Patent number: 11846624Abstract: In an embodiment, an integrated sensor system with modular sensors and wireless connectivity components for monitoring properties of field soil is described. In an embodiment, an integrated sensor system comprises one or more sensors that are configured to determine one or more measures of at least one property of soil. The integrated sensor system also includes one or more processing units that are configured to receive, from the sensors, the measures of at least one property of soil and calculate soil property data based on the measures. The system further includes a transmitter that is configured to receive the soil property data from the processing units, establish a communications connection with at least one computer device, and automatically transmit the soil property data to the at least one computer device via the communications connection. In an embodiment, the communications connection is a wireless connection established between the transmitter and a smart hub or a LoRA-enabled device.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: CLIMATE LLCInventors: Justin Koch, Michael H. Malone, Phil David Baurer, Nalini Gupta, Calden Nathaniel Carroll Stimpson, Andreas Markus Wenzel, Jordan Kusiek, Michael Gall, Jeffrey Lawrence Kohne, Eric L. Borrowman

Patent number: 9799243Abstract: Combinations of solid state light emitters, optionally arranged to stimulate one or more lumiphoric materials, are used to illuminate surfaces (e.g., upright surfaces) including printed material produced with CMY or CMYK inks. Vibrancy and/or efficacy may be enhanced by increasing the effective steepness of printed ink reflectance wavelength boundaries by illuminating printed material with solid state light emitters of multiple colors having tailored boundaries (e.g., increased separation between colors and/or increased energy in spectral areas highly reflected by CMY inks, or reducing energy of emissions at wavelengths to which the human eye is less sensitive). Lighting devices may include multiple operating modes having different gamut properties (e.g., relative gamut values). One or more subregions of an upright surface bearing printed material may be preferentially illuminated with an array of solid state light emitters including multiple emitters having different peak wavelengths.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: CI Holdings C.V.Inventors: Antony Paul van de Ven, John Roberts, Benjamin A. Jacobson, Michael Leung, Nalini Gupta

Patent number: 9685585Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to LED components, methods and systems using such components, having light emitter devices with emissions tuned to meet CRI and LER goal values at a defined CCT. These emitter devices and methods may use a combination of light emitting diodes and quantum dots to tune the emission to meet these criteria. The quantum dots may incorporate additional features to protect the quantum dots from environmental conditions and improve heat dissipation, such as coatings and thermally conductive features.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: CREE, INC.Inventors: Nalini Gupta, James Ibbetson, Bernd Keller

Patent number: 9240528Abstract: Solid state light emitting apparatuses include blue LEDs (e.g., including short wavelength and long wavelength blue LEDs in combination) to stimulate green lumiphors, with supplemental emissions by red lumiphors and/or red solid state light emitters, to provide aggregate emissions with high S/P ratio (e.g., ?1.95) and high color rendering values (e.g., ?85), preferably in combination with high brightness and high luminous efficacy. In certain embodiments, a light emitting apparatus may be devoid of a LED having a peak wavelength of from 470-599 nm and/or devoid of lumiphors with peak wavelengths in the yellow range. Multiple LEDs may be arranged in an emitter package. A fabrication method includes mounting multiple solid state emitters (e.g., with a first blue and a second red emitter) to a common substrate, applying a stencil or mask over the second emitter, applying a lumiphoric material over the first emitter, and removing the stencil or mask.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2013Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Michael Bergmann, James Ibbetson, David Clatterbuck, Charles Draper, Nalini Gupta
