Abstract: A linear light-emitting diode (LED) lighting apparatus may include an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that may include a first plurality of LEDs that produces a first light having a first color temperature. The first plurality of LEDs aligns within a first linear shape. The second plurality of LEDs may produce a second light having a second color temperature different from the first color temperature. The second plurality of LEDs aligns within a second linear shape. The lighting apparatus may also include a driver circuit that outputs a plurality of currents and a switch assembly that may couple to the driver circuit. The switch assembly may include a first switch that may cause the driver circuit to output one of the plurality of currents and a second switch that may cause the one of the plurality of currents to couple to the first plurality of LEDs, the second plurality of LEDs, or both.

Abstract: A personal annunciation device (PAD) providing, in an area of interest, compensatory annunciation of the presence of an abnormal condition in a hazardous area and accountability of the user of the PAD. Compensatory annunciation supplements primary annunciation provided by an emergency notification system (ENS). A detection system detects an abnormal condition, and a wireless transmission system transmits a wireless transmission to the PAD. The PAD has a housing enclosing the components of the PAD including a communication module for receiving the wireless transmission, a power supply, processor, memory, annunciation system, and RFID module. The RFID module has an RFID receiver that listens for an RFID transmission from an RFID reader disposed in a portal of an area of interest. The PAD identifies the transmission and changes its operating state based on the transmission. The RFID readers recognize, record, and transmit the state of the PAD to a base station providing accountability of the wearer.

Abstract: Golf club heads are described. The present invention is directed to golf club heads that have a thicker and heavier top line region and a thinner and lighter sole region than conventional designs. The novel golf club heads of the invention have a low tendency to get stuck in turf, change the face angle upon impact providing a stronger hitting position, increase the club head speed, and provide straighter and increased flight distance. Golf club irons, fairway woods, and driver are provided.
