module conducts current for a second portion of the cycle. When combined, the total current drawn from the power source substantially tracks the shape of the applied AC voltage. Accordingly, there is minimal distortion, and low total harmonic distortion level is achieved.
