  • Patent number: 7148187
    Abstract: A cleaning composition with a 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid and a nonionic surfactant gives good antimicrobial performance and good filming and streaking performance. The composition can contain a solvent with low water solubility, a volatile solvent that is miscible in water, and additional surfactants. The nonionic surfactant can be food safe. The composition can be impregnated and used on a wipe or other substrate.

  • Patent number: 7063445
    Abstract: A luminaire retrofit panel including a main wall adapted to support a luminaire in a central opening of the main wall, and including an outer perimeter. A side wall extends from the outer perimeter of the main wall. A plurality of secondary walls extend from the side wall and extend over a portion of the main wall toward the central opening of the main wall. The secondary walls are substantially parallel to the main wall. The plurality of secondary walls support at least one hinge and at least one latch. The hinge is engagable with a frame and allows the main wall to pivot with respect the frame. The latch is engagable with the frame to hold the main wall to releasably secure the main wall to the frame.

  • Patent number: 6755559
    Abstract: A luminaire comprising an optical assembly that has a mounting interface. A socket holder has a mounting member that is adapted to mount the socket holder to the mounting interface of the optical assembly. First and second proximate surfaces are adapted to support a socket and a light source in first and second orientations, respectively. The socket holder defines a central axis. A longitudinal axis is defined by the socket and the light source in the first orientation is substantially parallel to the central axis of the socket holder and a longitudinal axis of the socket and the light source in the second orientation is angled with respect to the central axis of the socket holder.
