Publication number: 20240392937Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for lighting effects, including simulating a flame. A three dimensional carrier includes an array of a plurality of light sources distributed on it. A control circuit coordinates on/off of the light sources in a manner to simulate a jumping flame. In one embodiment, the three dimensional carrier and LEDs are encapsulated in an at least partially light transmissive cover. This light modular engine includes a control circuit and an interface to electrical power. The system can include the light engine in a light fixture such as an architectural fixture. The methodology can include a sequence of on/off and brightness variations for the array of light sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2024Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventors: William P. Green, JR., Ninghua Wei

Patent number: 8490824Abstract: A garbage can for controlling an explosive charge generating an explosive force having an outer shell having vertical walls and a bottom; an inner shell attached to the bottom having vertical walls and a middle wall attached to the bottom between the outer shell and inner shell. A first layer of compressible material between the outer shell and middle shell and a second layer of compression material is between the middle shell and the inner shell. The compression material itself may different from one layer to the other. The walls and material are shaped to direct the explosive force upward.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2003Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Inventors: William P. Green, Jr., David Fannon
