    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for projecting visible cues to assist with light-based communication (LCom), the visible cues referred to herein as visual hotspots. The visual hotspots can be projected, for example, using a luminaire that may be LCom-enabled. The visual hotspots may be projected onto the floor of an area including an LCom system. The visual hotspots can be used for numerous benefits, including alerting a potential user that LCom is available, educating the user about LCom technology, and assisting the user in using the LCom signals available in the area. The visual hotspots may include images, symbols, cues, characters (e.g., letters, words, numbers, etc.), indicators, logos, or any other suitable content. In some cases, the visual hotspots may be interactive, such that a user can scan the hotspot to cause an action to occur (e.g., launch an application or website).

    Abstract: Active proximity based wireless network commissioning is provided. Routers and end devices are placed in a default mode before commissioning such that the devices are communicative but do not transmit join requests. A commissioning device is positioned at a selected location and transmits a wireless beacon request that is received by devices within a limited range. Routers, end devices and coordinator devices within range send response beacons. The response beacons are used by the commissioning device to discover devices and select network parameters for the discovered devices. The commissioning device uses the parameters to prompt the coordinator device to form a network and prompt the qualified device to enter a pending mode and join the network.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing an adaptive and scalable output drive current by a lighting driver, which helps mitigate issues related to binning of solid state light sources. The disclosed techniques may be implemented, for example, with the use of header pins and one or more jumpers or so-called shunt connectors. This allows for a given driver with a constant current output to provide any number of desired output drive currents on demand, by switching and/or adding and/or removing one or more shunt connectors across the appropriate header pins. The header may include any number of pin-pairs, with each pin-pair capable of receiving a shunt connector. Any number of driver topologies may be implemented with the header, such as flyback, buck, boost, buck-boost, and variants thereof.
