  • Patent number: 12292181
    Abstract: A canopy luminaire mounting system includes a canopy socket assembly configured to be mounted to canopy structure. A canopy luminaire includes a mating connector assembly that is configured to be received by the canopy socket assembly. The canopy luminaire is removably secured to the canopy socket assembly in response to relative rotation of the canopy luminaire and the canopy socket assembly. The canopy socket assembly may include at least one electrical contact and the mating connector assembly of the canopy luminaire may include at least one second electrical contact that cooperates with the at least one first electrical contact to establish an electrical connection therebetween in response to the relative rotation of the canopy luminaire and the canopy socket assembly.

  • Patent number: 12190706
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for creating and providing reminders that involve an activity states of an application on a device. An activity state can correspond to a particular view within an application, e.g., a view that was reached after several inputs from a user. A user can provide a specification of an activity state in a variety of ways, e.g., providing a reminder command while the application is executing in the foreground with the desired activity state or by voice commands that specify the activity state. A user can provide one or more trigger criteria. Once the reminder is triggered, the specified activity state can be provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 12106312
    Abstract: A method of generating a plurality of behavioral site lists. The method comprises receiving a plurality of interest category lists by a behavioral site list generation application executing on a computer system, wherein each interest category list comprises a plurality of pseudonymous subscriber identities associated with the pre-defined interest category; receiving a plurality of data on subscriber visits to web sites and on application identities by the application; generating behavioral site lists by the application based on determining over-indexing of pseudonymous subscriber identities provided in the data on subscriber visits to web sites and on application identities in the interest category lists, wherein each behavioral site list comprises a plurality of web site addresses and a plurality of application identities that are deemed to have an above average association to subscribers with an interest in the interest category associated with the behavioral site list.

  • Patent number: 11668443
    Abstract: An uplight device for use with a luminaire that has a housing configured to be supported from a surface by a stem with a wireway. The uplight device includes a body having a radially outwardly directed annular flange, a vertically oriented annular rim encircling the annular flange, and a passageway extending through the body, and an uplight substrate supported on a first side of the annular flange. The uplight substrate includes a plurality of light emitting sources arranged in an array on a first side of the uplight substrate. The uplight device further includes an optical lens covering the first side of the annular flange and the uplight substrate. The body of the uplight device is configured to be coupled between the stem and housing of the luminaire such that the passageway communicates with the wireway of the stem and a chamber of the luminaire.
