Patent number: 8147108Abstract: A modular light bar having crisscross lighting in the front and rear. Each module may include two horizontal layers of lighting supported on supports connected to a longitudinal base. A wire harness is positioned within a longitudinal channel in the longitudinal base, with the harness having one end connected to quick disconnects within the modules and having another end connected to a controller. Each of the light bar module is serviceable independent of the other light bar modules, such that the support positioned within and connected to the light bar module being serviced is removable from the light bar module without accessing the other light bar modules by disconnecting the quick disconnect positioned within each light bar module being serviced.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2010Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Code 3, Inc.Inventors: Paul L. Stein, Robert E. Kreutzer

Publication number: 20100014288Abstract: A light stick device and a secondary light source for use in walk-in coolers and other product display devices. The light stick device is configured for replacing existing fluorescent tubes and includes a body portion, an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) extending along a length of the body portion, an array of deflectors located such that at least one deflector is positioned between each LED to deflect light therefrom, and an electrical power connection to power the LEDs. The electrical power connection is adapted for use with existing fluorescent tube fixtures located within the walk-in cooler or other display unit. The present light stick device may also include at least one plug-in socket for powering another electrical device including a secondary light source from the present light stick device. The secondary electrical device may be configured to interface between a standard fluorescent tube and its power fixtures to draw power from such fixtures.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2009Publication date: January 21, 2010Applicant: PRESENCE FROM INNOVATION, LLCInventors: Robert E. Kreutzer, Donald J. Miller, JR.

Publication number: 20090308084Abstract: A cooler/counter merchandising display unit combination wherein a merchandising cooler is integrated into various counter arrangements, the cooler being substantially contained within the footprint of the merchandising counter or check-out counter arrangement. In one embodiment, a modular refrigerated cooler is interfaced with a docking base unit which can be positioned, secured or interfaced at the end of a particular service counter, or between two counter portions. In another embodiment, the docking base unit is integrally formed into the merchandising counter and the modular refrigerated cooler is again interfaced with the integrated docking base unit. In still another embodiment, the service counter, docking base unit and refrigerated cooler are all integrated into a one-piece counter arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2009Publication date: December 17, 2009Applicant: PRESENCE FROM INNOVATION, LLCInventors: Robert E. Kreutzer, Donald J. Miller, JR.

Patent number: 6595669Abstract: The device includes a visible light source and a transmissive/reflective layer on a vehicle. The layer is between the source and an observer and transmits emergency warning signals of various colors to the observer. In addition, the layer reflects ambient light so that when the light source is not illuminated the appearance of the device is changed and the emergency warning colors, if any, of the device are masked.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Code 3, Inc.Inventors: Robert E. Kreutzer, Dennis A. Dohogne, Paul L. Stein, Kelly J. Kyriakos, Michael W. Tobin

Patent number: 6585399Abstract: A visible light source adapted to be mounted on the vehicle for generating visible light to be used to create warning signals which are viewed by observers remote from the vehicle. A dichroic element adapted to be mounted on the vehicle and adjacent to the visible light source transmits at least some of the visible light generated by the light source and reflects at least some of the visible light generated by the light source. The transmitted and reflected light provides warning light signals within different wavelength ranges when viewed by an observer remote from the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2002Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: Code 3, Inc.Inventors: Robert E. Kreutzer, Dennis A. Dohogne, Paul L. Stein
