Patent number: 10757307Abstract: A lighting device includes a light source, an image sensor, a controller, a memory, and a wireless transceiver. The light source is configured to emit light for general illumination. The image sensor is configured to acquire an image of an area illuminated by the light source. The controller is coupled to control the image sensor and to receive the acquired image of the illuminated area from the image sensor. The controller is configured to operate the wireless transceiver to receive identification information from a wireless device in the illuminated area. The controller is further configured to automatically generate a visual signature based on image information of a person or object, obtained from the image of the illuminated area. The controller also is configured to store the visual signature of the person or object in the memory in association with the wireless device identification information.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: ABL IP HOLDING LLCInventors: Daniel M. Megginson, Sean P. White, Jenish S. Kastee, Januk S. Aggarwal, David P. Ramer

Patent number: 9803813Abstract: A lighting unit includes an architectural panel having an overall thickness that is measured between a first surface that is configured to be exposed to light output by the lighting unit and a second surface that is opposite the first surface, and a light fixture embedded in the architectural panel. The light fixture includes a solid state light source, an optic, a power supply and a driver circuit that at least partially embedded in the recess of the panel. The light fixture is configured to output light in an output direction extending out away from the first surface of the panel. The light fixture extends from the first surface of the panel in a direction opposite the output direction by a distance that is less than the overall thickness of the architectural panel.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: ABL IP HOLDING LLCInventors: Forrest S. McCanless, Januk S. Aggarwal, Jack C. Rains, Jr., David P. Ramer

Publication number: 20080135411Abstract: Surface 12's hydrophobic region 26 is surrounded by hydrophilic region 28. Hydrophobic region 26 is coated with first electrical insulator fluid 10 (e.g. oil). Surface 12 and first fluid 10 are submerged in second fluid 14 (e.g. water) having a high dielectric constant value relative to the first fluid's dielectric constant value and/or having non-zero electrical conductivity. An electric field is selectably applied between second fluid 14 and spaced-apart sections of hydrophobic region 26 to form compact volume portions 10A, 10B of first fluid 10 between the spaced-apart sections. Elongated volume portions of first fluid 10 remain on the spaced-apart sections of hydrophobic region 26, fluidicly interconnecting compact volume portions 10A, 10B. If the electric field is sequentially applied to different sections of hydrophobic region 26 during successive time intervals the compact and elongated volume portions of first fluid 10 are redistributed moved to different sections of hydrophobic region 26.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2005Publication date: June 12, 2008Inventors: Lorne A. Whitehead, Januk S. Aggarwal
