Abstract: A wireless battery-powered daylight sensor for measuring a total light intensity in a space is operable to transmit wireless signals using a variable transmission rate that is dependent upon the total light intensity in the space. The sensor comprises a photosensitive circuit, a wireless transmitter for transmitting the wireless signals, a controller coupled to the photosensitive circuit and the wireless transmitter, and a battery for powering the photosensitive circuit, the wireless transmitter, and the controller. The photosensitive circuit is operable to generate a light intensity control signal in response to the total light intensity in the space. The controller transmits the wireless signals in response to the light intensity control signal using the variable transmission rate that is dependent upon the total light intensity in the space. The variable transmission rate may be dependent upon an amount of change of the total light intensity in the space. In addition, the variable transmission rate may be further dependent upon a rate of change of the total light intensity in the space.

Abstract: An aquarium photometer system includes a housing unit, an arm, and a mirror. The housing unit includes a light sensor configured to sense light incident on the light sensor and to convert the incident light to a signal. The housing unit also includes an operational amplifier including a first input node, a second input node, and an output node. The operational amplifier is configured to: receive the signal at the first input node, amplify a difference between the signal at the first input node and a signal at the second input node by a gain factor, and output the amplified signal on the output node. The housing unit also includes a potentiometer connected to the operational amplifier and configured to regulate the amplified signal; and a display connected to the potentiometer and configured to show an intensity of light detected by the light sensor based on the regulated amplified signal. The arm at a first end is connected to the housing unit and configured to move the housing unit around an aquarium case. The mirror is located on a bar and positioned within the aquarium in front of the light sensor and at a focal distance from the light sensor and configured to increase an amount of light incident on the light sensor.

Abstract: A low-voltage alternating current-based LED light with built-in cooling and automatic or manual dimming. As it is self-cooled with fan failure protection, the light can be safely run in conditions that are near-hostile to its operation, with little possibility of damage. The light is movable along the XY axes of a grid system and can be either fixed in position in the Z axis or can be movable up and down the Z axis. The light can be equipped with either manual dimming using a standard potentiometer, or with automatic dimming via sensors and local network connectivity. The device prevents line-voltage electric shocks as the input voltage is low-voltage AC; in embodiments, about the same voltage as a doorbell, and the input current is 3 A. The device is also self-cooled, and will shut down if its fan is not running so as to prevent thermal overloads.

Abstract: A wireless sensor for measuring a light intensity comprises a photosensitive circuit that can be disabled, for example, to conserve battery power. The wireless sensor may further comprise a wireless transmitter for transmitting wireless signals, a controller and a battery for powering the photosensitive circuit, the wireless transmitter, and the controller. The photosensitive circuit may generate a light intensity control signal in response to the light intensity. The photosensitive circuit may include a photosensitive diode for conducting a current having a magnitude responsive to the light intensity. The controller may be configured to disable the photosensitive circuit by opening a controllable switch that is coupled in series with the photosensitive diode. The controller may enable the photosensitive circuit, subsequently sample the light intensity control signal at a sampling period, and then disable the photosensitive circuit after the light intensity control signal has been sampled.
