  • Patent number: 12215855
    Abstract: An LED growth light and method for providing light to plants incorporating a reflector housing, LED driver, and dimmable rows of LED chips on the LED growth light. The reflector housings couple to a wiring compartment that includes wiring coupled to each row of LED chips on each reflector housing. The LED driver is coupled to an exterior groove in between two adjacent reflector housings.

  • Publication number: 20250026116
    Abstract: A system and method for building and assembling parts of or entire modular structures such as dwelling units, marine structures or watercraft from recycled PET material panels. Each assembly is made from panels of recycled PET material having a core and a rigid skin on both faces of the panel. The panels are joined together with splines of the same type of panel material. The splines may be glued and or fastened in place. The panels provide the necessary rigidity and insulative qualities for construction and watercraft manufacture and may be painted. The panels are impervious to environmental elements as well as to insects.

  • Patent number: 7728692
    Abstract: In order to reduce noise on twisted metallic pair signal conductors, circuits are disclosed in which the signal balance between the wires of the pair is significantly improved, thereby reducing the line's susceptibility to external electromagnetic interference and equally reducing its ability to radiate signals into the surrounding medium. Further, the common mode impedance of the wire pair as seen at or close to the junction with the terminating equipment is controlled in order to reduce the ability of signals external to the wire pair to couple into the wire. This reduces noise in the line, as perceived by connected equipment, leading to an increase in the data carrying capacity of the line and the usable length of the line carrying such data.

  • Publication number: 20080056484
    Abstract: In order to reduce noise in telecommunications made over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of metallic conductors an active electronic circuit for a two-to-four wire hybrid circuit reduces common mode signals without recourse to inductive components. The hybrid has a balance network that dynamically alters its impedance to closely balance with the two wire line impedance. Residual common mode signals are cancelled. Resistors are connected to the wires and the circuit generates a high impedance to differential mode signals and a virtual ground to common mode signals.

  • Patent number: 7286096
    Abstract: Integrating dual antennae into a single rigid assembly guarantees parallel alignment between the antennae and provides higher isolation with lower insertion loss than duplexing methods can achieve through a single antenna. The resulting higher performance at lower cost can benefit two-way communication systems using time division duplexing, frequency division duplexing, or polarization division duplexing; or combinations of these methods.
