Abstract:
A light indicator is comprised of six segments or slices that may each be individually and vividly lit with various colors and at various intensities in order to provide information in a point-of-use context, while also minimizing or entirely eliminating bleeding of colored light from one segment to another during use. The light indicator comprises a case containing a processor, memory, and LED controller, and is capable of lighting one or more segments based partially or wholly upon instructions from a remote controller or based entirely on instructions stored in its own memory. In addition to being able to simultaneously light any combination of segments to a desired color and intensity, the indicator is also capable of performing special modes including directional indication, a run mode indication, and a gauge mode indication.

Claim (Index 21):
An indicator comprising:\n (a) a cover adapted to allow the passage of light, wherein the cover comprises a set of segments, and wherein each segment of the set of segments is positioned next to and touches at least two other segments of the set of segments to form a looping sequence of segments; (b) a set of light indicators positioned within the indicator and operable to selectively illuminate one or more of the set of segments; and (c) a controller configured to control a set of illumination characteristics of the set of light indicators; wherein the controller is further configured to: (i) receive a set of indicator pattern signals, and (ii) individually control the set of illumination characteristics of each of the set of light indicators based upon the indicator pattern signal; and wherein the controller is further configured to, in response to a gauge mode signal of the set of indicator pattern signals: (A) starting at a first segment of the looping sequence of segments, light one or more segments of the looping sequence of segments, in sequence, based upon a gauge value of the gauge mode signal, wherein the number of the one or more segments that are lit is proportional to the gauge value, and (B) repeatedly change the number of the one or more segments that are lit as the gauge value changes in response to additional gauge mode signals.
