Abstract: A cable lock capable of locking multiple objects, comprises a housing, a plurality of cables, a block, and a locking unit. The housing has a groove and a slot, and the two end portions of each cable can only move within the groove and cannot exit the housing through the slot. When the locking unit is operated into an unlocked state, the block can be moved away from an opening in the housing, allowing each end portion to exit the housing through the opening.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a first light source with a first color temperature, a second light source with a second color temperature, and a control module. The control module operates the lighting apparatus in two modes. In the first mode, the control module operates the lighting apparatus in a first linear combination of two light sources, resulting in a first operating color temperature for the lighting apparatus. In the second mode, the control module operates the lighting apparatus in a second linear combination of two light sources, resulting in a second operating color temperature. The control module is configured to alternate the operation of the lighting apparatus between the first mode and the second mode at a frequency between 35 to 45 Hz, resulting in a blended color. Additional technical features a are introduced to minimize the light output difference of the first light source and the second light source.

Abstract: A gamma stimulation apparatus comprises a rectifier, a microcontroller, a first modulation operation switch (MOS), a second MOS, and first and second light sources. The microcontroller sends the first MOS a first signal having a first periodical waveform at a first operating frequency (OF1). The first MOS operates the first light source according to the first signal, producing a first light output at the OF1 frequency. The microcontroller sends the second MOS a second signal having a second periodical waveform at a second operating frequency (OF2). The second MOS operates the second light source according to the second signal, producing a second light output at the OF2 frequency. The first and second light outputs superimpose each other to form a superimposed light having a superimposed frequency equal to OF2?OF1 and between 20 Hz and 45 Hz. The superimposed light appears flicker-free (free of flicker) to eyes of a subject.

Abstract: A spectral power distribution (SPD) fusion lighting apparatus includes a first visible light source with a first SPD, a second visible light source with a second SPD, a driver circuit, and a controller. The first SPD is different than the second SPD markedly in a 50 nm wavelength range. The controller toggles the turning on of the first visible light and the second visible light at a frequency greater than 25 Hz. The first visible light source is turned on during one half of the duty cycle, whereas the second visible light source is turned on during the other half of the duty cycle. The first visible light source and the second visible light emit similar light outputs and have similar chromaticity coordinates on the CIE 1931 color space chromaticity diagram. In some embodiments a sound wave generator is used to generate a sound wave at the same frequency.

Abstract: A germicidal lighting apparatus with visible glare includes a first light source, a second light source, a first driver, a second driver, and a controller. The first light source emits a light in a 180˜280 nm wavelength range and the second light source emits a light in a visible wavelength range greater than 400 nm. The second light source is positioned adjacent to the first light source and serves as a visible glare source to deter an occupant from looking at the apparatus directly. The controller can turn on both the first light source and the second light source simultaneously to produce a unified glare rating (UGR) greater than 16. The apparatus dispenses over a prorated 8-hour period an irradiation dosage greater than American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH)-specified Eye Threshold Limit Values (TLV) but less than ACGIH-specified Skin TLV to a substance or surface.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus comprises a controller and three lights sources each with a different color temperature. The controller turns on the second light source and the third light source alternately at a strobing frequency between 30 Hz and 65 Hz, resulting in a strobing light (out of the second light source and the third light source) with a combined color temperature approximating the color temperature of the first light source. Alternatively, the lighting apparatus includes a controller and two light sources. The first light source and the second light source operate at different frequencies, resulting in a superimposed light with an operating frequency equal to the difference of these two frequencies. Alternatively, the lighting apparatus turns off one of the two light sources periodically for a short period of time to induce the brain of a subject to better recognize the frequency of the superimposed light.

Abstract: A self-disinfecting photocatalyst sheet includes a substrate material, a photocatalyst layer, and a primer. The photocatalyst layer comprises a primary photocatalyst and a secondary photocatalyst. The primary photocatalyst is anatase titanium dioxide and the secondary photocatalyst comprises a metallic photocatalyst. The secondary photocatalyst absorbs a visible light energy, transfers the energy to the primary photocatalyst, thus activating the primary photocatalyst as the primary disinfecting agent. The substrate material binds the photocatalyst layer by either connecting the primary photocatalyst and/or the secondary photocatalyst through two oxygen atoms of a carboxyl group (COO) comprising the primer, or by forming hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl group and a surface hydroxyl group (OH—) of the primary photocatalyst. The self-disinfecting photocatalyst sheet is activatable by a visible light and can self-disinfect against bacteria and viruses.
