  • Methods and systems for an automated design, fulfillment, deployment and operation platform for lighting installations
    Patent number: 11989490
    Abstract: A platform for design of a lighting installation generally includes an automated search engine for retrieving and storing a plurality of lighting objects in a lighting object library and a lighting design environment providing a visual representation of a lighting space containing lighting space objects and lighting objects. The visual representation is based on properties of the lighting space objects and lighting objects obtained from the lighting object library. A plurality of aesthetic filters is configured to permit a designer in a design environment to adjust parameters of the plurality of lighting objects handled in the design environment to provide a desired collective lighting effect using the plurality of lighting objects.

  • Gas turbine engine fuel system with fuel metering valve
    Publication number: 20070180813
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine fuel metering valve is configured to move within an operating position range having a first end position for establishing a first fuel flow rate, a second end position for establishing a second fuel flow rate, and an intermediate position located between the first and second end positions for establishing a third fuel flow rate. The first and second fuel flow rates are either both higher than or both lower than the third fuel flow rate.
