  • Patent number: 11493186
    Abstract: A theatrical lighting apparatus including a plurality of light sources including a first light source and a second light source; and a plurality of reflector segments including first and second reflector segments; wherein the plurality of light sources are centrally located between the plurality of reflector segments; wherein each of the plurality of reflector segments has a focal point; wherein the first light source is located approximately the focal point of the first reflector segment; and wherein the second light source is located approximately the focal point of the second reflector segment. The plurality of light sources may include at least one white light emitting diode light source. The plurality of light sources may be fixed to a single heat exchanger centrally located between the plurality of reflector segments. The heat exchanger may be configured to be moved relative to the plurality of reflector segments by an actuator.

  • Patent number: 11341005
    Abstract: a data store and a proxy system. The data store may store state data relating to a cell of the application, each cell having a state. The proxy system may identify whether the cell is operating in the active state, the passive state, or the fenced state and access a database of acceptable and unacceptable commands for the cell's state. For each request directed to the cell received, the proxy system may identifies the request as an acceptable request based on identifying that one or more commands of the request are acceptable to process in the cell's state or identifies the request as an unacceptable request based on identifying that one or more commands of the request are unacceptable to process in the cell's state. The proxy system then conveys the acceptable requests and unacceptable requests appropriately.

  • Patent number: 7004602
    Abstract: An LED light apparatus and methodology that can produce a collinear beam of light. The apparatus has a housing with three sets of LED light assemblies each having several LED lights of the same color, being red, blue or green. A dichroic bandpass filter and a dichroic notch filter are incorporated along with a power supply. In one embodiment both filters intersect forming an x-pattern. Red light passes through both filters. The resulting light from the bandpass filter combines with blue light and passes through the notch filter. This combined light stream then combines with green light to form a collinear beam of white or colored light. The resulting light from the red light passing through the notch filter combines with green light and passes through the bandpass filter. This combined light stream then combines with the blue light to form a collinear beam of white or colored light.

  • Patent number: 6969180
    Abstract: An LED light apparatus and methodology that can produce a collinear beam of white or colored light. The apparatus has a housing which incorporates three sets of LED light assemblies each set having a plurality of LED lights arranged in an a x a, a x b or other suitable geometric pattern. Each set contains LED lights of the same color, being either red, blue or green. A dichroic bandpass filter and a dichroic notch filter are also incorporated. The apparatus is attached to a power driver which connects to a microcontroller, being a DMX controller, TC/IP controller, or the like. When the apparatus is turned on, red light from the red LED lights passes through the dichroic bandpass filter. The resulting light then combines with the blue light from the blue LED lights and passes through dichroic notch filter. This next light stream then combines with the green light from the green LED lights to form a collinear beam of white or colored light.
