  • Publication number: 20210356088
    Abstract: An overhead light fixture includes a driver assembly and a light-emitting assembly. The driver assembly includes a driver and a housing. The light-emitting assembly is operably connected to the driver and configured for downward emission of light from a light source of the light-emitting assembly. The light-emitting assembly is detachably secured to the driver assembly. The light fixture is configured to be mounted to a canopy sheet of an overhead canopy, with the driver assembly disposed above the canopy sheet and the light-emitting assembly disposed below the canopy sheet. The driver assembly is optionally configured so that, when the light-emitting assembly is detached from the driver assembly, the driver is removable downwardly through the base portion. A bezel is optionally disposed around a lens of the light-emitting assembly, for aesthetic reasons and/or for controlling a degree of lateral emission of light from the light fixture.

  • Patent number: 10504513
    Abstract: A dock device connects participating devices such as a tablet device and an audio activated device, allowing them to operate as a single device. These participating devices may be associated with different accounts, each account being associated with particular “speechlets” or data processing functions. A natural language understanding (NLU) system uses NLU models to process text obtained from an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system to determine a set of possible intents. A second set of possible intents may then be generated that is limited to those possible intents that correspond to the speechlets associated with the docked device. The intents within the second set of possible intents are ranked, and the highest ranked intent may be deemed to be the intent of the user. Command data corresponding to the highest ranked intent may be generated and used to perform the action associated with that intent.
