A product package or packaging is configured such that: (i) the product(s) are obscured from a potential buyer's view when the product package 10 is in a closed position and (ii) the product(s) becomes visible to the potential buyer when an extent of the product package is in a partially opened position. Once the product(s) becomes visible to the potential buyer, an illumination assembly illuminates the product(s). This selective illumination of the product(s) permits: (i) the illumination assembly to be battery powered, (ii) highlights features and attributes of the product(s) in order to attract and keep the potential buyer's attention, and (iii) makes it easier to see the product(s) within the product package, which helps prevent potential buyers from removing the product(s) from the package thereby reducing the chance that the product is inadvertently damaged.

A flow control device for controlling an air curtain formed across a display area of a refrigerated display case, the flow control device comprising: a stabilizing beam comprising an elongate outer cover and a carrier; wherein the outer cover forms a continuous boundary which defines a cavity extending along the length of the outer cover; wherein the carrier is slidably received within the cavity along the length of the outer cover; wherein the carrier is provided with a light source and wherein at least a portion of the outer cover is transparent or translucent such that light emitted by the light source is emitted from the outer cover to provide illumination.

A humidification system including a water-delivery system, an air-delivery system, a control system, and at least one fog-generation system. In example forms, the system includes a water-and-air delivery bar, a fog-delivery block, and/or a tubing-and-track delivery system. In another example form, a humidification system includes a housing having a nozzle discharge body, an air inlet coupling having an air delivery conduit extending therethrough, and a water inlet coupling having a water delivery conduit extending therethrough, and further including means for providing heating and/or a consistent back-pressure and flowrate across multiple nozzles in a multi-nozzle array.

A system for displaying a plurality of objects is provided. The system includes at least one display case which houses the plurality of objects such that each of the plurality of objects is visible from outside of the at least one display case; a lighting system; an electronic display; and a control system which causes each of said plurality of objects to be successively displayed on the electronic display, and which manipulates the lighting system such that, while each of the plurality of objects is being displayed on the electronic display, the object being displayed is simultaneously highlighted in the at least one display case by the lighting system.

A climate controlled display cabinet includes a frame. A stationary shelf is coupled to the frame. A plurality of operable shelves is coupled to at least one of the frame and the stationary shelf. The operable shelves are moveable between open and closed positions. A heat source is in thermal communication with the stationary shelf and the plurality of operable shelves. At least one temperature sensor monitors a temperature of an area proximate the stationary shelf and the plurality of operable shelves.

The invention related to advertising, in particular light signage elements—typically plates or signs—which are placed or coupled to shelves/fixtures in a supermarket/shop, in order to provide information or highlight a specific product. It is therefore an object of the present a dynamic light signage system (1) for the highlighting of a product (10) in one or more shop shelves which comprises lighting means (2), the lighting means (2) being so configured that are able to define a plurality of light projection areas, each light projection area being associated with a selectable product (10) placed on said one or more shelves and lighting an area of a shelf, and a lighting means (2) control device wherein, upon detection of a command in relation to a selectable product (10), the lighting means (2) light the light projection area which is associated to the selectable product (10).

Provided is a refrigerator. The refrigerator is characterized by enabling at least a part of a refrigerator door to be selectively transparent by a user's operation, such that the user sees through an inside of the refrigerator while the refrigerator door is closed.
