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 20):
An indicator comprising:\n (a) a case; (b) a cover, wherein the cover is adapted to allow the passage of light therethrough, wherein the case and cover define an interior; (c) a divider comprising a hub with a set of six spokes extending outwards from a central axis, wherein, when the divider is placed within the interior:\n (i) a top edge of each of the set of six spokes abuts the cover such that the set of six spokes define a set of six segments of the cover, wherein each segment of the set of six segments abuts two other segments of the set of six segments to form a looping sequence of segments, \n (ii) the set of six spokes define a set of six sections within the interior, and \n (iii) each of the set of six segments corresponds to a different of the set of six sections, \n (d) a set of light indicators, wherein each section of the set of six sections contains at least one light indicator of the set of light indicators, and wherein each of the set of light indicators are individually operable to illuminate a corresponding segment of the set of six segments; (e) a controller configured to control a set of illumination characteristics of the set of light indicators; (f) a mount adapted to attach the indicator to a point-of-use, the mount comprising a positioning key adapted to ensure that, when the indicator is attached to the point-of-use, the position of each of the set of six segments is pre-determined; wherein the controller is further configured to receive a directional signal, and in response to the directional signal: (i) determine a direction associated with the directional signal, wherein the direction is associated with the physical space in which the point-of-use is located, (ii) determine one or more segments of the set of six segments that are associated with the direction based upon the pre-determined position of each of the set of six segments, and (iii) light each of the one or more segments to indicate the direction.
