Abstract: A light fixture assembly includes a housing having an interior surface, a ballast mounted on the interior surface of the housing, a first reflector releasably coupled to the interior surface of the housing, the ballast being substantially enclosed between the housing and the first reflector when the first reflector is in a first, closed position and being exposed when the first reflector is in a second, open position spaced from at least a portion of the interior surface, a lens releasably coupled to the housing, the first reflector being substantially enclosed between the lens and the housing when the lens is in a first, closed position and substantially exposed when the lens is in a second, open position. This construction provides relatively easy and quick access to the ballast for replacement and from below the fixture if it is mounted in or on the ceiling.

Abstract: A luminaire includes a support member and a light assembly. The support member includes a first end and a second end, and defines a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. The support member defines a center portion extending along the longitudinal axis. The light assembly includes at least one board supporting at least one light emitting element. The board is coupled to the center portion of the support member and oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A luminaire includes a support positioned in a ceiling. A light module is connected to the support having a base, a light emitter, and an optic. The light modules allow different luminaire configurations to be formed out of similar components.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable mappings of logical regions to physical regions for a memory resource for data writes to be maintained. A first mapping of logical regions to physical regions and a second mapping of logical regions to physical regions for a memory resource are maintained. The second mapping comprises a safe state of the memory resource. Responsive to receiving a request to write data to a logical region of the logical regions, a first set of data is written to a first physical region of the physical regions according to the first mapping of logical regions to physical regions. Responsive to receiving a request to read data from the logical region of the logical regions, a second set of data is read from a second physical region of the physical regions according to the second mapping of logical regions to physical regions.

Abstract: Various embodiments can control access to a computing resource (e.g., a memory resource) by detecting that a high priority activity is accessing the resource and preventing a lower priority activity from accessing the resource. The lower priority activity can be allowed access to the resource after the high priority activity is finished accessing the resource. Various embodiments enable memory operations to be mapped to account for changes in data ordering that can occur when a lower priority activity is suppressed. For example, when an activity requests that data be written to a logical memory region, a mapping is created that maps the logical memory region to a physical memory region. The data can then be written to the physical memory region.

Abstract: A load sensor assembly integrally formed with a tensioning assembly or alternatively an inline load sensor assembly that is removably attachable to a line of a tensioning assembly to thereby provide for a relatively more reliable, efficient, and precise determination of a load, is disclosed herein.

Abstract: A luminaire includes a support, a lens, an LED sheet, a top cover, a driver, an end bracket, and an end cap. The lens is connected to the support. The LED sheet is connected to the support between the lens and the support. The LED sheet has a plurality of LEDs, wherein a first LED is positioned in a first direction and a second LED is positioned in a second direction different from said first direction. The top cover is connected to the support. The driver is positioned in the support and electrically connected to the plurality of LEDs. The end bracket is connected to the support and the end cap is connected to the support covering the end bracket.

Abstract: A tension assembly comprising a step release track for an incremental release of a load tension, is disclosed herein.

Abstract: An LED architectural luminaire comprising a gull wing reflector, an LED mounting plate and a central lens. The mounting plate is disposed in said reflector and includes a central flat mounting surface flanked by a pair of angled mounting surfaces, each of the mounting surfaces includes a strip of LEDs. The central lens is disposed over and hingeably removably connected to the mounting plate. End caps, light seals, and optional gaskets are disposed on the ends of the luminaire.

Abstract: A retro-fitting power door, kits, and methods for using the same to convert existing light fixtures to accommodate new lighting technologies. The retro-fitting door is sized and configured to be used in place of an existing power door, such as those found on recessed HID lighting fixtures. The retro-fitting door includes the necessary electrical components to replace those removed with the removal of the existing power door.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a securing device configured to be worn by a person, characterised in that the securing device includes a locking mechanism that is configured to selectively secure a guard to the securing device at a plurality of positions relative to the securing device.

Abstract: An LED architectural luminaire for providing the lighting characteristics of a fluorescent luminaire comprises an LED mounting plate having angled sides for mounting strips of LEDs to allow the LEDs to illuminate the entire face of the luminaire to achieve bat-wing light distribution and a favorable spacing criteria of about 1.5.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable a device to create a pool of at least one empty application. An empty application can be configured to contain resources that are common across one or more other applications and initialize the resources for the one or more other applications effective to reduce startup time of the other applications. In one or more embodiments, an empty application can further be populated with the one or more other applications effective to cause the one or more other applications to execute. Alternately or additionally, a device can be monitored for an idle state, and, upon determining the device is in the idle state, at least one empty application can be created.
