  • Patent number: 11927321
    Abstract: The present disclosure sets forth a motion sensing outdoor security light with the flexibility of being mounted to either a wall structure or to an eave or ceiling structure. An adjustable spherical motion sensor housing may be provided with the rotationally adjustable outdoor security light, allowing easy adjustment of motion detection ranges under different mounting schemes without comprising the aesthetic design of the light. The adjustable spherical motion sensor housing may also provide an enlarged horizontal field of view for better performance. Sensitivity of a motion sensor may be adjusted via a control circuit based on adjustment of the spherical motion sensor housing.

  • Publication number: 20230277912
    Abstract: A sports board incorporating reclaimed/reused sports board materials, and a method of making a such a sports board, allows for incorporation of portions of used (recycled) composite sports boards (or waste from the manufacture thereof) into new sports boards. This lessens the accumulation of composite sports board waste in the global environment, reduces the quantity of new virgin materials needed in the manufacture of new composite sports boards, and lessens the environmental impact of composite sports board manufacture and use. Optionally, the reclaimed sports board material may be incorporated into a new sports board in a manner providing structural enhancements (e.g., increased regional stiffness) to new sports boards. This may allow for structural enhancement while avoiding a significant increase in sports board weight, by incorporating used composite materials into new composite sports boards.

  • Patent number: 11698172
    Abstract: A security light having optional connection to multiple power supplies. The lighting controller can sense the appropriate connected supply and automatically connect to three different power supplies which include house voltage connection through a typical junction box, a remote solar charging station, and on-board batteries that can be used as a third backup power supply. Additional implementations include power outage detection and backup illumination along with low voltage power supply from a mounting structure.

  • Patent number: 11477215
    Abstract: Concepts for scaling a processing resource of a security information and event management system for processing a set of security events are presented. One example comprises identifying an event property of a set of security events, then assessing the identified event property against a predetermined rule. The method then comprises, in response to the assessed event property satisfying the predetermined rule, scaling a processing resource for processing the set of security events based on the predetermined rule.

  • Publication number: 20220314101
    Abstract: Snowboards are constructed by initial manufacture of a base sub-assembly including fewer than all layers of the snowboard, e.g., a base layer, edges, and a stabilizing layer. These layers are permanently bonded together into a unitary base sub-assembly. The running (bottom) surface is then finished to provide a desired surface consistency by eliminating undesired irregularities from the manufacturing process, e.g., using a conventional base grinding machine. Subsequently, the base sub-assembly and remaining snowboard layers (e.g., top sheet and a core sandwiched between reinforcing layers) are permanently bonded together into a unitary final snowboard assembly, which may then be worked to form a finished snowboard. Snowboards may be either flat or non-flat in both the longitudinal and transverse directions.
