Abstract:
A system for luring pests including a pest detector and a pest lure. The pest detector may be adapted to generate a type detection signal having a value indicative of a type of a pest in proximity to the pest detector. The pest lure may be in electrical communication with the pest detector and adapted to activate responsive to the type detection signal.
Abstract:
A luminaire comprising a first and second terminal connected to an alternating current power source having a period, a first LED light source electrically coupled to each of the first and second terminals, and a second LED light source electrically coupled to each of the first and second terminals. The first LED light source comprises a first color conversion layer having a first emission latency.
Abstract:
A method for embedding a dopant into a glass substrate is provided. The method may include the steps of applying the dopant to a surface of the glass substrate, positioning the glass substrate adjacent to a catalyst such that the dopant is intermediate the catalyst and the glass substrate, heating the glass substrate to a first temperature, operating a directed thermal energy source so as to generate thermal energy incident upon the dopant, reducing the temperature of the glass substrate to a second temperature below the first temperature, and holding the glass substrate at the second temperature for at least a period of time.

Abstract:
A lighting assembly comprising a light source operable to emit light, a first primary optic, and a second primary optic. Each of the first primary optic and the second primary optic are configured so as to reflect light incident thereupon to be emitted by the lighting assembly. Additionally, each of the first primary optic and the second primary optic are positioned such that a first portion of light emitted by the light source is incident upon the first primary optic and a second portion of light emitted by the light source is incident upon the second primary optic. At least one of the first primary optic and the second primary optic is operable to me rotated to change the relative position thereof with respect to the light source.
