A system for electronic patient care includes a hub. The hub is configured to monitor a patient-care device. The sandbox may be configured to control access to at least one of a hardware resource and a software resource. The hub is further configured to identify the patient-care device and execute an application to monitor the patient-care device. The hub executes the application within the sandbox component such that the application accesses the at least one of the hardware resource and the software resource through the sandbox component. The hub may be further configured to control the patient-care device. The hub may be further configured to receive an identification from the patient-care device and download the application from a server associated with the identification. The hub may be further configured to receive an identification from the patient-care device and update the application from a server associated with the identification.

An illumination apparatus which is capable of appropriately determining whether or not a radiating direction of a flash is deviated from a direction targeted by a user and preventing degradation in user convenience. The illumination apparatus has a movable unit that has a light-emitting unit, and a main body unit that holds the movable unit rotatably in a predetermined direction. A present angle of the movable unit with respect to the main body unit is detected, and a difference between the present angle and a target angle to which the movable unit is to be moved is obtained. When the difference is smaller than a threshold value, it is determined that there is no angular deviation of the movable unit. The threshold value used in the determination varies with the target angle.

An LED fixture is provided for photographic and theatrical lighting. The light fixture is particularly suitable for photographic and theatrical lighting by mounting LED elements directly or indirectly on articulating arms. The arms have a first pivot mounted segment connected by a hinge to a hub and a second pivot mounted segment connected by an intermediate hinge to said first pivot mounted segment.

An imaging system includes an illumination apparatus and imaging apparatus, and the illumination apparatus includes a light emitting unit, a movable unit including the light emitting unit, and configured to be rotatably held to a main body unit, a driving unit configured to drive the movable unit, a calculating unit configured to calculate an illumination direction of the light emitting unit, and a transmitting unit configured to transmit, to the imaging apparatus, information about a charged voltage of a capacitor for storing energy to cause the light emitting unit to emit light. The transmitting unit transmits, to the imaging apparatus, information indicating that the charged voltage of the capacitor is less than the predetermined value, when the driving unit is used to drive the movable unit to cause the calculating unit to calculate the illumination direction, even if the charged voltage of the capacitor is a predetermined value or more.

A multi-function portable lighting apparatus is provided, including a lighting device, a carrier unit and a support unit. The carrier unit has two ends, with one end disposed with lighting device and the other coupled with support unit. The support unit includes a battery set, supplying power to lighting device. The carrier unit includes a clamping assembly, and the clamping assembly has a clamping opening, with direction perpendicular to light projection axis of lighting device. The clamping assembly includes a clamping base, a clamping element and a rotation element. The rotation element matches the clamping element in a means of screw. When the rotation element rotates, the clamping element moves in clamping base linearly to open or close clamping opening. The apparatus can be used as a flashlight or clamping onto a smart phone to provide lighting when the ambient light is insufficient for photography.

A technique for strobe shooting using automatic irradiation direction control. A strobe device includes a light emission section that emits light, and a drive unit that changes an irradiation direction of light emitted from the light emission section. Exposure conditions set to the camera are notified to the strobe device, and light emission conditions are set according to the exposure conditions. The irradiation direction of light emitted from the light emission section is determined based on the exposure conditions and the light emission conditions.

An imaging apparatus includes an operation unit and a control unit to perform photographing using an illumination apparatus capable of automatically driving a movable unit, including a light emitting unit, for changing an irradiation direction of the light emitting unit. The operation unit receives an instruction to start a photographing operation. The control unit performs control, in a case where the operation unit receives an instruction to start a photographing operation while the movable unit is being automatically driven to change the irradiation direction of the light emitting unit, not to perform flash photography in which the light emitting unit is caused to emit light.

A 360-degree light apparatus, comprising a body comprising a hollow tube having an exterior surface, a first end, and a second end, a first endcap removably attached to the first end of the hollow tube, a second endcap removably attached to the second end, a light source secured to a predetermined portion of the exterior surface of the hollow tube, and a computing device secured within the hollow tube electrically connected to the light source.

To enable light emission shooting according to the condition of an imaging apparatus, an imaging system, which includes an illumination device capable of automatically driving a movable portion including a light emission unit to change a radiation direction of the light emission unit and an imaging apparatus, includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information classifying a lens unit attached to the imaging apparatus, and a control unit configured to control the radiation direction of the light emission unit based on the information classifying the lens unit acquired by the acquisition unit.
