  • Publication number: 20260057124
    Abstract: A lighting design method includes receiving a map of a geographic area and displaying the map of the geographic area on a screen. The method includes displaying a boundary line overlaid on the map in response to a boundary line user input provided to the user device, where a lighting design target area is bound by the boundary line. The method includes displaying a light fixture model overlaid on the map within the lighting design target area, where the light fixture model is overlaid at a location indicated by a location indicator user input and where the light fixture model represents a light fixture selected from a light fixture menu. The method further includes generating illuminance information at least based on user provided information including a configuration of the light fixture and displaying, by the user device, the illuminance information overlaid on the lighting design target area.

  • Publication number: 20250164031
    Abstract: An over-pressure relief device includes a pressure relief member and a rupture indicator. The pressure relief member includes a central rupturable section and an outer flange section in surrounding relationship to the central section. The rupture indicator includes an electrically nonconductive substrate and an electrically conductive trace. The substrate is operatively associated with the outer flange section and includes a cantilevered tab that extends over and in spaced relation to a surface of the central section. The trace is located on the substrate and extends onto a portion of the tab. The trace defines an electrical circuit capable of conducting an electrical signal and operable to detect a process condition associated with the over-pressure relief device.

  • Publication number: 20250068584
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for processing Ethernet packets at a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). One programmable integrated circuit includes: an internal network on chip (iNOC) comprising rows and columns; clusters, coupled to the iNOC, comprising a network access point (NAP) and programmable logic; and an Ethernet controller coupled to the iNOC. When the controller operates in packet mode, each complete inbound Ethernet packet is sent from the controller to one of the NAPs via the iNOC, where two or more NAPs are configurable to receive the complete inbound Ethernet packets from the controller. The controller is configurable to operate in quad segment interface (QSI) mode where each complete inbound Ethernet packet is broken into segments, which are sent from the controller to different NAPs via the iNOC, where two or more NAPs are configurable to receive the complete inbound Ethernet packets from the controller.
