Abstract: A low voltage lighting system including a fixture (200) having an array of LEDs (204) and an LED driver circuit (202). The LED driver circuit (202) includes a Switch-mode Power Supply (SMPS) unit (206), a current sensing unit (210), a control unit (208) and a dimming input level shifting and signal conditioning unit (212). The SMPS unit (206) produces an adequate DC power (+VLED, ?VLED) for driving the LEDs (204). The control unit (208) receives a sensed current signal from the current sensing unit (210) and controls the SMPS unit (206) to maintain the output current within a pre-determined range. The control unit (208) receives a dimming signal from the dimming unit (212) or an emergency signal from a supply unit (104) to alter the output power of the SMPS unit (206) from normal mode to dimming mode or emergency mode respectively.

Abstract: An allowed client server, that is authorized to access a resource server over a given port, receives a client request, from a client computing system, to access the resource server. The allowed client server authenticates and authorizes the request, using an authentication and authorization mechanism, and selects a port with which to communicate with the client computing system. The identity of that port is provided to the client computing system, and a port forwarding mechanism forwards traffic between the client computing system and the resource server, through the client-facing port and to the given port on the resource server.

Abstract: OLED display color output may vary substantially as a function of display temperature, which changes over time. Luminance of each of the pixels is defined by the current flowing therethrough, which is a function of the applied voltage and resistivity of the pixels. Temperature affects the resistivity of the pixels and thus the current flowing therethrough if voltage is held constant. The temperature response of red, green, and blue pixels differs, particularly at low applied voltage levels. As a result, the relative luminance of red, green, blue may vary with temperature changes, which may yield an undesirable overall color variance. The presently disclosed systems and methods dynamically adjust driving voltage to maintain color quality within a desired specification, while also reducing (or in some implementations, minimizing) power consumption of the OLED display.

Abstract: A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) generates concurrent first radar pulses in first frequency channels. The SAR transmits, and receives returns of, the concurrent first radar pulses by first antenna feeds that form first beams in the first frequency channels and that are directed to respective first subswaths of a swath on the Earth separated by subswath gaps. The SAR generates concurrent second radar pulses in second frequency channels. The SAR transmits, and receives returns of, the concurrent second radar pulses by second antenna feeds configured to form second beams in the second frequency channels and that are directed to respective second subswaths of the swath on the Earth and that coincide with the subswath gaps. The SAR processes the returns of the first radar pulses from the first subswaths and the returns of the second radar pulses from the second subswaths to form a SAR image contiguous across the swath.

Abstract: A standard smoking lighter slides into a hole on top of a plastic sheath so that only the top of the lighter is exposed. The bottom of the sheath has a hammer like protrusion at one end to stuff tobacco or other herb into a pipe. The opposite end of the bottom has a pivot point for a poker which serves to mix the herb and ash within the pipe and/or clean the debris from the pipe. The poker folds up into the sheath when not in use. Thus, a three function pipe tool provides a lighter, a stuffer and a poker.
