Abstract: A film of a polycarbonate resin is adhered to a counter top surface to obtain a durable work surface.

Abstract: A panel assembly including a translucent panel and an electro-luminescent strip layered on the back of the translucent panel for imparting illumination to at least part of the translucent panel where the connection of the electro-luminescent strip to a power source results in illumination of the electro-luminescent strip and at least part of the translucent panel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a light box including (a) a plurality of elongated L-shaped top sections abutted length-wise end-to-end, each of the top sections having a top flange substantially horizontally oriented and an integral back flange substantially vertically oriented; and (b) a plurality of bottom sections where the bottom sections are attached to the top sections; and (c) a single elongated translucent lens slidably secured between the outer edges of the top and bottom sections.

Abstract: The invention includes a lens assembly for use in a lighting system including (a) an elongated translucent lens; (b) tracks for slidably receiving the lens; (c) means for securing the lens at one point thereby allowing thermal expansion and contraction of the elongated translucent lens along the tracks; and (d) means for receiving ends of the elongated translucent lens during expansion and contraction. The invention also includes a light box corner section attached to the corner of a raised canopy or roof including (a) a top assembly in an L-shaped configuration attached to the ceiling of the raised canopy; (b) a bottom panel having an L-shaped configuration attached to the top assembly; and (c) a corner section elongated translucent lens secured between at least a portion of the outer edges of said top assembly and bottom panel.
