Title: Methods, apparatus and systems for providing occupancy-based variable lighting
Inventor: CHEMEL BRIAN J
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2012-03-20
Abstract: A presence and an absence of a person or object of interest (an "occupant") is detected, and an occupancy sensor signal is generated indicating an active state In which the presence of the occupant is detected, and an inactive state in which the absence of the occupant is delected. An ambient light sensor detects the ambient light level and generates an ambient light sensor signal indicating the ambient light level. Dimmable illumination is generated at a first level, based on the ambient light level, corresponding to the active state and a second level corresponding to the inactive state. A transition delay time between an onset of the inactive state and a transition between the first dimming level and the second dimming level may be controlled. The first dimming level, the second dimming level, and/or the transition delay time may be variably set or controlled locally or via a remote device.

Title: Management of reference spectral information and searching
Inventor: GARDNER CRAIG M
IPC: G16B40/00
Filed: 2013-01-17
Abstract: A processing application receives peak information associated with multiple known references samples. The processing application partitions a spectrum into multiple different sized range bins such that a substantially equal number of the peaks associated with the known reference samples reside into each of the multiple different sized range bins. To identify a set of candidate reference samples in a library of reference samples that potentially are a good match an unknown sample under test, the processing application compares peaks associated with the unknown sample to the multiple different sized range bins. The greater the number of range bin matches based on peaks in the unknown sample and peaks in a corresponding reference sample, the greater the likelihood that the unknown sample matches the corresponding reference sample.
