  • Publication number: 20140254164
    Abstract: Disclosed in an example embodiment herein is an in-pavement light fixture with a removable protective cover member. The removable protective cover member is mounted on a base and protects the light source and optics. If a repair to the light source, optics, and/or light source is needed, the removable protective cover member can be removed from the base, eliminating the need to remove the in-pavement light fixture from its mounting in the pavement.

  • Patent number: 7912526
    Abstract: A system for detecting and analyzing electrical activity in the anatomy of an organism underlying an electrode array provides signals corresponding to electrical activity adjacent each electrode. Such signals are correlated to the underlying anatomy of the organism and representative outputs presented through various types of output devices. Such outputs may include variations in coloration or other qualities in correspondence with representations of underlying anatomical structures. The system includes electrode structures and methods for producing and attaching electrode arrays to the organism. The exemplary form of the invention is used in connection with the diagnosis of muscle activity in the lower lumbar regions of humans. Levels of muscle activity detected are analyzed by correlation with the muscular structures underlying the electrode array. Forms of the invention may be used in other applications.
