Abstract: The present disclosure envisages a flip cover assembly for an electrical plug-receptacle pair (210-210). The flip cover assembly comprises a flip cover (230), a first coupling element (234) and a second coupling element (240). The first coupling element (234) is formed integral with the flip cover (230). The second coupling element (234) is formed integral with the receptacle (220). The flip cover (230) is hinged to the receptacle by coupling the first coupling element (234) and the second coupling element (240). A cam (238) is configured on the first coupling element (234) to provide a moment of resistance to the rotation of the flip cover (230) from an open state to a closed state and thereby to prevent immediate closing of the flip cover (230). The flip cover assembly of the present disclosure facilitates convenient insertion of a plug in a corresponding receptacle.

Abstract: A power supply comprises voltage regulation circuitry, a load-share controller, and overcurrent protection circuitry. The voltage regulation circuitry is configured to output a regulated voltage. The load-share controller is configured to control the voltage regulation circuitry to adjust the regulated voltage responsive to a load-share voltage signal (LSV) that indicates an amount of load current being delivered to a load. The overcurrent protection circuitry is configured to selectively couple the regulated voltage to the load. When the load current exceeds a threshold current, the overcurrent protection circuitry is configured to decouple the regulated voltage from the load. While the regulated voltage is decoupled from the load, and when the LSV signal indicates that load current is being delivered to the load by a different power supply, the overcurrent protection circuitry is configured to recouple the regulated voltage to the load.

Abstract: A self-adjusting luminaire whose primary operation is to provide ambient or focused lighting in a hazardous environment is configured to modify (e.g., continuously) the energization intensity levels of its on-board illumination sources based on magnitudes of difference between an amount of light in the environment of the luminaire (e.g., including both light produced by the luminaire and ambient light) as measured by on-board sensors and a setpoint amount of light corresponding to the luminaire. Further, the self-adjusting luminaire may detect that its on-board sensors are malfunctioning when the illumination sensors fail to sense a change in the amount of light in the environment of the luminaire after the luminaire has modified the energization intensity levels of its illumination sources. Upon detecting a sensor malfunction, the self-adjusting luminaire may generate an alarm, and/or may automatically modify the intensity of its illumination sources to mitigate effects of the detected malfunction.

Abstract: A luminaire whose primary operation is to provide ambient or focused lighting in a hazardous environment is further configured to communicate, within the hazardous environment, alert and/or detected events or conditions via visual sequences. Different visual sequences uniquely identify respective alerts and/or detected conditions, which may include conditions occurring at the luminaire and/or conditions occurring within the hazardous environment. Different visual sequences are defined by respective blink sequences stored in a blink sequence library at the luminaire. Blink sequences are configurable, are distinguished by different amplitudes, frequencies, duty cycles, and other energization/de-energization waveform characteristics, and are applied to one or more illumination sources of the luminaire to thereby generate corresponding visual sequences in the hazardous environment.

Abstract: A smart luminaire system in which a primary luminaire controls and/or communicates with a set of one or more secondary luminaires may be disposed in a hazardous environment, such as an industrial process plant, manufacturing facility, oil refinery, etc. The primary luminaire may send driving commands to the set of secondary luminaires via an analog portion of a hybrid wired communication interface, and the driving commands may cause a driver of a second luminaire to energize on-board illumination source(s) at various intensities. The primary luminaire may send and/or receive administrative messages to/from the secondary luminaires via a digital portion of its hybrid wired communication interface. The smart luminaire system may be a stand-alone system, or may communicate with a controller or back-end system via a wireless communication interface of the primary luminaire, e.g., to receive control instructions and/or to send consolidated administrative messages on behalf of the smart luminaire system.

Abstract: A luminaire network improves energy efficiency, reduces light pollution, improves the robustness of luminaire control, and reduces maintenance time and costs by implementing intelligent and selective lighting control. For example, the luminaire network may automatically control dimming, light activation, light deactivation, static or dynamic luminaire grouping, and luminaire group control by implementing a hybrid control scheme that accounts for (i) local or global fixed schedules (e.g., based on time of day, worker schedules, etc.), (ii) detected daylight, (iii) detected motion of workers, and (iv) feedback from luminaires in the luminaire network. Further, one or more electronic devices (e.g., mobile devices) may couple to the luminaire network and may facilitate easy monitoring, configuration, and manual control of luminaires in the luminaire network, even when remotely connected to the luminaire network (e.g., via the cloud).
