  • Wireless swimming pool LED lighting device
    Patent number: 11326363
    Abstract: A LED lighting device (80) is installable on a standard wall fitting (10). The LED lighting device (80) includes an inductive power transmitter (84) including a housing (146), a tee top (112) on the housing (146) including a flat inductive power transfer face (120), and an inductive transmitter coil (154) located within the tee top (112). A LED lamp module (86) of the LED lighting device (80) includes a LED lamp body (184) containing one or more LEDs (180), a threaded male portion (131) formed on the LED lamp body (184) and shaped to threadably engage the standard wall fitting (10), an inductive power receiver pad (132) located adjacent a flat surface (120) of the threaded male portion (131), and an inductive power receiver coil (166) located in the LED lamp body (184). When the LED lighting device (80) is installed on the standard wall fitting (10), the LED lamp module (86) is wirelessly powered by the inductive power transmitter (84).

  • Pool video safety, security and intrusion surveillance and monitoring system
    Patent number: 7724133
    Abstract: A pool safety sensing system to attempt to reduce the likelihood of drowning visually observes a zone with a camera, and if detected motion occurs, and alarm is generated. The alarm can be visible, audible, text based (email, with or without attached images, instant message) or telephonic. Alarm events can be stored for future reference. Zones of sensing or zones to ignore when monitoring may be defined in the field of view of the camera. Motion thresholds, such as size of moving object, speed of movement, can be employed to adapt to particular location requirements and types of sensing.
