Interchangeable Bollard Style Fixture With Variable Light Pattern
View pageUS Patent:
6402337, Jun 11, 2002
Filed:
May 23, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/578080
Inventors:
Craig LeVasseur - Camarillo CA
Terry Bridges - Westlake Village CA
Terry Bridges - Westlake Village CA
Assignee:
Cooper Technologies Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
E01F 900
US Classification:
3621531, 362288, 362277, 362285
Abstract:
A bollard style light fixture, which allows the user to vary the fixtures light distribution pattern, while also eliminating the fixtures emission of glare. The fixture of this invention is also designed to absorb a minor amount of shock without damage, and provides a mechanism whereby the fixture may be quickly and easily leveled and releveled even after installation. The fixture of this invention comprises a base; a compressible base pad upon which the base rests; a support sleeve vertically extending from the base; a light source located within the support sleeve; a light-emitting window located on the support sleeve opposite the base; and an adjustable cap assembly located atop the light-emitting window vertically adjustable for variably covering the light-emitting window, thus varying the light distribution pattern of the fixture and redirecting the light rays towards the ground, eliminating glare.

Filed:
May 9, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/567957
Inventors:
Craig LeVasseur - Westlake Village CA
Assignee:
Cooper Technologies, Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
F21V 1100
US Classification:
362351, 362147, 362311, 362362, 362367, 362431, 362579
Abstract:
A decorative lamp fixture includes a housing with a generally rectangular cross-section formed of a pair of identical interlocking extruded members. An opening or window is formed on each side of the housing. The housing includes a plurality of internal grooves or channels for holding fasteners supporting a bracket which secures a glass block in position, such that its face surfaces are adjacent or protrude slightly from the openings. A lamp is positioned within the housing such that it directs light at an edge of the glass block. Other edges of the glass block are coated with a light reflecting coating, such as white paint. The housing includes a cover, and the lamp may be secured to the cover, or it may be positioned below the glass block.
Dimming Control System With Distributed Command Processing

6603276, Aug 5, 2003
Filed:
Aug 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/935059
Inventors:
Leonard M Chansky - Northridge CA
Ken Vannice - Portland OR
Craig LeVasseur - Camarillo CA
Ken Vannice - Portland OR
Craig LeVasseur - Camarillo CA
Assignee:
Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. - Little Neck NY
International Classification:
H05B 3702
US Classification:
315362, 315295, 315DIG 4, 361600, 361697
Abstract:
A dimming control system includes dimmer modules which receive dimming level information from a control module. Each dimmer modules includes a microprocessor which provides internal intelligence for controlling power to a load in response to the dimming level information. The control module receives industry standard protocol dimming information from various sources, converts it to dimming level information, and communicates the dimming level information to the dimmer modules through serial communication lines. The dimmer modules and control module are mounted in a rack which includes a backplane having nonvolatile memory device that retains configuration data even if the control module is removed from the rack. The dimmer modules implement a zero cross prediction method which includes detecting an actual zero cross, calculating an error, and adding the error to the period of a line power signal. The error is calculated by applying a median filter to a plurality of previous error values, discarding the highest and lowest values of the previous error values, and averaging the remaining previous error values.
Metal Halide Accent Fixture With Adjustable Reflector/Beam Spread
View pageUS Patent:
6942363, Sep 13, 2005
Filed:
Nov 6, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/290000
Inventors:
Craig LeVasseur - Golden CO, US
Assignee:
Cooper Technologies Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
F21V017/02
F21V014/04
F21V014/04
US Classification:
362277, 362267, 362285, 362319
Abstract:
A metal halide light fixture includes three generally cylindrical parts including a lamp housing with a lamp and a lamp socket, an intermediate sleeve member secured to the lamp housing, and a third focusing housing secured to the intermediate sleeve member. The focusing housing includes a reflector member including a concave reflecting surface and a lens. The lamp housing carries a T-6 lamp or similar lamp which includes a cylindrical arc tube having a significant axial length. Rotating the focusing housing moves the reflector member which surrounds the lamp axially relative to the arc tube to shift the light output pattern from floodlight to spotlight. The lamp housing is connected to a mounting structure through a swivel connection. Wires from the lamp socket are fed through a port in the lamp housing and a channel in the mounting structure and are potted in place. Threaded connections between the three principal parts are protected by O-ring seals.

International Classification:
G05F 1/00
US Classification:
315294, 315297, 315317, 315318, 361600, 361826
Abstract:
A dimming control system includes dimmer modules that receive dimming level information from one of at least two control modules. Each dimmer module includes a microprocessor that provides internal intelligence for controlling power to a load in response to dimming level information. Control modules receive industry standard protocol dimming information from various sources, convert it to dimming level information, and serially communicate the dimming level information to the dimmer modules. Dimmer modules and control modules are mounted in a rack which includes a backplane having a nonvolatile memory device that retains configuration data even if control modules are removed from the rack. An inactive control module can assume control of the rack when an active control module fails.

Image Projection Fixtures
View pageUS Patent:
62836005, Sep 4, 2001
Filed:
Apr 9, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/288876
Inventors:
Craig Levasseur - Westlake Village CA
Assignee:
Cooper Technologies Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03B 2114
US Classification:
353119
Abstract:
An image projector includes a generally cylindrical housing containing a slide or pattern holder, a fixed lens and an adjustable lens. A separate lamp house threadedly engaged with the housing contains a lamp and electrical connections to the lamp. A cylindrical forward housing or shroud is threadedly engaged with the housing at its opposite end and includes a window through which the light pattern is transmitted. Seals are incorporated adjacent to the threaded connections to assure weather tight operation. The housing is carried in a sleeve which is spaced to allow air circulation around the housing. The sleeve is carried in a yoke which permits elevational adjustment of the projector.
