    Abstract: Disclosed is a base assembly for supporting a crane pedestal. The base assembly comprises four base units, each having a first end and a second end, and each base unit being of an L-shape with an outside beveled corner. Fastening devices connect each base unit at their first and second end to respective first and second ends of another of the four base units. The four base units are dimensioned so that, when connected by said fastening devices, they form an octagonal-shaped base structure. The four base units are also dimensioned to support four pads that each rest on a face of 14each unit adjacent to its beveled corner when the four base units are assembled in the octagonal-shaped base structure. Also disclosed is a method for assembling a base assembly for supporting a crane pedestal and a fastening device for connecting the ends of two units together.

A reflection surface is provided on the outer reflector part, on which the second part of the light is incident and is reflected thereon and deflected with the reflection toward the main direction.

    Abstract: Provided is a high-decorativeness illumination device that utilizes lenticular lens sheets. An illumination device includes first to third lenticular lens sheets, an LED light source, and a casing. The first and second lenticular lens sheets are laminated such that an angle formed by plano-convex cylindrical lenses falls within a first angle range which is greater than 0 degrees and is less than 30 degrees. Accordingly, moire fringes appear in illumination light rays. The third lenticular lens sheet is laminated on the first and second lenticular lens sheets such that angles formed by plano-convex cylindrical lenses fall within a second angle range which is equal to or greater than 30 degrees and is equal to or less than 90 degrees.

    Abstract: A light-emitting device package and an electronic apparatus are discussed. The light light-emitting device package according to an embodiment includes a light emitting device configured to emit light of a first main wavelength band within a visible light wavelength band; and a first phosphor including a first core and a first shell, the first core including a fluorescent material capable of emitting light of a first wavelength band different from the first main wavelength band of the light emitted from the light emitting device. The first shell eliminates light of a specific wavelength band or attenuates an intensity of light of the specific wavelength band from the light of the first wavelength band to emit light of a second main wavelength band within the visible light wavelength band. The light light-emitting device package further includes a second phosphor including a second core.

    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a strip-like high flexibility region and a strip-like low flexibility region arranged alternately in a direction. The high flexibility region includes a flexible light-emitting panel. The low flexibility region includes the light-emitting panel and a support panel having a lower flexibility than that of the light-emitting panel and overlapping with the light-emitting panel. It is preferable that the light-emitting panel include an external connection electrode and that a length in the direction of a low flexibility region A that overlaps with the external connection electrode be longer than a length in the direction of a low flexibility region B that is closest to the region A.

    Abstract: Troffer lighting systems can include a lighting panel having one or more light sources and one or more wing portions coupled to the lighting panel. The wing portions can be configured as reflectors to reflect light emitted by the one or more light sources. The wing portions (or reflectors) can be rotatably and/or hingedly coupled to the lighting panel. The coupled wing portions can be movable between a closed and opened position relative to the lighting panel. The closed position reduces the overall size of the troffer lighting system compared to the opened position, and the system is operable while in the opened position.
