Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include arrays of motion sensors that may be used to monitor a space to determine occupancy characteristics of the space, such as whether or not the space is occupied and the number of people located within the space. The array of motion sensors may be operatively connected to one or more building system components, such as lighting and HVAC equipment and can be used for adjusting an operating condition of the building system component based on whether a space is occupied.

Abstract: A light detection and ranging system 100 for use with a vehicle 500. The system includes a transmitter 102 configured to transmit three transmission wavelengths nominally in a range from 800 nm to 1700 nm. A receiver is configured to receive three reflected signals 114, each of the three reflected signals 114 being a portion of an associated one of the three transmission wavelengths reflected to the receiver 104 from a roadway object 112. A controller 106 provides a categorization output in response to comparing reflectance values of the three reflected signals 114 to categorize the roadway object 112 into one of a plurality of pre-defined material-type categories. A method of controlling the travel of a vehicle based on a categorization output from a controller 106 is also provided.

Abstract: A conductor pad and a flexible circuit including a conductor pad are provided. The conductor pad includes a first contact region, a second contact region, and a body portion configured to establish a conductive path between the first contact region and the second contact region. The body portion includes a perimeter edge having at least a first convex segment and a second convex with a first non-convex segment disposed between the first convex segment and the second convex segment. A method of constructing a flexible circuit to facilitate roll-to-roll manufacturing of the flexible circuit is also provided.

Abstract: A control scheme for a dimmable lighting driver is provided. The control scheme may operate with a phase cut type dimmer (leading or trailing edge). In an embodiment, the control scheme is programmed or otherwise configured into a controller as a control algorithm. The control algorithm is configured to measure phase cut and zero crossing angles of the input mains waveform, and to subsequently maintain constant LED current commensurate with a user-set dimming level, with no flicker. The control algorithm may be implemented in software, such as a firmware-based routine executable by one or more controllers of a given driver. The one or more controllers may be, for example, an existing general purpose controller of the given driver, or a dedicated dimming controller. Numerous configurations will be apparent in light of this disclosure.

Abstract: A cleaner head for a cleaning appliance, comprising a brushbar, a housing defining a chamber which at least partially surrounds the brushbar, the chamber having a dirty air inlet and a dirty air outlet, and a scraper having a working edge which extends in the longitudinal direction of the brushbar. The scraper is arranged such that, in use, the working edge scrapes debris entrained by the brushbar from the brushbar. The working edge has a profile which is shaped such that debris which accumulates at the working edge is drawn by the airflow through the cleaner head along the working edge towards the dirty air outlet.
