  • Patent number: 10865963
    Abstract: A luminaire for architectural, industrial and warehouse applications can be assembled using an extruded housing having curved sides connected by a cross member. Window openings in the curved sides can allow light to exit toward the sides of the luminaire while most of the light exits through a lens on the bottom. The extrusion can have channels and slots such that optical elements and an LED array can be slid into the housing and retained by endcaps. A housing cover can overlie a wireway while being held in place by screws creating a clamping force between the housing cover and fixture brackets retained within the housing. The luminaire can be suspended by the fixture brackets or by elements attached to the fixture brackets.

  • Patent number: 10668396
    Abstract: There described a computerized yo-yo toy that uses an acceleration measuring device, a computation and control device, a communication device and an electric clutch device to effect the motion of the computerized yo-yo toy. The acceleration measuring device measures the acceleration values of the computerized yo-yo toy. The computation and control device uses the measured acceleration values to generate control signals to the electric clutch device. The electric clutch device creates or eliminates friction with an outer case of a ball bearing, based on the control signals, to affect the motion of the computerized yo-yo toy. The communication device receives setup parameters from an external device and transmits the setup parameters to the computation and control device. The computation and control device may further generate the control signals to the electric clutch device based on the setup parameters.
