  • Publication number: 20240092540
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tote lid hinges are provided. In some embodiments, a tote includes: an interior of the tote; a lid to cover the interior of the tote; and a hinge mechanism configured to be opened in more than one direction. Different applications and use cases of a tote require differences in the opening direction of the tote lid. A flexible hinge mechanism allows the lid to be opened/closed for these various applications using the same hinge & lid design, rather than changing the lid type by application.

  • Publication number: 20170009957
    Abstract: A linear LED lighting system, assembly and/or fixture distributes luminance efficiently in certain applications, such as for ceiling lighting used in certain retail environments. According to example embodiments of the invention, a linear LED lighting system includes at least two tilted, parabolic reflecting surfaces and a linear array of LED devices, wherein at least some of the LED devices are substantially disposed at a focus line of at least one of the tilted, parabolic reflecting surfaces. A diffuser or diffusive lens can be disposed adjacent to the parabolic reflecting surfaces where light exits the system to provide color mixing and/or eliminate potential hot spots. The tilt of the reflecting surfaces can be changed to adjust the illumination pattern. A lighting system according to example embodiments of the invention can be designed for retrofit installation or as a complete fixture.

  • Patent number: 7499261
    Abstract: A load control device is adapted to be installed in an electrical wallbox having a barrier. The load control device comprises a split enclosure having first and second enclosure portions spaced apart so as to define a gap, such that the gap is adapted to receive the barrier of the electrical wallbox when the load control device is installed in the wallbox. First and second connectors are provided in first and second openings of the first and second enclosure portions, respectively. The load control device is operable to receive a first control signal at the first connector and to generate a second control signal, which is provided at the second connector, in response to the first control signal.

  • Patent number: 7375951
    Abstract: A load control device is operable to receive a first control signal having a first magnitude and to generate a second control signal having a second magnitude. The load control device is adapted to be installed in an electrical wallbox having a barrier. The load control device comprises a split enclosure having first and second enclosure portions and a gap between the two portions. A first connector is provided in an opening of the first portion for receipt of the first control signal and a second connector is provided in an opening of the second portion for providing the second control signal. The gap of the split enclosure receives the barrier when the load control device is installed in the electrical wallbox, such that the first control signal is electrically isolated from the second control signal. Accordingly, the load control device meets the requirements of the National Electrical Code when installed in the electrical wallbox.
