Abstract: A lighting device having a power failure mode for use with one or more other networked devices is disclosed. In embodiments, the lighting device may comprise an outer globe, a diffuser, a plurality of light pipes, an outer cowling, a power input connector, a power control printed circuit board, a communication and control printed circuit board, an indicator printed circuit board, one or more microprocessors, an auxiliary device, and an LED lighting printed circuit board. In embodiments, the lighting device may communicate with one or more other networked devices, such as second lighting devices, mobile phones, servers, remote controls, and/or home or office automation equipment. The lighting device may be powered through a light socket or a backup battery in a power failure mode.

Abstract: A lighting device for use with one or more other networked devices is disclosed. In embodiments, the lighting device may comprise an outer globe, a diffuser, an outer cowling, a power input connector, a power control printed circuit board, a communication and control printed circuit board, an indicator printed circuit board, one or more microprocessors, a real-time clock, a supercapacitor, and an LED lighting printed circuit board. In embodiments, the real-time clock may be powered by the supercapacitor to track time without power from an input power source for the lighting device, enabling the lighting device to implement time-dependent settings, such as pre-programmed color temperatures and/or light intensities. The lighting device may communicate with one or more other networked devices, such as second lighting devices, mobile phones, servers, remote controls, and/or home or office automation equipment. The lighting device may be powered through a light socket.

Abstract: A dictionary-based data compression technique wherein compression occurs at a variety of levels in response to word, phrase, super-phrase (sentence), and context-sensitive recognition. A separate dictionary is used at each compression level so that word compression occurs first, followed by phrase compression, followed by other compressions. Disclosed applications built upon the compression strategy include an idiomatic-language translator and a voice-recognition control system.
