Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a light emitting diode (LED) module including a plurality of LEDs, each of the plurality of LEDs being spaced apart from one or more neighboring LEDs by a spacing, a plurality of optics each disposed over a corresponding LED of the plurality of LEDs, each of the plurality of optics having a radius, and a plurality of LED chips disposed within the plurality of LEDs and each having a LED light emitting surface having one or more sides with a length, wherein a ratio of the spacing, the radius, and the length is configured to cause a light emitted from the LED engine to be narrower than 14 degrees and with a relative Cd/lm greater than 10 and with a measured application color uniformity of less than 0.005 Du1v1.

Abstract: An optical element for a light fixture is adapted to receive light from a light source and to direct the light toward a light-emitting surface along an axis of the optical element. The optical element includes an inner surface disposed axially around and at least partially enclosing the axis of the optical element, the inner surface at least partially containing the light within the optical element by internal reflection of the light, the inner surface being defined by at least two geometric shapes coaxially disposed with respect to the axis of the optical element.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a grout injection device (10) and a method for injecting grout into a longitudinal hole, e.g. a borehole. The grout injection device (10) comprises a hose (11) having at least three separate lines (12,13,14) defined in the interior of said hose (11); a packer system (16) arranged at one end (15) of said hose (11), said packer system comprising a chamber (17), said chamber (17) being provided with an inlet opening (18) into which said at least three lines (12,13,24) of said hose (11) lead and one or more discharge openings (22,23,24) for releasing fluid from said chamber (17) into the surrounding of the packer system; and a pump system (30) arranged at the opposite end (28) of said hose (11), configured to inject fluids into said at least three lines (12,13,14) of said hose (11).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a crystalline molecular complex comprising: (a) the herbicide pinoxaden, and (b) a second herbicide selected from the group consisting of fluroxypyr, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid. The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of the crystalline molecular complex, a herbicidal composition comprising the crystalline molecular complex, and use of the herbicidal composition.

Abstract: A method for operating a ship propulsion system, in particular a sailing ship propulsion system, comprising an internal combustion engine (303), at least one shifting clutch (319), and a drive device (309) for transmitting drive power to at least one propeller (308). The direction of thrust of the propeller (308) is changed via the drive device (309) which is designed as a ship propulsion system which can be pivoted about a substantially vertical control axis (320) by pivoting a thrust unit (321) associated with the drive device (309). For this purpose, the pivotable thrust unit (321) is pivoted approximately 180° in the opposite direction to reverse the direction of thrust of the propeller (108).

Abstract: A light weight and collapsible platform and platform support structure usable as the deck and central structure of a folding boat and of a levelable, raised platform tent camper. This collapsible platform support structure is a unique arrangmeent of compression carrying arms radiating out from a central hub and jacking device, with an arrangement of tension carrying cables linking and supporting the radial arms into a rigid geometry. By concept and design the structure maximizes horizontal platform area for a minimum of weight and structure. Light weight allows transportability and collaspsibility allows stowability. The structure is opened from a collapsed state to a rigid erected state by operation of the jack, which moves the cable hub away from the arm hub. This action rotates the arms downward, loading the arms in compression and the cables and platform in tension, eventually locking the the structure into it's rigid erected geometry.

Abstract: A rotatable wheel is mounted under a sailboat or other boat and shaped in a manner such that it will be efficient in developing a hydrodynamic lifting force to function as the boat's primary keel to resist leeway and provide directional stability. The wheel or wheels can also be used to ramp launch or haul the boat and to roll the boat about on land. In order to reduce hydrodynamic drag, a tire fitted onto the wheel forms a continuous and fair surface with the wheel wall.
