20090208333 | Ceiling Fan System with Brushless Motor - A fan system includes a motor, a rotatable hub, and a plurality of fan blades. The motor is coupled with the hub by a hollow drive shaft, such that the drive system of the fan system is gearless. The motor is controlled by a PFC-based control module, which is in communication with sensors that are configured to sense parameters associated with operation of the fan system. The control module is configured to react in certain ways to certain conditions detected by the sensors, such that the fan system uses feedback-based control algorithms. A remote control panel is in communication with the control module. The remote control panel is operable to display fault conditions detected by the sensors. Blade retainers prevent fan blades from falling when a fan blade breaks free from the hub. Pins prevent the hub from falling when the hub breaks free from the rotor. | 08-20-2009 |

20110007500 | APPARATUS FOR A SOLAR WINDOW NIGHTLIGHT - An apparatus for a solar window nightlight includes at least one battery contained within a circuit housing. Solar panels are disposed on an outside surface of the circuit housing for charging the battery. Control circuitry connects the battery, the solar panels and LED lights to control operations of the LED lights and charging of the at least one battery. A photocell is connected to the control circuitry where when ambient light falls below a predetermined level, the control circuitry activates the LED lights. Translucent lenses include a bore hole in a base for receiving one of the LED lights and reflective material on outside edges. Suction cups retain the apparatus on a window surface where, during day light hours, there is sufficient ambient light to charge the battery and, during night hours, the translucent lenses illuminate a desired area. | 01-13-2011 |

20080227041 | LOG SETS AND LIGHTING DEVICES THEREFOR - In certain embodiments, a log assembly includes one or more substantially noncombustible logs. The assembly can include a frame configured to support at least one of the logs. The frame can include a base portion configured to rest on a floor. The base portion can define a lower spatial extent of the assembly. In some embodiments, the log assembly includes a burner coupled with the frame. The burner can be configured to produce a flame. The assembly can include a fuel delivery system substantially above the lower spatial extent defined by the base portion of the frame. The system can be configured to receive fuel from a fuel source and to supply fuel to the burner. The log assembly can include a lighting housing coupled with the frame, with substantially all of the lighting housing above the lower spatial extent defined by the base portion of the frame. One or more light sources can be coupled with the lighting housing. | 09-18-2008 |
