Patent number: 10810849Abstract: Examples of systems and method track a location of an asset within a space using an asset tag location estimation system, track movement of a selected user, or user's mobile device, using a positioning system, and associate the tracked asset with the selected user, or user's mobile device, based on a determination of a trajectory of the asset and the mobile device. Trajectories of the user/mobile device and the asset tag may be determined by a backend server. The trajectory of the selected user/mobile device and the trajectory of the asset tag are compared by the backend server to determine a correspondence between the respective trajectories based on a predetermined correspondence criteria. The determined correspondence indicates that a user of the corresponding mobile device is moving the asset. In response to the determined correspondence, the backend server associates the asset tag to the selected user/mobile device in a database.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: ABL IP HOLDING LLCInventors: Min-Hao Michael Lu, John England

Publication number: 20190181545Abstract: The examples of luminaires include radio frequency (RF) circuitry, an antenna, a light source and a housing. The radio frequency circuitry is configured to emit or receive RF signals. The antenna is coupled to the RF circuitry and located at a back wall of the housing opposite a housing output aperture. The light source may be located at a housing perimeter closer in proximity to the output aperture. The light source may be configured to emit light for general illumination of a space. The housing encloses an RF radiation transparent volume substantially free of RF radiation interfering materials. The volume may extend from the antenna to the housing output aperture. Examples also include an RF transparent reflector to reflect light emitted by the light sources. Light and RF radiation may pass through the RF transparent volume and the housing output aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2017Publication date: June 13, 2019Inventors: Min-Hao Michael LU, John ENGLAND

Publication number: 20190010033Abstract: A lifting apparatus having at least one column. The column includes a drive that rotates a screw, the drive having a first width in a first area, and a nut housing having a support connected to a nut, the nut threaded around the screw such that rotation of the screw moves the nut and support along a first axis. The support including two parallel walls spaced apart a distance larger than the first width such that when the support is positioned at a bottom end of the screw, the two parallel walls fit over the first area. A minimum height of the support is measured from a base of the column to a lowest point of the support. The minimum height is between zero and a width between the two parallel walls.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2018Publication date: January 10, 2019Inventors: John England, Peter Gerard McGonagle, Ryan W.

Patent number: 10009978Abstract: A lighting device or system is configured to control of one or more parameters of light output, such as ON/OFF status, intensity when ON, color characteristics and position or orientation of light output (e.g. via a motorized luminaire control). The device or system may have other output capability, e.g. display projection or audio. Sensors or other input devices are responsive to the user. Responsive to user input, sensed activity, and/or acquired information, the device or system, controls a light source in accordance with a lighting control function. Operation of the light source and the lighting control function may be modified based on learning by the device or system.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2017Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: ABL IP HOLDING LLCInventors: Darren Blum, Januk Aggarwal, Aaron Engel-Hall, John England, Min-Hao Michael Lu
