Abstract: A lighting system comprising a light source operable to emit a source light, a sensor operable to sense environmental light from an environment, and a controller operatively connected to each of the sensor and the light source and configured to analyze the environmental light sensed by the sensor to at least one of detect and generate data relating to a condition of the environment, the data being transmittable in a transmitted data light. The sensor is operable to sense the presence or absence of a dominant wavelength associated with the environmental light. Additionally, the controller is operable to correlate the dominant wavelength with a substance, the controller is configured to detect a level of the dominant wavelength correlated with the substance, and the controller is configured to operate the lighting system to generate an alert based upon the detected level of the dominant wavelength.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for securing a trusted transaction using a biometric identity verification system comprising a peripheral device, a vendor server, and a verification server. The method may comprise the steps of receiving a biometric indicator at the peripheral device, and forwarding the biometric indicator to the vendor server. The method may further comprise forwarding the biometric indicator to the verification server which may verify the biometric indicator by translating the biometric indicator into an encryption value, and computing an identity verification flag, defined as a pulse upon detecting a match of the encryption value and a stored cypher record. The vendor server may execute the trusted transaction by receiving the pulse signifying a match of the encryption values found by the verification server.

Abstract: A thoroughfare lighting device may include a housing configured to be attached to a thoroughfare surface, having a top surface, a proximal face, a distal face, and first and second opposing sidewalls, a driver circuit, a plurality of light-emitting diodes electrically coupled to the driver circuit comprising a first set of LEDs configured to emit a generally white light, and a second set of LEDs configured to emit colored light that is observable by an observer. The lighting device may also include an optic carried by the housing and positioned in optical communication with the plurality of LEDs. The color of light emitted by the second set of LEDs may be selectable to indicate a condition of the thoroughfare in a direction of travel of the observer. Additionally, the first sidewall may taper in a direction of the distal face.
