Publication number: 20230007744Abstract: In an auto vibrancy mode, a vibrancy value for a lighting load may be automatically determined based on a selected color setting for the lighting load. The automatically determined vibrancy value may also be configured to emit light from the lighting load at or above a target CRI value for the selected color setting. The selected color setting may be a CCT value on the black-body curve or an x-y chromaticity value. If the selected color setting is CCT value on the black-body curve, the automatically determined vibrancy value may be a pre-defined vibrancy value that is configured to emit light from the lighting load at or above the target CRI value for the selected CCT value. If the selected color setting is an x-y chromaticity value, the automatically determined vibrancy value may be based on the distance between the selected x-y chromaticity value and the black-body curve.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: Lutron Technology Company LLCInventors: Prashant Chaturvedi, Bryan R. Barnes, Christopher M. Green

Patent number: 11166572Abstract: A system for displaying a product is disclosed. The system includes a wall having a recess therein and a display structure that defines the recess. The display structure extends through a front surface of the wall and includes a frame having a top panel, a bottom panel, and two side panels. The top and bottom panels are longer than the side panels. The system further includes a plurality of modular display units disposed within the display structure. Each modular display unit extends from the bottom panel to the top panel. At least a first one of the modular display units includes a frame open to a front exterior of the display structure and at least a second one of the modular display units is not open to the front exterior of the display structure. The system further includes a plurality of display elements disposed within the plurality of display units.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Vasco Agnoli, James Andrus, Sam Brown, James Casey Feeney, Christopher M.

Publication number: 20210307139Abstract: The lighting device may be configured to perform black body curve fading. For example, the control circuit may be configured to control the drive circuit such that the light emitted by the lighting load is adjusted (e.g., faded) along a black body curve. The control circuit may be configured to determine whether to fade from an initial color to a destination color in a Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) chromaticity space or an XY chromaticity space. The control circuit may be configured to determine whether the initial color and/or the destination color are on the black body curve. When the initial color and the destination color are determined to be on the black body curve, the control circuit may be configured to control the drive circuit such that the light emitted by the lighting device is adjusted from the initial color to the destination color along the black body curve.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Applicant: Lutron Technology Company LLCInventors: Christopher M. Green, Jaykrishna A. Shukla, Robert C. Newman, JR., Peter MacLellan, Matthew R. Blakeley
