  • Patent number: 11596249
    Abstract: The Porter Air Touch is a wireless powered LED drinking glass with internal LED lights that emits light but does not require internal batteries. The drinking glass internal LED lights receive energy via a large flat surface that emits an electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field emitted from the two inductive plates permeates through a non-conductive barrier that reaches the bottom of the LED drinking glass. Two metallic drinking glass aluminum contact plates along the bottom of the LED drinking glasses absorb the electromagnetic energy from the inductive plates and powers the LED lights wirelessly.

  • Patent number: 11592164
    Abstract: A stage light fixture capable of avoiding lighting in power off includes a light head, a brake motor, an auxiliary power supply, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the brake motor to drive the light head to move to a light-avoiding angle at which strong lighting cannot directly shining into a lighting outlet of the light head and perform power-off processing on the brake motor when the brake motor is switched to be powered by the auxiliary power supply. When the stage light fixture is suddenly powered off, the auxiliary power supply will supply power to the brake motor, and the controller enables a motor unit of the brake motor to drive the light head to move to the light-avoiding angle so as to avoid heat damage to the components inside the light head due to strong lighting irradiation.

  • Patent number: 11555989
    Abstract: An optical device includes a reflector-section that includes a light-ingress surface for receiving light from a light source, a reflector surface for reflecting the light based on total internal reflection, and a light-egress surface through which the reflected light exits the optical device. When the light source is at a predetermined position with respect to the optical device, an angle of incidence (?i) of the light at the light-egress surface is a polarization angle at which a p-polarized component of the light is transmitted through the light-egress surface without being reflected by the light-egress surface. Thus, unwanted reflections at the light-egress surface can be reduced and thereby unwanted scattering of light is reduced while having good transmitting efficacy.

  • Patent number: 11541137
    Abstract: An overhead lighting fixture containing both visible light sources and UV light sources is disclosed herein. UV light can sanitize/disinfect the surrounding environment after the environment over a period of about 30-45 minutes. In this way, viruses, germs, bacteria, mold, and the like can be destroyed to clean the air and/or surfaces (e.g., furniture). Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention provide a controllable UV lighting assembly that can produce UV light to sanitize/disinfect an area and can be automatically disabled to prevent UV light exposure to those in the area using a motion sensor. The lighting assembly can produce visible light while the UV light source is disabled. According to some embodiments, the duration of UV light production is controlled by a timer for power savings.
