  • Publication number: 20190113183
    Abstract: A lighting device or luminaire is provided having a shallow body. A door in one section of the body provides access to a thermally isolated electronics chamber. The electronics components in the chamber are separated from the light source by a transverse wall.

  • Patent number: 6863266
    Abstract: A push button air primer including a priming piston slidably housed in a primer housing and a sealing piston slidably housed in the priming piston. To prime the carburetor, the operator depresses the priming piston causing both priming piston and sealing piston to slide within the primer housing until the sealing piston bears against the carburetor body to seal an opening to an internal vent passage. Further movement of the priming piston forces air from the housing into a fuel bowl, thereby pressurizing the fuel bowl and causing fuel to move from the fuel bowl into the throat of the carburetor.

  • Patent number: 6840508
    Abstract: A primer assembly is provided including a resilient primer bulb which, along with the carburetor body, defines a variable volume priming chamber. A plunger or blocking element is slidably disposed within the priming chamber. Upon initial depression of the primer bulb, the primer bulb engages and depresses the plunger element toward the carburetor body to seal off an internal vent passage from the primer chamber and the fuel bowl. Thereafter, further depression of the primer bulb forces air from within the primer chamber into the fuel bowl to pressurize the fuel bowl and force an amount of fuel into the throat of the carburetor for priming. Advantageously, the plunger element functions to effectively seal the internal vent passageway from the primer chamber and fuel bowl regardless of the direction from which the primer bulb is depressed.

  • Patent number: 6791284
    Abstract: A new and improved outdoor lighting control system for an outdoor lighting system network for automatically sensing, conveying, and recording data relevant to the operation of the lighting system network so that both control and maintenance can be performed more efficiently. At each of plural lamp locations in the network, there is a controller module that receives electric power input and that supplies electric power to the remaining lamp locations. Each controller module has a first relay to deliver current to one or more outdoor illumination lamps at the controller module's location and a second relay for switching electric power on to a succeeding lamp location. A first current sensor monitors current to the lamps at each lamp location, and a second current sensor monitors current to the remaining locations. The network's power lines form portions of a bi-directional data link via which data is transmitted from each controller module to a command station, and vice versa.
