Abstract:
A solid state lighting switch can include a first input control that can be configured to adjust a dimming indication or color indication for a solid state lighting fixture that is configured for coupling to the solid state lighting switch. A selective linking mechanism can be configured to activate a linked mode of operation of the switch to link the dimming indication to the color indication or to activate an unlinked mode of operation of the switch to unlink the dimming indication from the color indication.
Abstract:
A foldable display apparatus, a method of manufacturing the same, and a controlling method of the same are disclosed. The foldable display apparatus includes a substrate including a metal thin film and an insulating layer provided on the metal thin film, an organic light-emitting unit formed on the substrate and emitting light in an direction away from the substrate, and a thin film encapsulating layer for encapsulating the organic light-emitting unit. The foldable display apparatus may be folded in a direction such that the metal thin film is exposed.

Abstract:
The subject matter included in this disclosure can be embodied in a method that includes receiving information representative of a location and status of a streetlight included in a network of streetlights, and detecting, using a computing device, a fault condition of the streetlight, based on the status information. The method also includes determining, using the computing device, a corrective action to resolve the fault condition, and transmitting information related to the corrective action, including instructions for a human personnel to follow, for resolving the fault condition.
Abstract:
A lamp includes a lighting module providing illumination, a control unit, and a detecting unit. The control unit is connected or not connected to the lighting module. The detecting unit is coupled to the control unit. The detecting unit detects operational statuses of the lighting module and sends a detection result to the control unit. The control unit controls the lighting module or an alarm unit to enter an alarm mode based on the detection result. A user can immediately know the operational statuses by the alarm unit and take necessary actions to assure normal operation of the lamp.
Abstract:
Power is stored in a networked light allowing the networked light to send a message over the network providing information that the networked light is turning off if external power is no longer available.
Abstract:
A circuit is used to indicate different statuses of a component of a computer system. The circuit includes a port, an indicating device, and a control circuit. The port outputs different signals corresponding to different statuses of the component. The indicating device includes a first indicator and a second indicator each of which includes a positive end and a negative end. The positive end of the second indicator is connected to the negative end of the first indicator, and the negative end of the second indicator is connected to the positive end of the first indicator. The control circuit includes an input terminal, and a pair of output terminals connected to opposite ends of the first indicator. A polarity of an electric potential difference between the pair of output terminals is switched between negative and positive polarities according to the signal outputted by the port.
Abstract:
A system and method for generating white light involves using a combination of phosphor-converted white LEDs and non-phosphor-converted color LEDs to produce white light and adjusting the emitted light in response to feedback signals. Generating white light using a combination of phosphor-converted white LEDs and non-phosphor-converted color LEDs produces white light with an improved CRI and a wide SPD. Adjusting the emitted light in response to feedback allows luminance and chrominance characteristics of the white light to be controlled as the performance of the LEDs changes over time. The emitted light can be adjusted on a per-color basis and/or on a per-group basis, where a group of LEDs includes a combination of at least one phosphor-converted white LED and at least one non-phosphor-converted color LED.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a novel gauge lighting structure, mainly comprising the gauge panel, the lighting guide element and the lighting supply element. The gauge panel is very broadly used on the instrument cluster of the transportation vehicles. The gauge panel is an empty round housing with a glass pane mounted on the top for seeing through the signs or the record on the panel. The lighting guide element is a curve tube made of lighting sensitive material. The lighting supply element supplies the lighting from one end or two ends of the lighting guide tube. The lighting guide tube will absorb and transmit the lighting coming from the lighting supply and illuminate the inside of the gauge panel. The luminance of the lighting supply element is well controlled to regulate the sensitive lighting in the light guide tube to obtain clear signal signs and decorative blinking.
Abstract:
A nightlight and control unit comprises a nightlight housing including an illumination member and a control unit associated with the nightlight housing for regulating light in a light device connectable to the control unit. An input mechanism is provided for programming the control unit.
