Abstract: Described herein is a compact combined active and passive cooling system to cool electronic audio-video circuitry, wherein all of the AV circuitry and cooling system fits within an enclosure that can be installed in a standard wall gang-box located in interior walls of structures. The combined active and passive cooling system uses convection, conduction, and radiation in active and passive cooling modes to dissipate heat generated by the AV circuitry into the room in which the gang box is located, and further uses the wall plate surface to dissipate heat into the room.

Abstract: Apparatus, system, and method for automatic dimming and color temperature adjusting backlight LEDs of wall mounted control device buttons. The control device comprises a memory that stores a plurality of lighting load states each associated with an intensity level and at least one controller that controls an operation of an associated electrical load. In response to receiving a selected lighting load state, the at least one controller determines an intensity level associated with the received lighting load state. The at least one controller drives the at least one LED at the determined intensity level and a target color temperature level. The target color temperature level may be determined using a color temperature curve or an association between lighting load states and color temperature levels.

Abstract: Apparatus, system, and method for automatic dimming and color temperature adjusting backlight LEDs of wall mounted control device buttons. The control device comprises a light sensor, memory, and at least one controller that controls an operation of an associated electrical load. The memory stores a dimming curve represented by a relationship between light level readings and intensity levels wherein the intensity levels increase as the light level readings increase. In response to receiving a light level reading from the light sensor, the at least one controller determines an intensity level using the received light level reading and the dimming curve. The at least one controller drives the LEDs at the determined intensity level and at a target color temperature level determined using a time of day indication and a color temperature curve represented by a relationship between color temperature levels and time of day indications.

Abstract: An electronic connector includes a rigid central region and at least one branch that extends away from the rigid central region. A flexible part is disposed at one end of the at least one branch and adjacent to the rigid central region. A conductor terminal is located at an opposing end of the at least one branch. A rigid part is disposed between the flexible part and the conductor terminal. At least one flexible element is disposed adjacent to one surface of the flexible part. The flexible part of the at least one branch and the at least one flexible element combine to permit the at least one branch to be both (i) sufficiently flexible to permit the at least one branch to be bent, and (ii) sufficiently rigid to permit the at least one branch to subsequently return to its original shape.

Abstract: A hem bar assembly that secures to a shade material of a roller shade comprising first and second hem bar portions each including an inner face having a first channel, a second channel, and third channel located between the first and second channels. The hem bar assembly further comprises at least one tubular spline that wedges and retains the shade material within one of the first channel and the second channel of one of the first and second hem bar portions. The hem bar assembly further comprises a longitudinal retaining clip having at least a pair of oppositely disposed hooked arms outwardly extending therefrom, wherein each hooked arm is adapted to enter and clip to one of the third channels in a respective first and second hem bar portions to attach the first hem bar portion to the second hem bar portion.

Abstract: An apparatus cools electronic circuitry. An enclosure surrounds the circuitry. Air intake holes are in an upper portion of a first panel that faces a first direction. Air exhaust holes are in an upper portion of a second panel that faces a second direction opposite the first. Air plenum piece is disposed within the enclosure, and a substantially planar portion extends from a first panel inner wall and ends a distance from a second panel inner wall. At least one tab extends from the substantially planar portion to an upper panel inner wall. The air plenum piece divides an enclosure interior into a first volume, enclosed by the first panel inner wall, substantially planar portion, at least one tab, and upper panel inner wall, into which the air intake holes open and a second volume into which the air exhaust holes open. The second volume is a remaining interior volume.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for an automatic dimming and color temperature adjusting backlight LEDs of wall mounted control device buttons. The control device comprises a light sensor, a memory, and a controller adapted to control an operation of an associated electrical load. The light sensor detects light levels in a space where the control device is installed and outputs light level readings. The memory stores a color temperature curve represented by a relationship between light level readings and color temperatures. In response to receiving a light level reading from the light sensor, the controller determines a color temperature level using the received light level reading and the color temperature curve, and drives the at least one LED at the determined color temperature level.
