    Abstract: An ultraviolet (“UV”) emission device may emit energy towards a movable surface of a conveyor system, A housing of the UV emission device may attach to a frame of the conveyor system. A lateral edge of the housing may extend across the moveable surface. The housing and a portion of the moveable surface may be inclined with respect to the frame. A barrier bracket of the UV emission device may support an absorptive barrier along the lateral edge, the absorptive barrier configured to contact the moveable surface. In a first position of the barrier bracket, the absorptive barrier contacts the moveable surface and the barrier bracket activates an interlock switch. In a second position of the barrier bracket, the barrier bracket deactivates the interlock switch. Responsive to deactivation of the interlock switch, a controller may provide a control signal to decrease power to the UV energy emission element.

    Abstract: An example control system includes a set of light fixtures connected to a hub, where each light fixture includes a hub-communication device configured to communicate with the hub and a direct communication device configured to communicate directly with other light fixtures. Together, the light fixtures form a mesh network facilitated by the use of their direct communication devices. An external device communicates an instruction to a light fixture, and the instruction is propagated throughout the mesh network through communications among the light fixtures using their respective direct communication devices. As a result, each light fixture to which the instruction applies receives and complies with the instructions. The light fixtures are also configured to receive instructions from the hub, such that a light fixture is configured to receive instructions over dual networks.

    Abstract: A lighting fixture for powering multiple LED groups to generate a selectable color temperature. The lighting fixture provides varying amounts of power to each group of LEDs to achieve a selected color temperature. Current from a driver may be divided between the LED groups based on a selected operational state, which is selected using a switch or other configurable input. The operational states may turn the LED groups on or off or may control an amount of current received by the LED groups. In some configurations, all of the LED groups are always at least partially powered.

    Abstract: An example of a light fixture is configured to receive, manually or wirelessly from and external device, an instruction to update a setting of the light fixture to a selected intensity or a selected color temperature. An instruction received from the external device may override an instruction provided via manual control. The light fixture may include a set of cool light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a set of warm LEDs. A processing unit of the light fixture may utilize pulse-width modulation to cause the light fixture to emit light having the selected intensity or selected color temperature by implementing a particular duty cycle of a control signal for the cool LEDs and a particular duty cycle of a control signal for the warm LEDs corresponding to the selected intensity or selected color temperature.

    Abstract: A light fixture includes a housing containing a light engine, and a wireless baffle module. The wireless baffle module includes a baffle coupled to the housing and used for focusing light emitted from the light engine. The wireless baffle module further includes a wireless printed circuit board assembly coupled to an antenna. The wireless printed circuit board assembly receives and processes wireless signals from the antenna, and sends control signals to the light engine based on the wireless signals. The wireless baffle module may be coupled to a lighting system with an existing non-wireless module, or be used to replace a wireless baffle module with the same or different wireless protocol.
