International Classification:

G08B 1/08

US Classification:

340534, 34031011

Abstract:

A system and method for implementing an LED-based luminaire () incorporates one or more color channels (-). The luminaire includes a controller () that uses optical sensing and feedback to control LEDs (A) in each channel to deliver a consistent intensity and/or color output. The optical feedback loop may provide measured intensity and/or color of the luminaire's output to the luminaire controller. The controller may then adjust the current, pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycle, or both, which are delivered to discrete color channels of the luminaire to obtain the desired intensity and/or color.

Abstract:

A solid-state light emitting device strip lighting system. The system includes an elongated fixture, a reflector, and a strip including a plurality of solid-state light emitting devices electrically connected in series disposed along the fixture. A heat sink and/or the reflector is formed as an integral part of the elongated fixture. In one aspect of the invention, a beam angle of the plurality of light emitting devices perpendicular to the long axis of the elongated fixture is adjustable by varying the height of the strip containing the devices. In an additional aspect of the invention, at least one end cap is connected to the strip containing the devices in such a way that an external power converter and/or controller may be connected to the end cap to power and/or control the devices. These strip lights are daisy chainable in series, eliminating the need for multiple drops of AC supply wiring.

International Classification:

B60T 13/74

US Classification:

303 20, 188158

Abstract:

A brake system of a vehicle includes a plurality of electromechanical brake actuators (EBAs) proximate the wheels of the vehicle. Each EBA includes a power device for effectuating braking of an associated wheel, and electronics to generate a drive signal for the power device. The brake system may further include at least one brake control unit (BCU) for converting a brake command signal into a control signal for each EBA. The electronics for each EBA may be configured to convert the corresponding control signal into the drive signal that is applied to the power device to cause movement of the power device and effectuate braking of the vehicle.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

710009000

Abstract:

Systems and methods for assigning addresses to one or more components, such as luminaires, in a network. In one example the luminaires include one or more lamp sub-modules. An example method sends an address command from a master control unit to all luminaires over a communication broadcast databus, and switches the one or more luminaires to an addressing mode of operation based on the sent address command. A token signal is sent on a second serial databus to the one or more luminaires and address information is sent on the communication databus. The address information is recorded at the one or more luminaires based on the received token signal. Addresses are automatically assigned to the associated lamp sub-modules based on physical location and the recorded address information and assigned lamp sub-module addresses are sent to the master control unit. The sent address information and lamp sub-module addresses are saved.

US Classification:

188 111E, 188106 P, 701 70

Abstract:

A system for electrical braking of a vehicle comprises a power bus coupled to a first driver associated with a first electromechanical actuator (EMA). The power bus is also coupled to a second driver associated with a second EMA, and the first EMA and the second EMA are associated with a wheel of the vehicle. The power bus provides braking power to the first EMA via the first driver and to the second EMA via the second driver. A normal braking command interface provides a first braking signal to the first driver and a second braking signal to the second driver. An emergency/park brake interface bypasses the normal braking command interface and sends a first emergency/park braking signal to the first driver and a second emergency/park braking signal to the second driver. A sensor measures a current at a single location of the power bus that is proportional to a braking force exerted on the wheel.

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing a sealed circuit card assembly includes disposing a circuit card assembly within a volume defined by a housing and at least partially filling the volume with a curable liquid such that the curable liquid encapsulates at least a circuit card. The method may also include curing the curable liquid to form a potted circuit card assembly and, after at least partially filling the volume with the curable liquid and after curing the curable liquid, vacuum impregnating the potted circuit card assembly with a sealant to seal any exposed interfaces or cracks to form the sealed circuit card assembly. Accordingly, the sealed circuit card assembly may include a first cured material encapsulating the circuit card of the circuit card assembly and a second cured material disposed within, for example, a porosity of the first cured material.
