A technology for configuring a lifestyle LED light with a tunable light color temperature is disclosed. The technology of tuning the light color temperature is made possible by blending two LED loads emitting light with different color temperatures thru a light diffuser with an arrangement that a first electric power delivered to a first LED load emitting light with a low color temperature and a second electric power delivered to a second LED load emitting light with a high color temperature are reversely and complementarily adjusted for tuning a diffused light color temperature such that a total light intensity generated by the LED light is kept essentially unchanged.

A system for monitoring a petrochemical installation is disclosed. The system can include an optical imaging system comprising an array of optical detectors. The system can comprise processing electronics configured to process image data detected by the optical imaging system. The processing electronics can be configured to detect a target species based at least in part on the processed image data. The processing electronics can further be configured to, based on a detected amount of the target species, transmit an alarm notification to an external computing device over a communications network indicating that the target species has been detected at the petrochemical installation.

A computing-device implemented system and method for identifying an item in an x-ray image is described. The method includes training a machine learning algorithm with at least one training data set of x-ray images to generate at least one machine-learned model. The method further includes receiving at least one rendered x-ray image that includes an item, identifying the item using the at least one model, and generating an automated detection indication associated with the item.

An anti-theft device with a remote alarm feature is provided. The device is configured to attach to an item of retail merchandise and detect when a predetermined motion and light condition are met which together are indicative of a potential retail theft. Upon detection, the device is configured to generate a local alarm, and send a radio frequency to a remote device to generate an alarm at the remote device.

Apparatus for detecting a presence of a target in a room is disclosed. The apparatus includes a motion-sensitive passive infrared (PIR) sensor, an imaging sensor, and a control unit. The PIR sensor is adapted to provide a motion signal, while the imaging sensor is adapted to generate at least a first image and a second image. The control unit is adapted to provide either a first signal or a second signal, depending on the strength of the motion and a comparison of the first and second images, where the first signal indicates a presence of the target and the second signal indicates an absence of the target. Also disclosed are a system for controlling lighting in a room, a method for detecting a presence of a target in a room, and a corresponding use of an apparatus for controlling lighting in a room.
