The invention provides a light management information system for an outdoor lighting network system, having a plurality of outdoor light units each including at least one sensor type, where each of the light units communicates with at least one other light unit, at least one user input/output device in communication with at one or more of said outdoor light units, a central management system in communication with light units, said central management system sends control commands and/or information to one or more of said outdoor light units, in response to received outdoor light unit status/sensor information from one or more of said outdoor light units or received user information requests from said user input/output device, a resource server in communication with said central management system, wherein the central management system uses the light unit status/sensor information and resources from the resource server to provide information to the user input/output device and/or reconfigure one or more of the lights units.

Methods and apparatus for information management and control of outdoor lighting networks

A loading assembly includes a base plate configured to support a circuit board placed thereon, a pressing plate configured to press an electrical member on the circuit board, and a first connection assembly connecting the pressing plate to the base plate and pressing the electrical member on the circuit board through the pressing plate. The first connection assembly includes a first nut fixed on the base plate, a first bolt passing through the pressing plate and screwed to the first nut, and a first spring sleeved on the first bolt and compressed between a head of the first bolt and the pressing plate. A first locking part is formed on the first bolt. The first locking part is pressed against an end face of the first nut when the first bolt is screwed to an installation position to prevent the first bolt from being rotated relative to the first nut.

A method () for enabling self-coexistence of devices in a flexible wireless system () that includes first and second wireless networks sharing a frequency band. The method includes discovering a second device operable in the second wireless network that overlaps with the first wireless network (S); reporting the discovered second device to a first device operable in the first wireless network (S); determining if an adjustment is needed between a first beacon period of the first device and a second beacon period of the second device (S); and adjusting a first beacon period start time (BPST) of the first device with a second BPST of the second device (S) if the adjustment is needed.

Self-coexistence of devices in a flexible wireless system including two or more wireless networks that share a frequency band

The present invention relates to a method for improving the heterologous synthesis of a polyketide byand use thereof. The yield of the polyketide heterologously synthesized byis significantly increased by attenuating the expression of seventy-two genes, such as sucC and talB, in a host strain, wherein the highest yield increase rate can reach 60% or more. Currently, erythromycin is the most clear model compound in the study on the biosynthesis of polyketids. The production strain of the present invention enables massive accumulation of 6-deoxyerythronolide (6-dEB), an erythromycin precursor, in the fermentation process, laying the foundation for the industrial production of the heterologous synthesis of erythromycin by

A system for guiding a driver of a vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises a light sensor configured to detect light; and a processor configured to determine a position of vehicle on a roadway based on a characteristic of the detected light.

Vehicle positioning and guidance system

A system and method for maintaining a system configuration to provide desired system performance is disclosed. The system comprises a processing unit receiving sensor data associated with environmental conditions within an area, generating a map of the area based on the received sensor data, determining a change in the map of the area and determining at least one system commissioning parameter associated with the determined change in the map to compensate for or correct the change in the map. In one aspect of the invention, the sensor data is provided through a plurality of mobile devices.

System and method for maintaining building automation system performance

This invention describes a system and method to provide a service to advertisers and businesses that enables adaptation of advertising priorities using information collected by a lighting infrastructure. The system uses outdoor lighting networks to manage/control data sensors connected to a network, e.g. hosted at lighting units. This invention enables new business scenarios where operators and/or owners of the city's lighting infrastructure can provide a value added service or generate revenue from ad providers and local businesses by leveraging the data acquired through the lighting and adjacent infrastructure (e.g. sensors) to help the businesses to increase their advertising performance/targets; particularly, with respect to Location Based Services (LBS).

Targeted content delivery using outdoor lighting networks (OLNs)

Obtaining a target location of a user associated with a body worn device () that receiving information related to a condition of user and communicates an indication of the condition to a server () over a network (). The method including: providing a network () formed of a plurality of lighting units () and a database () for maintaining information describing a geographic location of each of the plurality of lighting units, each lighting unit transmitting a unique identifier; providing the body worn device with a lighting unit identifier sensor (), the sensor receiving lighting unit identifiers of at least one of the plurality of lighting units; the body worn device communicating the received lighting unit identifiers with the indication in a message to the server via the network; and the database providing a geographic location of the one or more lighting units, the geographic location corresponding to the target location of the body worn device.

Emergency response and tracking using lighting networks

A system and methods to provide imaging service using outdoor lighting networks. The system uses outdoor lighting networks to manage/control video/image sensors connected to the network, e.g. hosted at lighting units, and coordinates the capture of useful video/image data associated with events. The system also provides an information search platform for users to retrieve only the relevant video/image data associated with events of interest. Furthermore, the system controls when and how to retrieve video/image data at lighting units across the whole network according to user requests, the priority of the events, and available bandwidth.

Imaging service using outdoor lighting networks

An infrared (IR) emission and reception circuit, which is composed of three parts, an IR transceiver circuit, a carrier-smoothed circuit, and a signal recognition circuit. The IR transceiver circuit receives an outside IR signal, converts it to an electrical signal, and then amplifies and shapes the electrical signal to form a carrier frequency read signal; the IR transceiver circuit also emits an IR signal outward. The carrier-smoothed circuit receives the carrier frequency read signal, filters out the carrier to form a carrier-smoothed signal, and outputs it to the signal recognition circuit. The signal recognition circuit receives the carrier-smoothed signal, and converts it to an IR recognition signal to output to the electronic-device processor. The electronic-device processor receives the carrier frequency read signal to recognize the carrier frequency of the outside IR signal, and also receives the IR recognition signal to learn IR control codes of the outside IR signal.
