Abstract:
The present disclosure features a dimming circuit connected to an AC line, comprising a dimming adjuster circuit, a dimming control circuit, and a transformer circuit. The dimming adjuster circuit comprises a dimming level adjuster and is configured to generate a tracking signal indicative of a setting of the dimming level adjuster. The dimming control circuit is coupled to the dimming adjuster circuit. The dimming control circuit is configured to receive the tracking signal and generate a dimming signal. The transformer circuit is coupled to the dimming control circuit. The transformer circuit is configured to receive the dimming signal and provide power to a lighting assembly in response to the dimming signal.
Abstract:
A powered room air purifier with a visual indicator of air quality, the visual indicator including: a reflector that defines a forwardly-open-ended reflecting cavity and that includes at least one through-opening in a floor or ceiling of the reflector; at least one diffuser layer that covers the forward opening of the forward-open-ended reflecting cavity; and, at least one LED light source that is positioned within the at least one through-opening, the LED light source and the reflector being configured so that the LED light source is shielded from line-of-sight view along a forward-rearward axis of the powered room air purifier.

Abstract:
A sound testing chamber comprises a sound proof enclosure, a speaker system and an electronic noise generator system. The speaker system is disposed within the sound proof enclosure. The electronic noise generator system is electronically coupled to the speaker system. The electronic noise generator system is configured to send a signal to the speaker system to generate a sound simulating a scenario where hearing protection is desirable. A method for testing hearing protection equipment using a noise simulating booth comprises: allowing a test subject to select a sound to be played by an electronic noise simulating system; positioning the test subject within a sound proof enclosure having speakers that generate the sound; positioning hearing protection equipment on the test subject; and playing the sound in the sound proof enclosure to permit the test subject to evaluate the hearing protection equipment.
Abstract:
A display system includes a reflective display panel and a light source tailored to enhance the color gamut of the system. The panel, which may be a Cholesteric liquid crystal display panel, includes an array of reflective pixels, each pixel comprising a first, second, and third subpixel of different first, second, and third colors. The light source illuminates a front of the display panel with source light to enable observers to view images formed by the panel. The light source includes a lamp and an enhancing element. The lamp, which may be a metal halide lamp, emits lamp light that includes the first, second, and third colors. The enhancing element may be an optical filter, a supplemental LED light source or other light source, or both. The enhancing element enhances the system color gamut, for example, by increasing the color gamut area relative to illumination with the lamp alone.
