Abstract: A system for monitoring and controlling the electrical infrastructure of a building includes at least one sensor for sensing an operating characteristic in the building, and a processor for receiving information from the at least one sensor and predicting a future operating characteristic.

Abstract: A light fixture has a body and a plurality of light emitting diodes. A carrier supports the light emitting diodes and is pivotally mounted to the body. An asymmetric lens is mounted to the carrier.

Abstract: A light apparatus is mounted to a wall of a building. At least one elongate mounting plate is engaged to the wall extending essentially horizontally along the wall. A number of brackets are mounted to the mounting plate and extend forward therefrom. One or more trim pieces are mounted generally below and in front of the brackets. A number of holding elements mount at least one light source to at least one of the elongate mounting plates and brackets.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle has an outlet and senses the operating temperature and automatically turns off when the temperature rises above a predetermined threshold. The receptacle has a reset button that must be manually operated to enable operation of the outlet to resume.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle has multiple thermal sensors, each of which can trigger automatic shut off when the temperature rises above a predetermined threshold. After automatically turning off, the receptacle remains permanently non-conducting.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle senses its operating temperature and automatically turns off when the temperature rises above a predetermined threshold. The receptacle has a button that visually indicates when the receptacle has reached its temperature threshold. After automatically turning off, the receptacle remains permanently non-conducting.

Abstract: A portable electrical receptacle, such as a receptacle adapter or power strip, has multiple thermal sensors, each of which can trigger automatic shut off when the temperature rises above a predetermined threshold. After automatically turning off, the receptacle remains permanently non-conducting.

Abstract: A light apparatus has an elongate bulb extending essentially in a first direction. An elongate reflector has a first surface generally facing the bulb and a second surface generally facing away from the bulb. A housing supports the reflector and bulb. The housing has a back portion for mounting the apparatus to a wall. The housing has a lower portion extending forward from the back portion and extending below the reflector and bulb and having an upwardly open channel. The housing has a front element having a lower edge portion accommodated within the channel and extending upward forward of the bulb.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a track lighting system comprising a lighting fixture, a powered track having electrical conductors, and a two-piece device for electrically and mechanically connecting the light fixture to the powered track. The two-piece device includes a housing having contacts for engaging the track conductors, a transformer connected to the contacts, and a connection for receiving a jack-type connector to which the light fixture is electrically and mechanically connected. In a preferred embodiment, the receiving connection includes a spring member for electrically and mechanically engaging a tip portion of the jack connector and an annular wire terminal for forming part of an electrical circuit with a second conductive portion of the jack connector.
