Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a decorative light string including a first light strand, a power supply, a controller, and an electrical connector. The first light strand includes a plurality of parallel connected light emitting elements. The power supply is configured to convert alternating current (AC) line power to direct voltage (DC) voltage power to power the first light strand. The controller is operatively coupled to the first light strand and the power supply. The controller is configured to control the plurality of light emitting elements. The electrical connector couples a first light strand to a second decorative light string via the AC line power.

Abstract: A universal module capable of being removably coupled to each of a plurality of distinct products for demonstrating a functionality is described. In the universal module an activation switch is operatively coupled to a DC power source. An external electrical connector is operatively coupled to the DC power source and the activation switch. An external electrical connector is configured to removably couple the universal module to an external circuit of one of the plurality of distinct products. The circuit has an integrated circuit that is operatively coupled to the DC power source, the activation switch and the external electrical connector. When the external electrical connector is coupled to the external circuit and the activation switch is activated, the integrated circuit outputs a voltage from the DC power source through the external electrical connector to enable a functionality of a coupled product for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: An adaptable three-dimensional ornamental wire frame model includes a head, a neck, a body and various appendages. The various appendages are mounted to the body or to each other by pivot joints that permit pivoting of the appendages relative to the body and/or to each other. The model is adaptable to posing in multiple ornamental positions and configurations as desired by the user. Preferably, lights on a light string are mounted on the adaptable three-dimensional ornamental wire frame model to outline the shape of the model.

Abstract: A decorative light string includes a controller having a master mode and a slave mode, with the master mode being the default. A light strand including a plurality of light emitting elements is operatively coupled to the controller, as is a light pattern selector. In the master mode, the controller is configured to control the light emitting elements according to a setting input at the light pattern selector. A mode select circuit is electronically coupled to the controller, and the controller is configured to enter the slave mode when a control signal is received by the mode select circuit.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an LED light system that comprises a control circuit that operates on a pair of 1.5 volt batteries but which generates an operational voltage in excess of 3.0 volts. The lighting system includes a boost circuit that raises the operational voltage of the system to 5.0 volts, and an output circuit connected to a plurality of LEDs that controls their function.

Abstract: A decorative light string comprises a plurality of spaced illuminatable LED light bulbs which are interconnected by an electrically conductive string having a plug for providing the power to illuminate the bulbs. Each bulb has a cap mounted to the conductive string. The cap has a portion made of a transparent/translucent material to permit light to pass therethrough. The cap also has a light blocking portion to reflect and concentrate the light passing through the light bulb. The same features could be included in an individual LED light bulb for industrial, commercial or home usage.
