Abstract: A lighting system that includes a lighting device and a dimming controller. The lighting device has a support structure that supports multiple lighting zones. Each lighting zone including one or more lighting sources. The dimming controller is in communication with multiple dimmers supported by the lighting device. Each of the lighting sources is coupled to a corresponding dimmer from the multiple dimmers. The dimming controller is configured to communicate a controlled setting for one or more of the lighting zones to the multiple dimmers. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A vapor sensor is constructed from a single glass filament less than 2 millimeters in diameter and greater than 1 millimeters in length, the filament having a first end and a second end separated by a long axis and comprising electrodes at each end, coated with a resilient material, and a first layer of conducting particles embedded in the resilient material and forming a conducting path between ends of the filament.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an alarm device, enclosed in a water tight container adapted to buoyantly support the alarm device and a wireless receiver, the water tight container adapted to couple with a key ring, including hardware logic and-or logic embodied in machine readable memory to receive information from a remote vapor sensor and to activate the alarm if the information indicates a hazardous vapor condition.

Abstract: A vapor sensor includes a non-conducting filament less than 2 millimeters in diameter and greater than 1 millimeters in length. The filament is coated with a resilient material. A layer of conducting particles is embedded in the resilient material and forms a conducting path between ends of the filament.

Abstract: A chemical vapor sensor includes an elastomeric material layer, a first stratum of electrically conducting particles bonded chemically to the surface of the elastomeric layer, and a second stratum of nonconducting or semiconducting particles adhering to the first stratum of particles primarily through nonchemical particle-to-particle attractive forces.

Abstract: A system includes a vapor sensor mounted in an engine compartment of a powered vehicle and an alarm device adapted to couple with a key ring, the alarm comprising hardware logic and-or logic embodied in machine readable memory devices to communicate with the vapor sensor and to provide an alarm when a hazardous vapor condition exists in the engine compartment.

Abstract: A chemical vapor sensor includes an polymer layer and a first stratum of electrically conductive particles partially embedded in the polymer layer. A second stratum of electrically conductive particles adheres to the first stratum of particles primarily through particle-to-particle attractive forces.

Abstract: A water heater includes a gas valve and a solenoid to operate the gas valve. A thermocouple of the water heater is heated by a pilot light to provide a current source to maintain the gas valve in an open position. A sensor activated switch switches current from a second current source to the solenoid to move the gas valve to a closed position.
