  • Publication number: 20170234525
    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: 9734158
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to file system placeholders. In aspects, placeholders may be used by a client to represent remote file system objects. The placeholders may include metadata, searchable text, and may also include none, some, or all of the content of the represented remote file system objects. Search data from the placeholders is integrated into a local search database of the client such that the client is able to satisfy queries and identify relevant local and remote file system objects even when the client is offline with respect to remote storage.

  • Patent number: 9721223
    Abstract: A system associates different data types with a specific product using a unique identification tag that can be used in a product identification process. The system associates a unique identifier with a unique record related to an individual product, generates a unique identifier associated with an individual product, attaches a machine readable unique identification tag to the individual product, the unique identification tag being associated with the unique identifier and containing information associated with the individual product, associates the unique identifier with a unique record, stores the association and the unique record, receives a signal comprising the unique identifier and having been generated remotely by a device reading the unique identification tag, and generates, responsive to the signal, a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20170123390
    Abstract: A load control system may include control devices for controlling power provided to an electrical load. The 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. The control devices may include a load control discovery device capable of sending discovery messages configured to discover control devices within a location. The discovered control devices may be organized by signal strength and may be provided to a network device to enable association of the discovered control devices within a location. The discovery messages may be transmitted within an established discovery range. The discovery range may be adjusted to discover different control devices. Different control devices may be identified as the load control discovery device for discovering different control devices.

  • Publication number: 20170041886
    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: 20160299657
    Abstract: The embodiments herein describe methods for displaying and navigating across content items in a content item list on a portable electronic device. For example, the embodiments herein describe a method for displaying a content item list adjacent to a content item view. The content list view includes a representation of the first content item and representations of previous and next content items. While the content list view is displayed, a movement of the touch input along the content list is detected, responsive to detection, the content item list is scrolled and a second content item is selected. The selected content item is displayed in the content item view adjacent to the content list view. An indication that the representation of a second content item in the content list view is currently selected is displayed.

  • Patent number: 9463615
    Abstract: A method of producing a high quality image on a blanket, including providing an image, a first piece of material having a substantially zero-nap upper surface configured to receive the image thereon, and a lower coupling surface. The method may include providing a second piece of material different than the first piece of material, the second piece of material having an upper coupling surface including a non-zero nap and a lower surface of a soft material. The method may include coupling the lower coupling surface of the first piece of material to the upper coupling surface of the second piece of material to form a single unit, while leaving the soft material of the second piece of material substantially exposed to an outside ambient environment, and incorporating the image within the substantially zero-nap upper surface of the first piece of material using a printing process.
