Abstract: An improved holding device is disclosed for supporting a traffic beacon comprising a longitudinal extending holding member having a bottom surface for resting on a generally flat surface. The longitudinal extending holding member has opposed inclined sidewalls meeting in a generally planar top surface. A coupling device is defined within the longitudinal extending holding member for securing a traffic beacon to the holding member. A riser is integrally formed with the generally planar top surface of the longitudinal extending holding member for raising the height of the improved holding device.

The locking device comprises a locking bar extending over at least a portion of the coupling device. A fastener device fastens the locking bar to the holding device.

Abstract: A showerhead (802, 804) or faucet (12, 602, 702) includes a water outlet (16, 606, 706, 802) for emitting a water flow (22, 610, 710) and a handle (18, 20, 604, 704, 830) for controlling the water flow (22, 610, 770). At least one LED (42, 242, 342, 442, 542, 544, 546, 624, 658, 730, 810) is arranged on or in the showerhead (802, 804) or faucet (12, 602, 702) and viewable by an associated user thereof. A light-transmissive encapsulant (630, 660, 732) seals the at least one LED (42, 242, 342, 442, 542, 544, 546, 624, 658, 730, 810) and transmits light produced by the at least one LED (42, 242, 342, 442, 542, 544, 546, 624, 658, 730, 810) to the associated user. A controller (550) produces a controller output for controlling the LED light emission responsive to at least one of a water flow rate, a water flow temperature, an ambient light level, and a position of the handle (18, 20, 604, 704, 830).

Abstract: A lamp (10) includes an optics module (12) and an electronics module (14, 60, 70). The optics module (10) includes a plurality of LEDs (76) arranged on a printed circuit board (18) and having a plurality of input leads, and a heat sink (22) having a conduit (40) for the input leads. The plurality of LEDs (16) thermally communicate with the heat sink (22). The electronics module (14, 60, 70) is adapted to power the plurality of LEDs (16) through the input leads. The electronics module (14, 60, 70) has a first end (52) adapted to rigidly connect with the heat sink (22), and a selected electrical connector (50, 62, 72) arranged on a second end for receiving electrical power. The electronics module (14, 60, 70) further houses circuitry (80) arranged therewithin for adapting the received electrical power (82) to drive the LEDs (16).

Abstract: An apparatus and method is described for translocating a lane divider from an initial position to a final position on a roadway. The apparatus comprises a conveyor connected to a vehicle. The conveyor includes a receiving segment for receiving the lane divider from the initial position on the roadway and a discharging segment for discharging the lane divider to the final position on the roadway. The receiving segment and the discharging segment are pivotally connected relative to one another. The receiving segment may be pivoted to enable the lateral movement of the receiving segment to accommodate for variation in the initial position of the lane divider on the roadway. The discharging segment may be pivoted for discharging the lane divider to a final position aligned on the roadway. A translocating segment may be interposed between the receiving segment and the discharging segment for moving the lane divider from one lane to another lane on the roadway.
