Abstract: The light fixture includes a frame, an optically transmissive panel assembly, a set of light emitting diodes (LEDs), and driving circuitry. The frame has a frame length measured along a length axis and a frame width measured along a width axis, wherein the frame length is greater than the frame width. The optically transmissive panel assembly receives light from the set of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and emits light from an emission area in a patterned luminous intensity, using patterning optics adjacent a light guide plate. The driving circuitry is disposed within the frame and is operatively coupled to the set of LEDs and to a power supply external to the light fixture. The driving circuitry may include a first circuitry segment disposed within a first edge channel of the frame, and a second circuitry segment disposed within a second edge channel of the frame.

Abstract: A cloud-based static analysis security tool accessible by a set of application development environments is augmented to provide for anonymous knowledge sharing to facilitate reducing security vulnerabilities. To the end, a crowdsourcing platform and social network are associated with the application development environments. Access to the social network platform by users of the application development environments is enabled. The anonymous access enables users to post messages without exposing sensitive data associated with a particular application development environment. As the static analysis security tool is used, a knowledgebase of information regarding identified security findings, fix priorities, and so forth, is continuously updated. Social network content (e.g., in the form of analytics, workflow recommendations, and the like) is then published from the knowledgebase to provide users with security knowledge generated by the tool from the set of application development environments.
