Abstract: A luminaire includes an elongated body, a plurality of light sources arranged between opposing ends of the body, mounting plates provided at the opposing ends, and an electrical outlet configured to receive power. The mounting plates include a threaded portion configured to receive a threaded connector for supporting the luminaire from a mounting surface. A lighting modifier might be provided to alter the lighting output.

Abstract: A luminaire and lighting system for multi-directional lighting controls for customizing lighting effects in multiple directions surrounding the luminaire are provided. The system includes the luminaire and an external power supply unit that can be plugged into the luminaire. The luminaire has multiple individually controllable lighting zones disposed radially around an elongate body. The luminaire utilizes a single power supply circuit for all lighting zones and a communications protocol for controlling dimming and other lighting effects for each separate lighting zone.

Abstract: A luminaire and lighting system for multi-directional lighting for use in photographic, theatrical, and cinematic settings are provided. The luminaire has mounting plates at opposing ends of an elongate body. The luminaire may be mounted onto a stand or other mounting structure at either end of the luminaire to provide different mounting configurations to produce different lighting effects. The luminaire may be used with a lighting modifier to alter the lighting effects.

Abstract: Data comprising a request specifying a desired change in electrical load for a defined period of time is received. The electrical load is associated with a plurality of resources under control of resource agents and on a utility grid. Available capacity of resources within the control of each resource agent over the defined period of time is determined. Each available capacity is determined at least using a resource load model. Using the determined available capacity of resources over the defined period of time, resource scheduling instructions are calculated for a subset of resources. The resource scheduling instructions satisfy the desired change in electrical load of the request. Data characterizing the resource scheduling instructions is provided. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and articles are also described.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein relates to the organized measurement, dispatch and/or control of disparate and distributed resources along the length of and at the ends of the electrical grid. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Systems are described that provide monitoring for control, measurement and verification of demand side management resources. Control units deployed among customer or utility premises can monitor capacity as real or reactive power that is consumed, generated or stored by resources and, in some cases, selectively alter the load consumed or energy delivered by some or all of such resources derived from load capacity and dispatch models. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for retrofitting fire hydrants with additional structure for reducing the potential that those with ill intent can foul municipal water supplies by introducing toxins or other materials into fire hydrants. Various embodiments include a seat and elongated member for efficient and cost effective installation and cooperation with valves, which close off portions of the hydrant otherwise available for receipt of toxic or other materials when the fire hydrant nozzle cap is unscrewed and open.
