Abstract: This application relates to a client-server architecture that enables user accounts registered with a service to be discoverable to other users of the service. A discovery protocol includes accessing personal information data stored in an address book of a client device, obfuscating the personal information data, transmitting a request to a service to determine if the obfuscated personal information data matches any potential contacts that have registered as discoverable with the service, and comparing information related to the potential contacts with the contacts included in the address book to determine if the contacts in the address book match any of the potential contacts.

Abstract: A technique that can be implemented by the digital asset repository, and includes the steps of (1) receiving, from a first application executing on the first computing device, a request to access information associated with a second application managed by the digital asset repository, wherein the request: (i) is transmitted in response to a selection of a user interface that is displayed by the first application and that relates to the second application, and (ii) includes a set of parameters that is provided by a remote server and that specifies at least one utilization requirement pertaining to the second application; (2) receiving, from the second application, an indication that activity associated with the second application has been performed; (3) determining, based on the indication, that the at least one utilization requirement is satisfied; and (4) providing the set of parameters to a metrics manager executing on a second computing device.

Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for managing advertisement attributions. A first technique can be implemented by an “app store” application, and include the steps of (1) receiving, from a first user application, a request to view a second user application, where the request includes a set of digitally-signed parameters that are specific to an advertising campaign (provided by an advertisement network) for the second user application that is presented by the first user application. In turn, and in response to identifying that the second user application satisfies at least one criterion, the app store application provides the set of digitally-signed parameters to an advertisement metrics manager that: (i) verifies the set of digitally-signed parameters, and (ii) indicates, to the advertisement network, that business logic should be carried out in association with the first user application and the second user application. A second technique for managing advertisement attributions is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present application discloses systems and methods for providing low voltage power for low voltage lighting sources, e.g., so-called landscape lighting. A low voltage lighting power supply includes an enclosure and a power circuit enclosed in the enclosure. In some embodiments the power circuit has a primary side and a secondary side. The primary side accepts power from a main power source and the secondary side has a plurality of separate output power circuits, each output power circuit generating a separate low voltage lighting power signal capable of lighting a plurality of low voltage light sources and each being rated for a particular output.

Abstract: Systems and methods for of dimming generally considered to be non-dimmable with conventional dimmers. An exemplary dimming module accepts a power source for a light source and a dimming signal. The dimming module modifies the power signal and generates a modified power signal capable of dimming LED light sources (and other light sources) that are generally considered to be non-dimmable with conventional dimmers. The dimming signal can be a wireless signal. Exemplary embodiments include a computer application executing on a computer or handheld computer that can be used to remotely dim, via the dimming module, one or more LED light sources (and other light sources) that are generally considered to be non-dimmable with conventional dimmers.

Abstract: A method of dimming an LED luminaire and a dimmable LED luminaire includes two pluralities of LEDs. The first plurality emits electromagnetic radiation at a first frequency to react with a remote phosphor and provide a phosphor illumination. The second plurality of LEDs are phosphor LEDs that emit phosphor electromagnetic radiation at a second frequency to react with the remote phosphor and provide double-phosphor illumination. The phosphors and LEDs are configured to produce specific color points when the LEDs are at full power and at full dim. When the luminaire receives a dimming signal, the first plurality of LEDs dim the phosphor illumination over a majority of the luminaire's illumination range, but the second plurality of LEDs continue to receive constant current and provide undimmed double-phosphor illumination over the majority of the luminaire's illumination range.
