Portable saw fence
A fence apparatus for handling a workpiece and resting on a support surface includes a rigid rectanguloid base, a top side of which includes a plurality of parallel guide slots. A bottom side includes at least three height-adjustable feet. A fence assembly includes an adjustable fence bracket and a fence. In some embodiments a top edge of the fence includes one of the guide slots, and the flip stop includes one of the guides for cooperating therewith to allow the flip stop to slide along the top edge of the fence. The flip stop may further include a removable pusher bar extending parallel to the fence for pushing the workpiece close to the tool. Two side L-brackets are each adapted for fixing with sides of the base and for fixing with the support surface. The fence apparatus is fully reversible from left to right.
Smart attachment for ANSI connector
A Smart ANSI Microcontroller is provided to retrofit preexisting light fixtures. The preexisting light fixtures are configured with 5 pin or 7 pin ANSI receptacles. The Smart ANSI Microcontroller is configured to accept a variety of control signals and to control the power output of the driver of the preexisting driver of the luminaire in order to control the light output of the luminaire. The Smart ANSI Microcontroller is configured with a 5 pin or 7 pin ANSI male connector that is configured for mating engagement with the 5 pin or 7 pin female ANSI connector found in typical prior art luminaires, such as street lamps. The Smart ANSI Microcontroller allows for contemporary accessory light controllers to be utilized with the preexisting luminaires. The contemporary light controllers can be configured to connect to the Smart ANSI Microcontroller via wireless and/or wired connection.

Commissioning load control systems
A load control system may include control devices for controlling power provided to an electrical load. The control devices may include a control-source device and a control-target device. The control-target device may control the power provided to the electrical load based on digital messages received from the control-source device. The control devices may include a load control discovery device capable of sending discovery messages configured to discover control devices within a location. The discovered control devices may be organized by signal strength and may be provided to a network device to enable association of the discovered control devices within a location. The discovery messages may be transmitted within an established discovery range. The discovery range may be adjusted to discover different control devices. Different control devices may be identified as the load control discovery device for discovering different control devices.

Self-test procedure for a control device
A control module for a lighting fixture may include an input circuit (e.g., a wireless communication circuit) that may be susceptible to noise generating by a noise-generating source (e.g., a lighting control device in the lighting fixture). The control circuit may execute a self-test procedure to determine if the magnitude of the noise is acceptable or unacceptable for normal operation of the control module. During the self-test procedure, the control circuit may measure a noise level at a connection of the input circuit and determine if the noise level causes the self-test procedure to fail. The control circuit may control the lighting load to multiple intensities, measure noise levels of the output signal at each intensity, and process the noise levels to determine if the test has passed or failed. The control circuit may illuminate a visual indicator to provide an indication that the self-test procedure has failed.

Light fixture with NFC-controlled lighting parameters
A fixture configuration module comprises a connector configured to be removably coupled with a light fixture. The fixture configuration module also comprises fixture control circuitry communicatively coupled to the connector and configured to control the light fixture to produce light in accordance with a range of a lighting parameter. The range includes at least a subset of values supported by the light fixture for producing light. The fixture configuration module further comprises range control circuitry communicatively coupled to the fixture control circuitry and configured to wirelessly receive the range at least while the connector is uncoupled from the light fixture, and designate the range to the fixture control circuitry while the connector is coupled to the light fixture.
