  • Publication number: 20240192782
    Abstract: A system including a first luminaire housing, a second luminaire housing, and a controller. The first luminaire housing includes a first light source configured to provide illumination to a first location, and a first I/O device configured to sense a first data set corresponding the first location. The second luminaire housing is separate from the first luminaire housing and includes a second light source configured to provide illumination to a second location, and a second I/O device configured to sense a second data set corresponding to the second location. The controller is configured to receive a portion of the first data set and a portion of the second data set, combine the portion of the first data set and the portion of the second data set to form a third data set corresponding to the first location and second location, and output the third data set.

  • Patent number: 11686894
    Abstract: A luminaire includes a housing, a light diffusion panel, a reflective surface, and a plurality of light sources. The light diffusion panel includes a light source aperture, an edge surface bounding the light source aperture, and an emission surface. The emission surface includes first and second emission surface sections. The second emission surface section is disposed on an opposite side of the light source aperture from the first emission surface section. The reflective surface is disposed on a side of the light diffusion panel opposite the emission surface. The light sources project light into the light diffusion panel through the edge surface. The light sources include first and second light sources. The first light source projects light into the light diffusion panel and through the first emission surface section. The second light source projects light into the light diffusion panel and through the second emission surface section.

  • Publication number: 20230045327
    Abstract: A treadmill has a treadmill frame and a treadmill belt movably mounted on the treadmill frame. An air space exists between the treadmill belt and a support surface on which the treadmill is placed at a rear of the treadmill belt. A disconnect switch is positioned to engage an object entering the air space. The disconnect switch is operatively connected to the treadmill motor so that the treadmill motor automatically shuts off when the disconnect switch is activated.
