  • Publication number: 20070163170
    Abstract: A greenhouse has an exterior curtain wall structure formed by spaced tubular posts carrying external transparent panels and bottom non-transparent wall panels below a sill with the panels spanning the posts. A plurality of benches is located within the interior at spaced positions along one side wall with the width of the benches being equal to the post spacing to form a modular construction. A lighting system is matched with the modular construction of the exterior and includes rails aligned with the posts which carry a row of lighting fixtures arranged for common height adjustment to an optimized predetermined height. The lighting fixture includes a parabolic reflector adjustable to incline the directed light inwardly from the side wall and to change the location of the bulb axis relative to the parabolic axis. The ballasts for the lighting fixtures are housed outside the main greenhouse area in a common cabinet forming a panel in the wall structure.

  • Patent number: 6350048
    Abstract: A public transit vehicle has a vehicle body having a roof defining an interior ceiling surface, two side walls each extending longitudinally of the vehicle including an upper side wall portion connecting to the roof and a row of windows underneath the upper portion, a central aisle and two rows of seats each on a respective side of the aisle and along the side wall at the windows and a lighting fixture supported in the vehicle along the ceiling surface longitudinally of the vehicle at a position above each row of seats. Below the lighting fixture is provided an elongate advertising card support panel member for receiving and supporting an advertising card. The housing is substantially continuous along the vehicle and supports a plurality of fluorescent tubes mounted in the light housing. Between each tube and the next is provided a web member having an inner surface matching that of the housing and an outer surface butting edges of the individual lens/covers mounted on the light housing.

  • Patent number: 5204800
    Abstract: An electrical device for the purpose of voltage surges is provided for protection in the format of conventional circuit breakers or interrupters (including fusible types). This protective device comprises of one or more electrical components, housed in a suitable enclosure. The format of this enclosure is interfaceable with power panels or panelboards. A plurality of device connections and positions within such an electrical panel, allows this device to connect any or all of the panel power phases or main electric bus bars through the device internal electrical protective network to the panel electrical ground and/or electrical neutral and/or any other reference electrical conductors.
