Abstract: Content items and a dynamic menu element are displayed. Responsive to selection and dragging of the dynamic menu element over a particular content item, a menu of actions contextual to the particular content item is displayed, and the particular content item is highlighted to indicate that the displayed menu is related to the particular content item. Responsive to release of the dynamic menu element over the particular content item, the displayed menu is rendered actionable so that the actions thereof selectable; prior to release of the dynamic menu element over the particular content item, the displayed menu is non-actionable and no action is selectable. Responsive to selection of a specific action of the menu being displayed, the selected specific action is performed in relation to the particular content item.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and instructions for disinfecting air. The apparatus may include, and the methods may involve, a fixture. The fixture may include a germicidal light source. The fixture may include a fan. The fan may circulate air through a volume into which the germicidal light source propagates germicidal light. The light source may be configured to emit, upward from a horizontal plane, a beam that, absent reflection off an environmental object, does not cross the horizontal plane. The apparatus may include a shield that prevents light from the light source from crossing the horizontal plane. The sensor may face upward from the horizontal plane. The sensor may face downward from the horizontal plane.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for deploying a fixture. The apparatus may include, and the methods may involve, apparatus for mounting a fixture in a hardscape. The apparatus may include a mount. The mount may include an anchor. The anchor may be configured to be secured to the hardscape. The apparatus may include a support. The support may be fixed to the anchor. The support may be configured to hold the fixture. The apparatus may include a connector. The connector may be configured to releasably connect to an electrical terminal of the fixture. Connection of the connector to the fixture may form a watertight enclosure about the terminal. The connector may include a casing defining a groove. The connector may include an elastomeric ring disposed in the groove. The connector may be configured to prevent movement of the connector relative to the support.

Abstract: A computing device includes a processor and a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions. The instructions are executable by the processor to: generate a graphical user interface including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion including a tree menu comprising a plurality of topic links; and in response to a user selection of a first topic link in the tree menu, present a first topic window in the second portion of the graphical user interface. The instructions are further executable by the processor to, in response to a user command to minimize the first content window: minimize the first content window; and present a snapshot window in the second portion of the graphical user interface, the snapshot window comprising a first snapshot of the first topic window.

Abstract: LED related lighting methods and apparatus are described. Various features relate to water tight light fixtures. Some of the fixtures are flood lights. The light fixtures in at least some embodiments include power control features. In flood light embodiments beam angle and power or light output distribution can be controlled without opening the light assembly or compromising the water tight seals which also protect against dirt. The light fixtures also support tilt angle adjustments and light fixture head adjustments. Beam distribution pattern can also be changed in some embodiments as well as power control. Beam distribution pattern, power control and tilt angle adjustments are supported in some embodiments but need not be supported in all embodiments with some embodiments using one or more of the described features but not all features.
