Abstract: The invention describes systems and methods of assessing risk using a computer. A computer-based system including an enrollment module, a data aggregation module, a risk assessment module, and a memory is provided for assessing risks. The enrollment receives, at a computer, personal information regarding at least one entity. The data aggregation module receives, at the computer, risk information regarding the entity according to the personal information from at least one data source. The risk assessment module converts the risk information to assessment information. The memory stores the personal information, the risk information, and/or the assessment information on the computer.

Abstract: A modular troffer-style lighting fixture. The fixture is particularly well-suited for use with solid state light sources, such as LEDs. Embodiments comprise a pan structure designed to house one or more modular light engine units within a central opening. Each light engine unit includes a reflective cup that can house several light sources on an interior mount surface. The cup is positioned proximate to a back reflector such that its open end faces a portion of the back reflector. The back reflector is shaped to define an interior chamber where light can be mixed and redirected. At least one elongated leg extends away from the reflective cup toward an edge of said back reflector. The leg(s) are used to mount the reflective cup relative to the back reflector and may also be used as a heat sink and/or an additional mount surface for light sources.

Abstract: Method and system to configure a common set of electronic components using software in order to simulate different electronic, mechanical and/or electro-mechanical instruments or instrument functions. For each instrument function or traditional mode of operation to be simulated, software models are created which when directed to the electronic components, cause the electronic components to respond to input in the same manner that the actual, traditional physical instrument would respond to satisfy the same test requirement input. The software models are preferably stored in a model repository which is searchable to enable a user to select the instrument function or traditional mode of operation to be simulated with the corresponding model being provided to the electronic components. Once the model, i.e., a function for each synthetic element, is downloaded and the electronic components configured according to the model functions, testing of the assemblies or other UUTs can begin.

Abstract: Fixtures, apparatuses, and related methods are provided that provide for a non-Edison connection for receiving a lamp housing of a lighting device having a non-Edison connector. The fixture can include a fixture housing and a non-Edison socket securable to the fixture housing. The fixture can also include an engagement device for engaging a lamp housing of a lighting device that has a non-Edison connector upon insertion of the lamp housing into the fixture housing and engaging the non-Edison socket.

Abstract: A light fixture with coextruded components is disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention provide a solid-state light fixture suitable for use in commercial environments. A light fixture according to example embodiments of the invention includes an LED light source and a coextruded optical assembly. In some embodiments, the reflector portion of the assembly includes a thin skin of reflective material. In some embodiments, the assembly includes an interlocking mechanical interface between the reflector and lens portions of the assembly. In some embodiments, the lens portion of the assembly includes two lens plates. In some embodiments, a longer fixture can be assembled by using two, coextruded portions of an optical assembly, where these portions are adapted to be joined end-to-end. Reinforcing members can be used in the reflector and lens assembly.

Abstract: A modular troffer-style fixture particularly well-suited for use with solid state light sources. The fixture comprises a reflector that includes parallel rails running along its length, providing a mount mechanism and structural support. An exposed heat sink is disposed proximate to the reflector. The portion of the heat sink facing the reflector functions as a mount surface for the light sources. The heat sink is hollow through the center in the longitudinal direction. The hollow portion defines a conduit through which electrical conductors can be run to power light emitters. One or more light sources disposed along the heat sink mount surface emit light toward the reflector where it can be mixed and/or shaped before it is emitted from the troffer as useful light. End caps are arranged at both ends of the reflector and heat sink, allowing for the easy connection of multiple units in a serial arrangement.

Abstract: A direct and back view LED lighting system is disclosed. Embodiments of a lighting system and example light fixture are described. LED devices provide the light source. The LED devices can be positioned with a heatsink at or near the top of the system proximate to a back reflector. In example embodiments, the LED devices emit light downward. The system can be used in a troffer style fixture with a support structure and a pan. The system or fixture can have a lens arrangement including lenses, lens plates or sections with differing optical characteristics, including a partially reflective lens plate or section that passes and diffuses some light from the LED light source, but reflects some light back to the back reflector. Additional lenses or lens plates serve as diffusers.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for adapting unfinished lighting fixture rough-ins to receive a lighting module, such as an incandescent light bulb or a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting device, are disclosed. According to one aspect, a universal adapter is provided that can be inserted into an existing lighting fixture rough-in, secured in place, and electrically connected to the lighting fixture rough-in. In this way, the adapter stands in place of the finishing section typically used in current lighting fixture designs. As a result, the adapter can modify an unfinished lighting fixture so that it can be used with a variety of lighting elements beyond those designed to be used with the specific configuration of the lighting fixture rough-in.

The fixture can also include an engagement device for engaging a lamp housing of a lighting device that has a non-Edison connector upon insertion of the lamp housing into the fixture housing and engaging the non-Edison socket.

Abstract: Board assemblies, light emitting device assemblies and related methods are provided. An assembly can include a board comprising a face surface, a rear surface opposite the face surface and side edges around a periphery of the board. The assembly can also include a heat sink for dissipating heat from the board. The assembly can also include a retainer configured to secure the board to the heat sink. One or more light-emitting diode packages can be secured to the board for creating a light-emitting device assembly.

Abstract: More effective compiler optimizations provide improved cache utilization. The compiler optimizations include a structure layout optimization that leaves the physical layout of the structure fields intact and instead changes the access order to these fields. The compiler optimizations apply to arrays using array remappings analogous to structure layout optimizations in which the array is considered as a structure and the physical layout of the array remains intact and instead the access order to the array changes.

Abstract: A light emitting diode package mounting apparatus comprises a heatsink defining a surface comprising one of a male or female connector. An LED package has a base where a portion of the base defines the other of the female or male connector. The connectors engage one another such that a force is exerted on the base that presses the LED package against the surface. To assemble the LED package in the heat sink, the LED package is located on the surface. The LED package and heatsink are moved relative to one another such that the male connector is inserted into the female connector.
