WEARABLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
20170328548 · 2017-11-16 ·

A wearable light assembly includes an opaque housing that is open towards the ground and is configured to reflect light emitted from a first light source downward onto a first location that is close to the wearer and reflect light from a second light source downward onto a second location on the ground that is farther away from the wearer than the first location. In an embodiment, the wearable light assembly senses motion of the wearer and switches between the first light source and the second light source depending on whether the wearer is moving slowly (in which case it activates the first light source) or moving quickly (in which case it activates the second light source).

A reversible mesh garment to prevent mosquito bites and increase safety through greater visibility of the wearer in dark conditions includes a tubular sleeve formed from mesh fabric, the tubular sleeve having a first end and a second end; first and second adjustable elastic bands housed in a woven fabric casing at each end of the tubular sleeve, wherein the first elastic band spans the perimeter circumference of the first end of the tubular sleeve and the second elastic band spans the perimeter circumference of the second end of the tubular sleeve so as to secure the garment to the wearer's legs from groin to ankle; an LED light source; and an additional layer of a strip of mesh fabric two inches wide is sewn as the top outer layer at the side seams thereby forming a mesh channel housing the LED light source.

TECHNIQUES FOR ENHANCED DIFFUSION LIGHTING

Techniques for creating, configuring, and employing diffusion light devices are presented. Such light device(s) can comprise or be associated with a light management component (LMC) that can employ sensors to monitor environmental conditions in a defined area of people or vehicles, and a diffusion component that can diffuse or otherwise process light. At a least a portion of the diffusion component and/or a light component can be formed of a fabric that can emit light and/or diffuse light. LMC can enhance function of the light device to manage diffusion of light or perform other tasks to enhance user experience and safety and security of people or vehicles. Based on results of analyzing sensor data relating to the conditions, LMC can determine and facilitate implementing an adjustment(s) to a parameter(s) of the diffusion component or light component to achieve desired emission or diffusion of light.
