Abstract:
A linear LED light module and system includes a heat sink, a printed circuit board, a plurality of LEDs, a power supply housing, a flexible electrical conductor, a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector, and a power supply. The heat sink is elongated in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis that is parallel with a greatest dimension of the heat sink. The PCB is in thermal communication with the heat sink and includes circuitry. The plurality of LEDs mount to the PCB and are in electrical communication with the circuitry of the PCB. The power supply housing connects to the heat sink. The flexible electrical conductor includes at least two wires that are configured to accommodate an AC line voltage of at least 120 VAC. The first electrical connector is at a first end of the electrical conductor. The second electrical connector is at a second end of the electrical conductor. The second connector has a configuration that complements the first connector so that the second connector can connect to an associated adjacent first connector of an associated adjacent LED module to allow a plurality of similar LED modules to be mechanically and electrically connected to one another. The power supply is disposed in the power supply housing and in electrical communication with the circuitry of the PCB and the electrical conductor. The power supply is configured to receive the AC line voltage from the electrical conductor and to convert the received AC line voltage to a lower DC voltage for delivery to the circuitry of the PCB to drive the LEDs mounted on the PCB.

Abstract:
A toy vehicle includes a body supported by a plurality of wheels. The body also includes a roof and rear window supporting a plurality of user inputs. Within the toy vehicle body, a microprocessor controlled drive and steering mechanism is operative. The operation of the microprocessor is set by the user inputs. The body further supports a movable bumper mouth and movable eyes and eyebrows behind the windshield.
Abstract:
A spiral stunt device includes a supporting frame having an upper cross member which in turn defines a helical thread. A traveler engages the helical thread of the upper support and further supports a pendulum segment. The pendulum segment extends downwardly and terminates in a toy vehicle receiver or “caddy”. A first track segment is directed toward one side of the spiral stunt device which a second track segment is directed toward an offset portion of the stunt device. As a toy vehicle enters the stunt device with substantial energy, it is captivated by the toy vehicle receiver. As the energy of the captivated toy vehicle is transferred to the receiver and its pendulum support, the receiver together with the toy vehicle and the pendulum support are caused to rotate about the horizontal member advancing the traveler on the helical threads. The resulting lateral movement of the traveler upon the helical thread aligns the toy vehicle receiver with the offset track segment. Thereafter, the toy vehicle departs the receiver and travels down the offset track segment.
Abstract:
A plurality of stunt devices are used within a toy vehicle trackset. Each of the devices includes a movable portion within the toy vehicle travel path. Each movable portion is moved by a pneumatic actuator. A manually operated air bellows is coupled to each pneumatic actuator by a hollow tube. When a particular air bellows is compressed, the corresponding actuator moves the movable portion diverting the toy vehicle on the stunt device.
Abstract:
A heat dissipating lamp is provided. The lamp includes a reflector, a lens cover, a support structure interposed between the reflector and the lens cover, and an LED mounted to the support structure. The lens cover includes a portion adjacent a peripheral edge of the reflector. The support structure includes a bridge.
Abstract:
A lighting apparatus for creating a substantially homogenous lit appearance along the length of the apparatus is provided. The lighting apparatus includes an elongated envelope, an LED mounted in the elongated envelope, and a reflector. The elongated envelope includes a translucent portion. The reflector is positioned in relation to the LED such that the light emitted from the LED is directed toward the translucent portion of the elongated envelope and dispersed along the length of the lighting apparatus.
Abstract:
A GPS-based lighting system is provided. The lighting system includes at least one lighting fixture including a light source and a GPS microchip incorporated therein that is configured to detect the geographic location of the at least one lighting fixture, and a control capable of transmitting a signal comprising operating instructions to the at least one lighting fixture. The at least one lighting fixture is configured to respond to operating instructions specific to the geographic location of the at least one lighting fixture.
Abstract:
