Abstract: A controller for a lighting system is integrated with a light or other device. The controller operates in a local mode to control the integrated light only and in a remote mode to function as a serial network protocol controller for a series of connected devices. In remote mode, an IR/RF remote control is used to change settings for any device connected to the controller. The controller generates a fast serial network protocol instruction sequence, such as a DMX-512 protocol instruction sequence, from the commands received relatively slowly from the IR/RF remote control. The controller can include an hours of operation counter for the integrated light and a global setting function for changing all connected devices simultaneously to a single setting.

Abstract: An oil resistant, elastomeric rubber composite, particularly suited for use as an elastic tape for garments requiring a high degree of oil resistance due to conditions of its use. The rubber composite is made from a unique blend of nitrile rubber, polychloroprene (neoprene), epoxidised natural rubber and natural rubber. The elastomeric composite has excellent compatibility between two rubbers of different polarity when properly compounded and processed. The composite formed as an elastic tape has a low modulus of elasticity, good needle tear strength when sewn inside a garment, and it provides a comfortable fit for long use in addition to having reduced oil swell and oil abosorption characteristics. Elastic tapes made from the elastomeric rubber composite are particularly suitable for swimwear, shower caps, head bands, face masks and other garments with direct skin contact.
