  • Asymmetric vision enhancement optics, luminaires providing asymmetric light distributions and associated methods
    Patent number: 9903561
    Abstract: A luminaire provides an asymmetric light distribution biased toward a forward horizontal direction. The luminaire includes a luminaire housing, light engines, dome optics, and first and second reflecting surfaces. The light engines emit light downwardly, and are in a row substantially orthogonal to the forward direction. Each of the dome optics is substantially similar, and refracts the light emitted by at least one of the light engines. The first reflecting surface reflects at least a first portion of the refracted light toward the forward direction, is proximate and behind each of the dome optics, forms an approximately vertical angle, and has a height greater than or equal to a height of the dome optics. The second reflecting surface is forward of the dome optics, forms an angle of 45 degrees or more with respect to vertical, and reflects downwardly at least a second portion of the refracted light.

  • ELECTROMECHANICAL TRIGGER GUARD PROTECTIVE ENCLOSURE
    Publication number: 20180051949
    Abstract: The electromechanical trigger guard protective enclosure is a safety device intended to prevent access to the trigger of any firearm with an accessory rail. The present invention has a keypad, which activates the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism either covers the trigger guard opening or slides open revealing the trigger guard for use. The protective enclosure is affixed to the accessory rail on a gun, ensuring that it is able to be used at all times, preventing any inability to properly enclose the trigger guard area. This protective sheath allows for the weapon to remain loaded and ready to fire at all times, aiding greatly in times of self-defense.

  • Method for stent shaping
    Patent number: 9889487
    Abstract: An apparatus for crimping a radially expandable stent includes a pressure vessel, shaping balloon, and mandrel. The mandrel is configured to slidingly receive a stent thereon, and to be slidingly advanced into the pressure vessel. The shaping balloon is inflated to radially compress the stent onto the form of the mandrel; such compression need not be uniform. Pressurization of the shaping balloon facilitates the expansion of the balloon to achieve compression of the stent, with depressurization of the shaping balloon causing the balloon to return to an unexpanded state.

  • Real-time flow compensation in usage accumulation
    Patent number: 9891088
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for compensating for inaccuracies in flow measurement in real-time during accumulation of usage. A pulse count indicating an amount of flow in a meter over a measurement period is read. An average flow rate through the meter for the measurement period is determined and a correction factor is looked up from a table based on the average flow rate. A total usage accumulator for the meter is then updated with the amount of flow over the measurement period based on the pulse count and the correction factor.
