| 20110116676 | Apparatus Pertaining to a Cover-Attachment Assembly for Use with an Audio-Annunciating Housing - A cover-attachment assembly works in conjunction with an audio-annunciator housing that is configured to operationally mount to a wall. This audio-annunciator housing can have one or more arcuately-shaped tracks and one or more snap interfaces. The cover-attachment assembly comprises at least one arcuately-shaped guide surface that is shaped, sized, and positioned to fit within the arcuately-shaped track when pivotally attaching the cover-attachment assembly to the audio-annunciator housing. The snap interface, in turn, is shaped, sized, and positioned to lockingly mate with the audio-annunciator housing snap interface to hold the cover-attachment assembly in an installed position with respect to the audio-annunciator housing. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110051418 | Method and Apparatus Pertaining to Heat Sinking a Light Fixture Light-Emitting Diode - A wall-mounted light fixture comprises an LED-mounting surface having one or more LED's mounted thereon to serve as a primary source of illumination for the wall-mounted light fixture. This wall-mounted light fixture also generally comprises a house that contains the one or more LED's. This housing also comprises, on a side that is directly thermally coupled to the LED(s) and that is oriented towards and disposed closest to the aforementioned vertical wall (when the wall-mounted light fixture is properly mounted on the vertical wall), a heat sink. This heat sink is thermally coupled to the LED-mounting surface and has an exterior portion shaped to have a large surface area to thereby substantially increase a heat-exchange capacity of the heat sink. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20090298450 | System and Method for Transmitting Signals to an Appliance - A transmitter apparatus is provided that includes an actuator and a transmitter with a housing around an antenna and wireless transmission circuitry. The actuator is mounted to a structural element of a building and is at least partially exposed and accessible to a user. The housing is coupled to the actuator and is arranged and configured to extend at least partially into an opening in the structural element of the building. The housing generally surrounds transmission circuitry and an antenna. The transmission circuitry is arranged and configured to receive the actuations from the actuator and responsively transmit radio frequency (RF) signals to a remotely situated appliance via the antenna. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090298449 | System and Method for Transmitting Signals To An Appliance - A transmitter apparatus is provided that includes an actuator and a transmitter with a housing around an antenna and wireless transmission circuitry. The actuator is mounted to a structural element of a building and is at least partially exposed and accessible to a user. The housing is coupled to the actuator and is arranged and configured to extend at least partially into an opening in the structural element of the building. The housing generally surrounds transmission circuitry and an antenna. The transmission circuitry is arranged and configured to receive the actuations from the actuator and responsively transmit radio frequency (RF) signals to a remotely situated appliance via the antenna. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090298445 | System and Method for Transmitting Signals To An Appliance - A transmitter apparatus effective for activating a remotely situated appliance includes a radio frequency (RF) transmitter. The RF transmitter is configured to be mounted to a structural element of a building and configured to receive an actuation by a user to wirelessly transmit a signal. An antenna is coupled to the RF transmission circuitry and is arranged and configured to transmit the signal to a remotely situated appliance. The antenna is disposed within an opening in the structural element of the building and is of dimensions so as to extend at least partially through the opening. The antenna transmits the signal to the appliance without significant interference or absorption from the structural element of the building. | 12-03-2009 |
