  • Publication number: 20190121597
    Abstract: A system includes a video display panel (VDP). The VDP further comprises a plurality of light-emitting structures. The system further includes a T-support structure for a suspended ceiling; the T-support structure is to receive the VDP. Finally, a riser may be disposed between the VDP and the T-support structure, such that the riser is sized to receive the VDP and hold the VDP substantially flush with the T-support structure.

  • Patent number: 10250239
    Abstract: A filter with five or more electrically isolated inputs filtering EMI is provided for configurable lighting systems in an MRI room. The LED driver can be remote or on board the luminaire. Fixtures with no on-board electronics and Cat5 wiring are also possible given the MZPS characteristics. The embodiment of the filter includes independent, electrically isolated, low voltage, and low current feedthroughs. While the filter housing can take any form, the preferred embodiment is DB (or D-subminiature which contains two or more rows of pins or sockets surrounded by a D-shaped metal shield that, among other things, screens against EMI). Individual feedthrough filters may be paralleled to increase total current required for increase load demand for MRI lighting systems. Further, the use of electrically isolated AC/DC or DC/DC drive electronics, enable the use of a low cost multi-input filter which supplies an MRI scan room with power to drive luminaires.
