  • Patent number: 12072082
    Abstract: Example embodiments provide lighting fixture mounting kits for mounting a flat panel lighting fixture to a mounting surface. The lighting fixture mounting kits may comprise a mounting portion (e.g., a mounting plate) and a lighting fixture. The mounting portion may be secured relative to a mounting surface and may comprise mounting catches. The lighting fixture may be secured relative to the mounting portion, and may comprise fixture catches configured to selectably engage the mounting catches. The lighting fixture may be slidable relative to the mounting portion between an engaged configuration in which the fixture catches are engaged with the mounting catches; and a disengaged configuration in which the fixture catches are disengaged from the mounting catches. When in the disengaged configuration, the lighting fixture is pivotable away from the mounting portion to facilitate access to a back portion of the lighting fixture.

  • Patent number: 11827075
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided employing a thermoelectric cooler, a power supply, and a control module incorporated into an insulated cargo container. The temperature-controlled container provides a length of time available to ship a cargo at temperature that is extended over existing methods and devices. This allows the temperature-controlled container to be shipped using transport modalities and routes requiring shipping times that are longer than acceptable for cargo requiring refrigeration. Thus, embodiments may be used to ship temperature-sensitive cargo as if it were a dry good.

  • Patent number: 11118769
    Abstract: A wall-mounted lighting fixture includes a mounting plate, a canopy and an aiming assembly. The canopy is secured to a mounting plate mounted to a wall. The aiming assembly includes a disk, a tilting assembly, and a light emitting assembly. The canopy defines a circular recess which the disk is positioned flush within. The tilting assembly is coupled to the disk and the light emitting assembly, and includes a pivot joint, for example a hinge, allowing the light emitting assembly to tilt relative to the disk. The disk is rotatably coupled to the canopy allowing the light emitting assembly to rotate relative to the canopy, and therefore the wall. The tilting and rotation allow emitted light from the light emitting assembly to be aimed in two degrees of freedom.
