| 20120120639 | Underwater lights for divers - An LED underwater light, which can be hand-held or mounted on an underwater camera housing, is switchable between two light modes. A first embodiment of the dive light is a focus light, used for initial focusing with a still underwater camera. Incorporated in the focus light is a red light source to which the focus light can be switched from initially projected white light. The switch is used to switch off a series of white LEDs while switching on a series of red LEDs. In a second embodiment, the dive light is a flood/spot light, and enables a diver to quickly switch between flood and spot beams, via separate LED arrays. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120133758 | Underwater camera control - A camera retained in a waterproof underwater housing is controlled remotely and conveniently by a diver holding a hand-held remote device. The device can be a removable handle on the underwater housing, communicating with the camera, usually a movie camera, by infrared or other wireless protocol. Key functional camera settings, which would normally require navigation through a menu tree with a series of steps and selections, are selected by a single press of a button on the hand-held device. An important example is white balance calibration, which typically must be reset for every five feet of depth change. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120140433 | Adjustable light for underwater photography - An underwater diving light has a rotatable front filter ring for selecting light filtration as needed for underwater still or video photography conditions. The filter ring is removable and interchangeable with different rings. Another important feature is efficient cooling of the LEDs and other internal electronics of the diving light assembly. The water is in contact with a metallic front face that conducts heat directly away from a metal core circuit board carrying the LED array or arrays. In one form of the diving light water channels are provided so that the ambient water can enter the assembly to spaces behind the LCD circuit board to efficiently cool the LEDs and associated electronics. The front plate assembly can be removable, for rinsing the internal cooling cavities, for interchange with different front face assemblies, and for air travel when the LCDs must be removed from driving electronics for safety concerns. | 06-07-2012 |
| 20120182748 | Portable light assembly - A portable light apparatus includes a light housing with a light source and a separate battery case connected to the light housing with a cable. The light apparatus can be configured and used in several different ways: as a miner light or flashlight, with the light housing secured to an end of the battery case via a snap-in connection; as a bicycle light, with the battery case secured to a handlebar stem and the light housing secured to the handlebar or stem; a helmet light, with the battery case attached at the back of the helmet and the light housing at front; and as a headstrap light, with the light housing attached to the headstrap at a front position and the battery casing at a different position, preferably at rear. Clips, brackets and straps are included for adapting the light and battery case to the various purposes, without tools. Preferably the light housing is capable of pivoting on a base, so the user can adjust aim of the light beam. | 07-19-2012 |

| 20120205973 | Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence Generation for Maximum Power Point Tracking in Photovoltaic Arrays - A converter unit configured to couple to a photovoltaic panel (PV) may include a controller to sense an input voltage and input current obtained from the photovoltaic panel, and manage the output voltage of a corresponding power converter coupled to a DC bus to regulate the resultant bus voltage to a point that reduces overall system losses, and removes non-idealities when the panels are series connected. The controller may also perform input voltage management and regulation, including maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the PV. The controller may probe the bus voltage using a probe waveform generated according to a pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS), to provide a probe signal that is distinct from the control steps performed by the controller. A PV array may feature a respective converter unit coupled to each PV, with each respective controller using a different and unique seed for generating its PRBS. | 08-16-2012 |
| 20120205974 | Regulation of Inverter DC Input Voltage in Photovoltaic Arrays - A converter unit configured to couple to a photovoltaic panel (PV) may include a controller to sense an output voltage and output current produced by the photovoltaic panel, and manage the output voltage of a corresponding power converter coupled to a DC bus to regulate the resultant bus voltage to a point that reduces overall system losses, and removes non-idealities when the panels are series connected. The controller may also adapt to output condition constraints, and perform a combination of input voltage and output voltage management and regulation, including maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the PV. The output voltage and output current characteristic of the power converter may be shaped to present a power gradient—which may be hysteretically controlled—to the DC bus to compel an inverter coupled to the DC bus to perform its own MPPT to hold the DC-bus voltage within a determinate desired operating range. | 08-16-2012 |
