The control subassembly includes a diagnostics module for monitoring preselected parameters relating to the light subassembly, and a communications module for generating signals relating to the preselected parameters, and for transmitting the signals to one or more preselected recipients thereof. The system includes a display and a dashboard module for displaying data relating to the light subassemblies and the signals relating to the preselected parameters on the display. The system also includes sensors for monitoring air quality, and the air quality information is shown on the display. Suitable alarm signals are generated if the preselected parameters or if the air quality parameters are not within respective preselected acceptable ranges thereof.

Abstract: A ceiling system, a method of forming a ceiling system, and a cover for use therein. The cover may include an elongated cover body. The elongated cover body may have a floor portion and first and second sidewall portions extending upward from the floor portion. The cover may have a cover slot in a top surface of the elongated cover body that extends downward into the elongated cover body between the first and second sidewall portions. The cover slot may have a narrowed section and a widened section below the narrowed section. A plurality of transverse cover notches may be arranged in a spaced apart manner along the elongated cover body. Each of the plurality of transverse cover notches may be formed in a bottom portion of the elongated cover body and may intersect the widened section and at least a portion of the narrowed section of the cover slot.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for assessing anatomical surface features are described herein. In some embodiments, a method of assessing a surface feature on a patient's skin surface includes (i) capturing one or more data sets from a patient's skin surface including the skin surface feature, and (ii) determining outline data of the skin surface feature based on at least one of the one or more data sets. The method can further include determining one or more confidence attributes associated with the determined outline data.

Abstract: A ceiling system which includes support beams, elongated covers that at least partially cove the support beams, and baffles which attach to the support beams. The support beams may have a vertical web portion, a flange portion at a top end of the vertical web portion, and bulb portion at a bottom end of the vertical web portion. The elongated may have a cover body and a cover slot in a top surface of the cover body.
