Abstract: A light fixture includes an inner housing made from flame-resistant material to contain high-voltage components and optionally provide structural support. An outer housing encloses the inner housing and includes an optical component and components formed from sustainable materials, which are either recycled, recyclable, bio-degradable, or bio-renewable. The fixture's design ensures compliance with industry safety standards for flame resistance and high voltage. The sustainable materials used in the outer housing contribute significantly to the fixture's total weight, promoting environmental responsibility and sustainability within the commercial lighting industry.

Abstract: An illustrative elongate lighting fixture comprises a first fixture portion including a first lens and a first support, a second fixture portion including a second lens and a second support, and a hinge coupling the first support to the second support for movement of the first and second fixture portions between a folded position and an extended position. In the folded position used for packaging, transport, and storage, the first fixture portion overlies the second fixture portion and the first and second fixture portions remain coupled by the hinge. In the extended position for installation a first joining end of the first lens abuts a second joining end of the second lens to form a continuous illumination surface and the hinge is concealed by the first and second fixture portions.

Abstract: A mount for coupling a lighting fixture to a hanging structure includes an upper section adapted to attach to a pendant or other hanging structure and a lower section adapted to attach to the lighting fixture. The upper section includes an elongate rack and a pair of knuckles. The lower section including an elongate hanger for engaging with the elongate rack to support the lower section and the lighting fixture, including when the lower section is in an open position relative to the upper section during installation and wiring. The lower section also includes a knuckle. A locking member selectively engages the three knuckle to lock the lower section in a closes position relative to the upper section. The mount can further include removeable end covers for enclose opposite ends of the upper section.

Abstract: A light fixture includes a central housing, a panel, a light source, and a tether. The central housing defines first and second side surfaces and a bottom surface, and the bottom surface defines a plane. The panel is pivotably coupled with the first side surface, and the light source is coupled with the panel. The tether is coupled at one end with the panel to pivotably suspend the panel, and the second end of the tether includes an attachment member. The attachment member is configured to selectively couple with any one of a plurality of anchor positions located on the central housing. The panel is therefore fixable between a plurality of angles relative to the plane as determined by the attachment member being coupled with a selected one of the plurality of anchor positions.

Abstract: A handheld electronic device has an outer face in which a user display and a navigation touch pad are located. The touch pad is adapted to provide a user input for controlling at least one function of the electronic device. A plurality of touch sensors are located at predetermined locations about the area of the touch pad and detect touching by a user's finger in order to provide an output control signal. A light source is associated with each touch sensor. A control unit receives input from the touch sensors and activates each light source in turn as the associated touch sensor is touched by a user, so that the user receives visual feedback as they are controlling the device.

Abstract: An apparatus having a housing and an opening is covered by a moveable panel, when the panel is in a first position, a first appliance, for example, a clock is presented. When the panel is in a second position, a second appliance, for example, a projector is presented.

Abstract: A wireless speaker and mounting system for use with a resonating surface of an automobile includes a wireless speaker mechanism including a vibrator, the wireless speaker mechanism configured to receive and convert a wireless signal representative of sound from a separate wireless electronic device into vibrations transmitted by vibrator to the resonating surface of the automobile for creating sound waves by the resonating surface; and a mounting mechanism configured to directly mount the wireless speaker mechanism to the resonating surface of the automobile.
