In embodiments of the present invention, a method and system is provided for designing improved intelligent, LED-based lighting systems. The LED based lighting systems may include fixtures with one or more of rotatable LED light bars, integrated sensors, onboard intelligence to receive signals from the LED light bars and control the LED light bars, and a mesh network connectivity to other fixtures.

In various embodiments, a device (such as a surgical footswitch, handpiece, etc.) and a surgical console may be used by an operator during a surgical procedure and / or in an office. The device may communicate with the surgical console to receive information associated with a procedure (e.g., information relative to the device, console, or other equipment used in a surgical procedure). In some embodiments, the information may be determined / generated at the device (i.e. and not necessarily received from the surgical console). Based on the information, a configuration may be determined (e.g., at the device, at the console, etc.) for one or more indicators on the device to provide at least part of the information to the operator of the device. The at least one indicator on the device may thus be illuminated to provide the operator at least part of the information associated with the procedure.

An addressable lighting device and control system uses a user-actuable infrared or radio frequency operated remote control(s) to selectively or collectively generate an electronic address for the addressable lighting device on which the device will respond to all future signals from the remote control corresponding to that electronic address. The addressable lighting device has a programming mode for setting the address and a working mode for receiving control signals on the set address and correspondingly setting the desired intensity level of light. The addressable device may have the address set and changed locally (manually) or remotely using the remote control to switch modes, thereby avoiding the problems, expenses and mistakes associated with using dual in-line package (DIP) switches, binary, hex rotary switches, or thumbwheel switches normally used to set each one of the system's unit's unique address.

A method of controlling and managing a plurality of system managers, a plurality of lights and devices, including human interfaces and building automation devices is disclosed. The method includes a system manager collecting data from the plurality of lights and devices. The system manager uses the collected data to determine an adjacency of lights and devices. The system manager dynamically places the plurality of lights and devices into zones and binding human interface devices to the zones, and a dynamically configures the devices to control the zones. The devices perform self-calibration and self-commissioning. The system manager and devices perform ongoing calibration and commissioning. The system manager and devices operate resiliently in case of failure of the system manager, other devices, or software or hardware failures in the devices. The system manager and the devices operate on the collected data to determine usage patterns, and to efficiently manage the plurality of lights and devices.

The invention relates to an intelligent multi-loop electric automobile cooling system. The intelligent multi-loop electric automobile cooling system comprises a power battery pack, an armature module, a battery radiator, an armature radiator, electric water pumps, straightway valves, three-way valves, a PTC heater and a heat exchanger. The cooling system is provided with the two electric water pumps, the two straightway valves and the three three-way valves, and a plurality of loops are formed through pipeline connection. Compared with the prior art, the intelligent multi-loop electric automobile cooling system is provided with the multiple three-way valves and the straightway valves, pipelines are connected to form the loops meeting different cooling or heating needs, the loops are selectively opened or closed according to the characteristics and working states of the electric automobile power battery pack and the armature module, thus temperature balance of an electric automobile is ensured, efficient operation of the electric automobile is ensured, and system energy conservation is significant. Power battery pack cooling and armature module cooling are associated with each other, thus automobile endurance mileage becomes longer, and the power performance and economy of the automobile become better.
