Abstract: An illumination device for a firearm may include a housing supporting multiple lamps. A switch actuator of the device is rotationally coupled to a rear end of the housing. A cam is coupled to the switch actuator, such that the cam rotates with the actuator, the cam having a first end including a magnet and a second end having a shaped cam surface configured to interface with a cam follower. The actuator and the cam are biased toward a neutral position. Selective rotation of the cam causes a magnet of the cam to operate one or more magnetic switches. The cam is transitionable between a plurality of discrete positions, e.g., including a pair of toggle positions in the first rotational direction from the neutral position, and a pair of momentary positions disposed on the cam in the second rotational direction from the neutral position.

Abstract: A rechargeable lamp includes a charging base and a lamp. In a charging arrangement the charging base and a base of the lamp are engaged so that the charging base supports the lamp in an upright position and a charger therein charges a rechargeable electrical power source of the lamp. In a separated arrangement, the lamp is portable and self-supporting in an upright position with the lamp base positioned on a substantially horizontal support surface. In some instances the recharging is wireless; in those instances other wirelessly rechargeable devices can be recharged on the charging base when it is separated from the lamp.

Abstract: A kit for joining together at least a pair of light fixture segments at a joint interface therebetween to form a light fixture assembly, comprises at least a pair of complementary coupling units, each coupling unit configured to be located in an operative position in one of said light fixture segments to join the other coupling unit at the joint interface defined by complementary abutment surfaces on said light fixture segments, at least one of the complementary coupling units being configured to be adjustably located in the operative position to displace another of the coupling units along a designated travel path toward a limit position, wherein the joining of the light fixture segments at the joint interface occurs in advance of the other coupling unit reaching the limit position.

Abstract: A light guide is provided having an elongate body extending in a longitudinal direction having a light transmission portion with a forward light exit surface and a reflective track extending opposite the light exit surface. A plurality of reflective elements are formed along the reflective track and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. Each reflective element has a center segment and a pair of edge segments each oriented at a spread angle from the center segment toward the light transmission portion, thereby increasing a spread of light output in a horizontal direction from the light transmission portion.

Abstract: A system and a method for dynamically optimizing an instrument system workflow based on operational monitoring and managing of a workflow for a hardware system. The system includes instrument resources and sample chambers, each resource and chamber with a dedicated sensor configured to acquire data. The system further includes a computing device communicatively connected to the instrument resources and sample chambers. The computing device includes a software application or program comprising a workflow builder, an execution engine, an analytics engine, a virtual system modeling engine, and an optional machine learning engine.

Abstract: In biosciences and related fields, it can be useful to modify surfaces of apparatuses, devices, and materials that contact biomaterials such as biomolecules and biological micro-objects. Described herein are surface modifying and surface functionalizing reagents, preparation thereof, and methods for modifying surfaces to provide improved or altered performance with biomaterials.

Abstract: A coordinated multi-vehicle lighting system includes a remote coordination system and at least two vehicles. Each vehicle has a light installation that includes a front light, a rear light, a navigation module, and a controller in operable communication with the front light, the rear light, and the navigation module. Location data from the navigation module is provided to the remote coordination system, and the remote coordination system determines a status for each vehicle by comparing the location data from the vehicle to the location data from each of the other vehicles. The remote coordination system transmits the status of each vehicle to the controller of that vehicle. For each vehicle, the controller is programmed to selectively reduce an illumination of the front light and of the rear light according to the status of the vehicle.

Abstract: A lighting system including one or more loads and one or more load managers electrically coupled to or embedded in the one or more loads. The one or more load managers are configured to measure an input voltage from the one or more loads, determine if the input voltage is below a minimum voltage for the lighting system, when the input voltage is below the minimum voltage threshold, adjust a power level of the lighting system, and when the input voltage is above a minimum voltage, store the power level as an operational power for the lighting system.

Abstract: A vision inspection and correction method, which uses an image adjustment software/device to separate the eyes of the inspected person on an independent display screen, and the visual mark seen by the same vision is designed to be misaligned; through the guidance and interaction of the inspector and the inspected person, the inspector can adjust the image operation to zoom in or out, shift, focus, diverge, and rotate, etc., so that the inspected person's binocular images can be clearly distinguished and adjusted. Then, the binocular images are aligned, and the inspector will implant the correction parameters during the image adjustment process into 3D projectors, VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality device), MR hybrid reality device and other equipment to adjust the binocular digital image parameters, so users have, or can provide to a lens maker, personalized adjustment for comfortable images of both eyes.

Abstract: A fixture system includes a housing configured to be mounted in an upper region of a room or area. A light source is supported by the housing for providing visible light to illuminate at least a portion of the room or area. An ultraviolet radiation (UVR) system is supported by the housing for emitting UVC radiation in an upper region of the room or area. The UVR system includes at least one UVC emitting source and an optic member configured to direct UVC radiation in a pattern having a vertical width dimension that is above a threshold height from a floor or ground in the room or area.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for performing assays, including general functional assays, on a biological cell. Also disclosed herein are methods of barcoding the 5? ends of RNA from a biological cell and methods of preparation of expression constructs from the barcoded RNA. The barcoded RNA can encode proteins of interest, such as B cell receptor (BCR) heavy and light chain sequences. The expression constructs can be generated individually or in a paired/multiplexed manner, allowing rapid re-expression of individual proteins or protein complexes.
