Filed:

Dec 8, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/963038

Inventors:

Kenneth W. Kayser - Catawba VA, US

International Classification:

G03B 21/00
A01K 37/00

US Classification:

353 62, 119713

Abstract:

An apparatus for preventing bird collisions with a window including a UV light source, a mask, and a first lens configured to direct UV light from the UV light source through the mask. The mask is at least partially transparent to UV light and includes a pattern that is at least partially opaque to UV light. The UV light passing through the mask contains the pattern. The pattern-containing UV light is projected onto a pane of glass to form a UV image visible to birds corresponding to the pattern on the pane. The image is configured to deter birds from flying into the pane of glass.

US Classification:

705/026000

Abstract:

Linking the consumer to retailer pricing and database information creates a full-feature shopping tool. The Internet is used as a vehicle to enable customer access to portions of this information from any remotely located computer. Using software resident on the remote computer, the consumer may interact with the database through a Web service to check on product availability, identify item discounts, view promotional specials, access product information, price comparison shop, and plan their shopping visit to the store. The patented Display Edge Technology, Ltd. (DET) Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) System facilitates the Web service with access to the store database. In addition, the ESL system allows for the highlighting of special pricing or tier pricing utilizing display screen annunciators or light emitting devices.

International Classification:

G08B005/22

US Classification:

340815450, 340953000

Abstract:

A power supply for LED airfield lighting includes a regulated power supply having a power input, an LED control signal input, and a power output. The power input is configured to be connected to a power source, the LED control signal input is configured to receive an LED control signal, the power output is configured to supply an LED drive current to one or more of the LEDs, and the regulated power supply configured to adjust the LED drive current based upon the LED control signal. The regulated power supply also includes a processor having a current sense input and an LED control signal output connected to the LED control signal input of the regulated power supply. The current sense input is configured to receive a signal corresponding to an airfield current step. The processor is programmed to determine the LED control signal based upon the current sense input signal. The LED control signal is determined so as to enable the LEDs to have a relative intensity approximately equal to relative intensity of an incandescent light source driven at the airfield current step.

US Classification:

62 94, 621761, 62271

Abstract:

An energy recovery ventilator system includes a belt partially located in each of a first chamber and a second chamber. First and second desiccant units are positioned on the belt. At least some of the first desiccant units are in the first chamber at a first relative humidity, causing air received in the first chamber to achieve a first air humidity. At least some of the second desiccant units are in the second chamber at a second relative humidity, the second relative humidity being caused by the air received in the first chamber. The second relative humidity is modified to the first relative humidity by air passing through the second chamber, the air achieving a second air humidity. A controller causes the belt to move second desiccant units from the second chamber to the first chamber when the first air humidity fails to comply with a specific air humidity.

US Classification:

392449, 219494

Abstract:

A water heater system includes an intermediate water heater having a storage tank in which water is initially received at an initial temperature. The intermediate water heater is controllable to heat the water to an intermediate temperature that is higher than the initial temperature. The water heater system also includes at least one point-of-use water heater coupled to the intermediate water heater for receiving the water from the intermediate water heater after the water has been heated to the intermediate temperature. The point-of-use heater is controllable to heat the received water to a point-of-use temperature, the point-of-use temperature being higher than the intermediate temperature.
