20090276632 | Systems, Methods, and Media for Providing Secure Content Information - Systems, methods, and media for providing secure content information are provided. In some embodiments, systems for providing secure content information are provided, the systems comprising: a processor that creates a payload, creates a validation value, securely stores the validation value in association with a content distribution, and stores the payload in association with the content distribution. In some embodiments, systems for providing secure content information are provided, the systems comprising: a processor that receives a payload associated with a content distribution, creates a first validation value for the payload, recovers a second validation value associated with the content distribution, compares the first validation value and the second validation value, and determines if the payload has been tampered with. | 11-05-2009 |

20090207603 | Retrofit Light Assembly - Retrofit systems for replacing the outdated components of an existing light fixture. The retrofit systems may utilize the previously installed housing of the existing light fixture. The retrofit systems include brackets that are positioned on the ends of the housing. The positioning of the brackets is based off of the ceiling, t-grid, or the bottom of the housing. Lamp sockets with associated lamps, an optional ballast tray with associated ballast, reflector(s), lamps, and a shielding mechanism are all mounted on, and their position in the housing dictated by, the mounting brackets. Thus, regardless of the depth of the housing, the lamps are positioned a uniform distance from the ceiling opening to create consistent light distribution. Moreover, because these components are not directly attached to the housing, their dimensions need not precisely match those of the housing. Rather, the retrofit system can be installed in housings of varying sizes and shapes. | 08-20-2009 |
20090244908 | Louver for Light Assembly - A louver to distribute light emitted by a light fixture. A frame is formed integrally with the exterior housing of the louver. The integral frame eliminates the need for a separate louver door frame which has traditionally been used to mount a louver within a light fixture. The exterior housing may be formed from end blades and side stringers. A flange may provide additional support for the integral frame of the louver. Mounting means may be positioned and oriented on the end blades of the exterior of the housing. The mounting means may include hinges that interact with the light fixture housing or other mounting apparatuses. Additional securing means may be associated with the end blades of the louver for securing the louver in the proper orientation relative to the light fixture housing. | 10-01-2009 |
20090244912 | Mounting System - A mounting system for a member to a support structure. The member includes ends and sides. A hinge may be attached to one of the ends of the member. Hinges may be attached to both ends along the same side of the member. The hinge may include an arm from which a tab extends. The ends may include securing means. The support structure includes a mounting aperture that is configured to interact with the hinge of the member. In some embodiments, the support structure may have multiple mounting apertures. The mounting aperture is configured to prevent the hinge of the member from disengaging from the support structure. In some embodiments, the mounting aperture is configured to pivotally retain the hinge of the member. | 10-01-2009 |
20090322250 | NETWORKED ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING WITH CUSTOMIZABLE COLOR ACCENTS - The present invention provides systems and apparatuses for dynamically controlling the operational modes of a single luminaire or a group of networked luminaires configured to deliver an illumination pattern having a decorative colored glow surrounding a central region of substantially uniform brightness. A control module for the luminaire is configured to drive three dimmable fluorescent ballasts, as well as a LED module. A variety of operational modes including different schemes for color mixing and color cycle control can be selected by a user and implemented by a microcontroller. A group of luminaires is connected in a standard communication protocol-based master-slave configuration, where the slave units respond to commands received from the master unit, and the last slave unit automatically engages terminating and biasing resistors for proper operation of the network. | 12-31-2009 |
20100149791 | SURFACE MOUNTED LIGHTING FIXTURE - Surface mounted lighting fixtures having a troffer channel and a frame that extends around the troffer channel. The troffer channel includes a top wall and side walls. To impart a “back” to the fixture, the troffer channel is positioned in the frame so that the upper surface of the lighting fixture is defined by the top wall of the troffer channel and so that the fixture is mounted to a ceiling via the top wall of the troffer channel. The side walls of the troffer channel are preferably angled relative to the top wall to reflect light out of the fixture as desired. Tie brackets, lamp holder brackets, electrical components, and traditional louvers and lensed door components may be supported by the lighting fixture. An installation bracket may be provided to facilitate installation of the lighting fixture. Such brackets may be mounted to the ceiling and used to suspend the fixture to allow the installer to perform the necessary wiring and other preparation work prior to securing the fixture directly to the ceiling via the troffer channel. | 06-17-2010 |
20130220661 | ELECTRICAL DEVICE POWERED THROUGH NEUTRAL OR GROUND - An electrical device is provided that can selectively be powered through a neutral wire or an earth ground. The electrical device includes a line terminal, a neutral terminal, a ground terminal, and a selection mechanism. The line terminal is electrically connected to at least one load. The line terminal can be electrically connected to a line (or “hot”) wire. The neutral terminal is electrically connected to the at least one load. The neutral terminal can be electrically connected to the neutral wire. A first electrical path is provided from the line terminal through the at least one load to the neutral terminal. The ground terminal can conduct current to the earth ground. The selection can selectively provide a second electrical path from the neutral terminal to the earth ground via the ground terminal. | 08-29-2013 |
20140062338 | Lighting Control Device - A lighting control device can include a control module and a processing module. The control module can provide a driving signal. The driving signal can modify a control voltage on a control interface. The control voltage can control a controllable ballast or driver. The processing module can determine a duty cycle of the driving signal. The control module and the processing module can receive power via the control interface and a power supply on the control device. | 03-06-2014 |
