A low-profile track system includes low-profile joiner components or devices that releasably couple and electrically connect track segments together. In one example, the joiner device includes a protruding portion configured to fit within corresponding cavity of a receptacle at the end of a track segment. To maintain a low profile, the joiner device can include joiner contacts that exert an outward lateral force that engages with corresponding receptacle contacts disposed in the cavity of the receptacle. The joiner device further includes a secondary or complimentary fastener or connector associated with the protruding portion that releasably engages a corresponding fastener disposed in the cavity of the receptacle, where the complimentary fastener and exerts a force in a direction orthogonal to the outward lateral force.

A system and method for disinfecting hard surfaces in an area such as a hospital room including a light source emitting UV light and a reflector mounted behind the light source for concentrating and directing the light toward a target. The light source and reflector rotate to direct the concentrated beam around a room, thereby making more efficient use of the energy being emitted.

A track lighting device includes a clamp assembly having a dual engagement mechanism for coupling to a track. For example, the clamp assembly includes a collar rotatable about a collar axis, and a cam follower having a cam-pin received by a first groove of a cam. The cam also includes a second groove and a first engagement member. The first groove translates a rotational movement of the collar and the cam follower into a linear movement along the collar axis to releasably couple the first engagement member to the track. The clamp assembly also includes a latch assembly having a second engagement member and a latch-pin in communication with the second groove of the cam. At least a portion of the latch assembly pivots about a latch axis based on movement of the latch-pin relative to the second groove to couple the second engagement member to the track.

A flat and detachable electrical connection system between a flat lighting module and a lampholder is described. The flat lighting module comprises a lighting panel, control circuitry for controlling the lighting panel, and electrical contact pads connected to the control circuitry, all supported at least in part by a mechanical support plate; the mechanical support plate being at least partially enclosed in a housing with a provision or opening so that light can be emitted from the lighting panel; and where the mechanical support plate includes a male mechanical support connector section that extends out from the mechanical support plate in the same plane as the thickness of the lighting module; and where the male mechanical support connector section includes means for non-permanent locking or latching of the lighting module to the lampholder. The lampholder comprises a female mechanical connector into which the male mechanical support connector section of the lighting module engages and which includes means for non-permanent locking or latching of the male mechanical support connector section of the lighting module; and a male electrical extension that extends out from the female mechanical connector and which engages the electrical contact pads in the lighting module to supply electrical power or communication signals or both to the control circuitry when the lighting module and lampholder are connected. The lighting panel may be LED or OLED and the electrical connection system may be used in a luminaire or lamp.

A wearable electric field detector configured to be worn by a wearer in an environment includes inner and outer housings which are movable relative to each other between a closed position and an open position. When in the closed position, a body of the inner housing is concealed within the outer housing, and when in the open position, the body is partially visible to visually indicate that the detector is open. The detector includes field detection circuitry which is configured to detect voltage in an electric field in the environment around the wearer. The circuitry is in communication with at least one of a speaker and a light source which are configured to be activated by the field detection circuitry.

Wearable electric field detector

A light distribution apparatus for a light fixture includes an input coupler at a first end, at least one curvilinear waveguide extending between the first end and a second end, and a respective set of extraction features formed along the surface of the curvilinear waveguide. The input coupler may be positioned about a light source and direct light emitted therefrom into the pair of curvilinear waveguide. The curvilinear waveguide may transmit light from the input coupler toward the second end through total internal reflection. The extraction features cause light incident thereon to refract and exit the waveguide. The example light distribution apparatus may convey light from one or more light sources to one or more otherwise poorly lit regions of a light fixture, to provide enhanced aesthetics, without adding supplemental light sources or adversely compromising the design and structure of a light fixture.

A body support structure includes a base and a cushion moveable between a seating configuration and a sleeping configuration. The cushion may include foldable first and second sections. In one embodiment, a spacer includes first and second support surfaces, and is pivotal between an upright position, wherein the first support surface engages and supports the cushion in the seating configuration, and a down position, wherein the second support surface engages and supports the cushion in the sleeping configuration. Methods of reconfiguring a body support structure are also provided.

Aspects of this invention relate to a system that provides an illuminated feature for an LED luminaire that can be used with opposite linear runs of LEDs to light the edges or sides of a luminaire without requiring additional LEDs. The system may include a light guide assembly located along an end housing of a light fixture, the light guide assembly including a light guide with a light guide end located proximate to one or more captured LEDs from a first plurality of LEDs located along a first side housing of the light fixture, and another light guide end located proximate to one or more captured LEDs from a second plurality of LEDs located along a second side housing of the light fixture, wherein the light guide receives the light from the one or more captured LEDs from the first plurality of LEDs and the one or more captured LEDs from the second plurality of LEDs and projects the light through the light guide, wherein when covered by a lens, the light emitted from the light guide is equivalent in appearance to the light emitted from the first plurality of LEDs and the second plurality of LEDs.
