Abstract: An augmented lens assembly for use with a light source featuring a main lens component having one or a plurality of light refocusing elements associated with the main lens and arranged along at least one surface of the main lens of the lens assembly that provides for improved uniformity in light distribution and improved illumination. Luminaires featuring one or a plurality of augmented lens assemblies, associated light sources and optionally, baffles, further featuring one or more main lens components having one or more light refocusing elements associated with the main lens portion and arranged along at least one surface of the main lens to provide for improved uniformity in light distribution, improved illumination and aesthetic improvements to the visual appearance of the luminaires when observed in either a lighted or non-lighted condition.

Abstract: Bite-actuated mouthpieces and drink vessels including bite-actuated mouthpieces are disclosed. Bite-actuated mouthpieces comprise a body comprising a dispensing wall, one or more sidewalls extending from the dispensing wall that with the dispensing wall define an internal volume, and an inlet to the internal volume. The self-sealing exit is biased toward a closed configuration and is configured to be selectively reconfigured from the closed configuration to an open configuration responsive to user-applied compressive forces to opposing bite regions. The dispensing wall has a dispensing face opposite the internal volume, and in some examples, the dispensing face is concave.
