  • Publication number: 20250195912
    Abstract: A light therapy device stand includes a base, a telescoping extension arm, a receptacle connected to the extension arm, an elongated support bar, a plurality of sliding connectors, a plurality of connection rails, and a plurality of extension rails. Individual light therapy devices can be secured onto the support bar via the sliding connectors. Standard sized light therapy devices can be secured onto the support bar in a stacked configuration via the connection rails, and non-standard sized light therapy devices can be secured onto the support bar in a stacked configuration via the extension rails. The support bar rotates 90 degrees relative to the extension arm to transition each connected light therapy device between a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation.

  • Publication number: 20250195909
    Abstract: A method of providing light therapy includes providing a light therapy device having a main body with an array of optical emitters, a display panel and a system controller. The array of optical emitters includes a plurality of sub arrays each having a plurality of individual optical emitters that are either a single-color LED, a multi-color LED, or near infrared LED, and each can operate at one of a fixed or user-defined wavelength. The display panel includes a touchscreen device that sends and receives information with a device user and provides a presentation screen showing a virtual representation of the output of the device. A remote control includes a display screen for remotely viewing and controlling the operation of the device. Light therapy from the device is provided across a plurality of target wavelengths via one or more default or user-defined sub arrays.

  • Publication number: 20250195913
    Abstract: A light therapy device stand includes a table mount having a clamp and a pair of inverted brackets for selectively engaging a table. A vertical extension arm extends upward from the table mount, and a horizontal extension arm rotates 360 degrees along a horizontal plane. An adjustable arm assembly extends from the distal end of the horizontal extension arm and pivots between a fully raised and fully lowered position. A panel attachment assembly is secured along the distal end of the adjustable arm assembly and is connected to a light therapy device. The adjustable arm assembly maintains the mounting assembly in a horizontal orientation regardless of the position of the parallel arms, and the mounting assembly moves the light therapy device in a plurality of different horizontal and vertical orientations.

  • Publication number: 20250195911
    Abstract: A light therapy device stand includes a base, a motorized extension arm, a receptacle connected to the extension arm and an elongated support bar onto which one or more light therapy devices are connected. A system controller communicates wirelessly with a system remote control and a mobile application which operate the motor of the stand and each light therapy device connected to the stand. The light therapy devices are connected in one or both of a side to side configuration and a top to bottom configuration along the length of the elongated support bar, and the support bar rotates 90 degrees relative to the extension arm to transition each of the plurality of light therapy devices between a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation.

  • Patent number: 12085818
    Abstract: This disclosure provides connectors for smart windows. A smart window may incorporate an optically switchable pane. In one aspect, a window unit includes an insulated glass unit including an optically switchable pane. A wire assembly may be attached to the edge of the insulated glass unit and may include wires in electrical communication with electrodes of the optically switchable pane. A floating connector may be attached to a distal end of the wire assembly. The floating connector may include a flange and a nose, with two holes in the flange for affixing the floating connector to a first frame. The nose may include a terminal face that present two exposed contacts of opposite polarity. Pre-wired spacers improve fabrication efficiency and seal integrity of insulated glass units. Electrical connection systems include those embedded in the secondary seal of the insulated glass unit.

  • Publication number: 20240139538
    Abstract: A light therapy system includes a remote-control device and at least one light therapy device. The light therapy devices operate in a standalone mode using the onboard interface device and a cumulative mode where operating instructions are received from the remote-control device. The operating instructions are distinct and individual for each light therapy device, to permit identical or different operation between devices. The light therapy devices do not communicate directly with each other and are operated wirelessly by the remote-control device such that a failure in one light therapy device does not affect the operation of another light therapy device. A hanging assembly suspends a device in a level orientation, and a connection panel secures two devices together such that the light emissions from both devices are oriented parallel to each other and do not overlap.
