Abstract: In some embodiments, a configurable lighting device, connectors, controllers, and methods for layout detection are provided. The configurable lighting devices, suitably connected, form an assembly of configurable lighting devices that can be removably connected with one another and re-arranged. Connectors are provided that form mechanical and electrical connections between configurable lighting devices such that a flow of electricity and control signals may be propagated without the need for direct connection between every configurable lighting device and a controller. The controller or devices connected to the controller are configured to perform layout detection such that pleasing visualizations may be rendered across the assembly that are rendered using at least the detected layout. When the configuration of the configurable lighting devices changes, the layout detection is automatically updated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an interactive modular lighting system are described. The lighting systems enable users to dynamically build a luminaire through a modular joining of individual light-emitting units, however such that risk of electrical failure is automatically prevented through a dynamic computation of electrical circuit properties and dynamic configuration of components. Additionally, lighting systems with granular and configurable touch sensing are described, wherein a user's interaction with the lighting system can be coupled to actuation of properties of the lighting system or of properties of other devices in communication with the lighting system. Illustrative embodiments of applications of said lighting systems in smart home and gaming are provided.

Abstract: Improved systems are directed to electronic devices that operate in conjunction with a control mechanism and various sensors. A learning protocol is established to provide a technical solution whereby sensor signal from the various sensors is utilized to implement an incremental approach to using sensed information. The electronic devices can be luminaires, and the control mechanism a lighting control mechanism. The sensing, for example, can include sensory information from at least one remote sensing device and at least one local sensing device to control changes in operation of one or more connected electronic devices.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an LED packaging unit, a manufacturing method for the same, and an LED lamp. The LED packaging unit has a common substrate, N number of red LED chips, M number of green LED chips and X number of blue LED chips. The N number of red LED chips, the M number of green LED chips and the X number of blue LED chips are arranged and packaged on a bottom surface of a recess of the common substrate. The red LED chips, the green LED chips and the blue LED chips are all monochromatic LED chips, with N, M, and X being integers greater than 1. The distances between any adjacent two red LED chips (or green LED chips or blue LED chips) are substantially consistent.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and systems of determining biopolymer profiles and correlations between structural units (residues) of a biopolymer based on sampling of the conformational space available to the molecule. The correlations between these structural units can further be used to find networks within a biopolymer such as the coupled residue networks in a protein. The invention also provides for designing and engineering biopolymers including polypeptides, nucleic acids and carbohydrates using the information derived from the conformation clustering and subsequent methods described herein.

The mounting assembly has a mounting member including a first surface connectable to a mounting position, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a generally circular ring-shaped first connecting portion formed by extending outwardly along the second surface. There is also provided with a base plate connected to the mounting member, with a middle portion of the base plate extending outwardly to form a second connecting portion detachably connected to the first connecting portion. The first connecting portion is further configured to be movably engaged with the second connecting portion such that the base plate can adjust a mounting angle relative to the mounting member.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of electronic data communications, and more specifically to transport methods for hierarchical data networks in relation to providing “address-less data transport” of data packets. An order is introduced or associated with nodes to establish relationships, and the order may be stored in the form of a tree topology in a data structure. The order of nodes is thus known, and logic and/or other data sets, data payloads, etc., may be transmitted across the nodes, wherein the steps to execute the transmission are more efficient due to the properties of the ordered nodes. Each node in the plurality of nodes is comprised of a plurality of network interfaces, which through pairwise joining, forms a data network of a tree topology.
