  • Patent number: 10247400
    Abstract: An emergency, camping, flood, home, work and law enforcement light has a large LED floodlight mounted by a two-dimensional hinge to a large battery/vehicular battery case, so when the case is on the ground, the light may be directed at any angle in both bearing and azimuth. The case further may have a light strip composed of numerous small LEDs capable of various modes of blinking operation in various colors, so as to mimic, in the dark, the appearance of emergency vehicles, for example with blinking orange lights, blinking red and blue lights and so on. The vehicle battery may provide power to a 12V/30V outlet of the case, or may be charged by the same socket.

  • Patent number: 10185937
    Abstract: A generic transaction generator framework for testing a network-based production service may work in conjunction with a product-specific transaction creator module that executes transactions on the service. The transaction creator module may include runtime-discoverable information, such as source code annotations, to communicate product specific details to the framework. Runtime-discoverable information may identify transaction types, transaction methods, as well as dependencies between different transaction types and transaction methods. The framework may generate and execute various test transactions and may call a substituted transaction method for a transaction type on which a generated transaction depends prior to calling the generated transaction. The output from the substituted transaction may be used as input to the generated transaction when executed subsequently.

  • Publication number: 20180301909
    Abstract: A load control system may include load control devices for controlling power provided to an electrical load. The load control devices may include a control-source device and a control-target device. The control-target device may control the power provided to the electrical load based on digital messages received from the control-source device. A user device may discover load control devices when the load control devices are within an established range associated with the user device. The user device and the load control devices may communicate via a wireless communications module. The established range may be adjusted based on the configurable transmit power of the user device or the wireless communications module associated with the user device. A discovered control-target device may be associated with a control-source device to enable the control-target device to control the power provided to the electrical load based on digital messages received from the control-source device.

  • Patent number: 10098074
    Abstract: A load control system may include control devices capable of being associated with each other at one or more locations for performing load control. Control devices may include control-source devices and/or control-target devices. A location beacon may be discovered and a unique identifier in the location beacon may be associated with a unique identifier of one or more control devices. Upon subsequent discovery of the location beacon, the associated load control devices may be controlled. The beacons may be communicated via radio frequency signals, visible light communication, and/or audio signals. The visible light communication may be used to communicate other types of information to devices in the load control system. The visible light communication may be used to identify link addresses for communicating with load control devices, load control instructions, load control configuration instructions, network communication information, and/or the like.

  • Publication number: 20180285171
    Abstract: A container for one or more scheduled meeting is pre-built for the meeting prior to the meeting occurring. The container can be built in a variety of manners, including using both static and dynamic techniques. Dynamic techniques for building a container allows a pre-build system to include more pertinent data in the container whereas static techniques reduce computing workload and allow for pre-building containers for unscheduled meetings. A combination of static and dynamic building techniques can be applied using a layer repository. Alternately, a static base layer can be used and customized for scheduled meetings.
