Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature an RF device including a conductive loop and a plurality of resonant circuits. Each of the plurality of resonant circuits is electromagnetically coupled to the conductive loop with an effective coupling coefficient. The effective coupling coefficient has a relative low absolute value such that each of the plurality of resonant circuits has a distinctive resonant frequency.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for filter media monitoring within a filtration system. The filter media monitoring techniques described herein include, for example, direct contact with the filter media, e.g., a sensor may be located inside a boundary defined by a surface of the filter media, or indirect contact with the filter media, e.g., a sensor may be located outside the boundary defined by the surface of the filter media such that the sensor does not make direct physical contact with the filter media being monitored.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a control scheme for actively detecting the presence of a pedestrian which triggers the lighting of a bollard-style luminaire, methods for crosswalk illumination using the bollard-style luminaires, and methods of communication between bollard-style luminaires. The present disclosure further describes actively monitoring for vehicles and indicating safe passage, through lighting feedback on a pedestrian crosswalk or other walkway. The bollard luminaire includes a design that generally confines light to illuminate the crosswalk and the pedestrian in the crosswalk, such that light that could produce glare for the pedestrian and/or a driver approaching the crosswalk is minimized.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes light delivery and distribution components of a light duct that can be used as a luminaire, such as a bollard-style luminaire that can be useful for the illumination of pedestrian crosswalks, the light engine useful in the luminaire, and methods for making the light engine and the luminaire. The present disclosure further describes methods for crosswalk illumination using the bollard-style luminaires, and methods of communication between bollard luminaires. The bollard luminaire includes a design that generally confines light to illuminate the crosswalk and the pedestrian in the crosswalk, such that light that could produce glare for the pedestrian and/or a driver approaching the crosswalk is minimized.
