A luminaire with a removable rail is disclosed. The luminaire can be powered with power provided by a power over Ethernet (PoE) solution. The rail can include a sensor that can provide feedback to the luminaire. The sensor can detect ambient information. A controller can modify output of the luminaire based on sensed information.

Luminaire

Depicted embodiments are directed to an Application Specific Electronics Packaging ('ASEP') system, which enables the manufacture of additional products using reel to reel () manufacturing processes as opposed to the 'batch' processes used to currently manufacture electronic products and MIDs. Through certain ASEP embodiments, it is possible to integrate connectors, sensors, LEDs, thermal management, antennas, RFID devices, microprocessors, memory, impedance control, and multi-layer functionality directly into a product.

Application specific electronics packaging systems, methods and devices

In an embodiment, a luminaire includes a housing with a reflector. A rail is positioned near the reflector and has a light thereon which is configured to emit light into the reflector. The light is reflected from the reflector and passes through a diffuser that can act to ensure the emitted light is desirably defuse. In an embodiment, the diffuser can be removed from the housing for service or replacement.

A luminaire with a removable rail is disclosed. The luminaire can be powered with power provided by a power over Ethernet (POE) solution.

A connector includes a housing that supports a core (which can be magnetic) and provides an inner channel. A power terminal is positioned in the inner channel and provides an electrical path between two opposite sides of the housing. The housing further support a sensor that is positioned in a gap in the core. The housing provides electrical isolation between the core and the power terminal. The connector can therefore provide both a power terminal and the ability to sense current in an integrated design.

Connector with sensor

An insulated frame unit for enclosing a wall to provide a highly insulated and airtight wall is provided. The frame unit includes a panel that is formed from a rigid insulated composition such as an expanded foam composition. The panels can be mounted to a wall frame in rows and columns to enclose the wall, and may include outwardly extending flanges that can cooperate with a flange of an adjacent frame unit to provide a stud-receiving opening into which a stud is inserted when mounting the frame units to the frame of the building. The frame unit is mountable to the frame with the interior side of the stud extending from the inner side of the frame unit so that adequate space is provided between the inner side of the frame unit and an interior finish member mounted to the interior side of the studs.

Frame unit and method

An antenna system utilizing a pair of antenna modules each having an antenna and a dielectric frame embracing the antenna. A complementary interengaging structure is provided between the frames of the pair of antenna modules to hold the modules together and to maintain the respective pair of antennas in a predetermined relative orientation. The attachment structure is on exterior walls of the frames, whereby the walls and attachment structure provide a dual function of an isolation barrier between the antennas.

Modular bi-polarized antenna

An electrical connector is provided with an integral switch. The connector includes a dielectric housing having a mating end. A fixed switch contact is immovably mounted on the housing. A movable switch contact is mounted on the housing and includes a contact portion movable into and out of switching engagement with the fixed switch contact. The movable switch contact includes a movable terminal portion at the mating end of the housing for engaging an appropriate terminal of a complementary mating connector. The movable terminal portion is integral with the contact portion for moving the contact portion relative to the fixed switch contact in response to mating of the connectors.

Electrical connector with an internal switch

A modular connector includes at least a pair of dielectric housing modules defining at least one conductor-receiving passage therebetween. The passage is split axially whereby a passage portion is disposed in each housing module. The housing modules are plated with conductive shielding material at least in the area of the split passage. A conductor, for example, a coaxial cable section or a differential signal pair, surrounding by a dielectric sheath is disposed in the conductor-receiving passage.

Modular shielded connector

A modular shielded coaxial cable connector includes at least a pair of dielectric housing modules defining at least one cable-receiving passage therebetween. The passage is split axially whereby a passage portion is disposed in each housing module. The housing modules are plated with conductive shielding material at least in the area of the split passage. A coaxial cable section is disposed in the cable-receiving passage. The cable section includes a conductive core surrounded by a dielectric sheath.

Modular shielded coaxial cable connector

An antenna structure and assembly are provided, along with a method of fabricating the same. The antenna structure is formed by molding a plateable plastic antenna element in the desired shape of the antenna structure. The molded antenna element is plated substantially entirely thereabout with a conductive metal material. The antenna assembly includes the molded and plated antenna structure attached to a dielectric base structure adapted for mounting on an appropriate support such as a printed circuit board. A contact spring clip is interengaged between the antenna structure and the circuit board.
