Electronic light emitting flares and related methods. Flares of the present invention include various features such as self-synchronization, remote control, motion-actuated or percussion-actuated features, dynamic shifting between side-emitting and top-emitting light emitters in response to changes in positional orientation (e.g., vertical vs. horizontal) of the flare; overrides to cause continued emission from side-emitting or top-emitting light emitters irrespective of changes in the flare's positional orientation; use of the flare(s) for illumination of traffic cones and other hazard marking or traffic safety objects or devices, group on/off features, frequency specificity to facilitate use of separate groups of flares in proximity to one another, selection and changing of flashing patterns and others.

Disclosed is an illuminating panel, in particular integrated into a traversable surface, including, in succession, a first protective film arranged on the front face of the device, a first exterior encapsulating film, an interior encapsulating film, a second exterior encapsulating film, and a second protective film arranged on the rear face of the device, one of the films chosen from among the first exterior encapsulating film, the interior encapsulating film and the second exterior encapsulating film coating at least one active element suitable for emitting light. Also disclosed is a method for producing such a panel and a functional traversable surface with such a panel.

An absorber device for electromagnetic sensor systems has at least one aperture. Each aperture is able to be opened and closed by an aperture closure. The absorber device is designed in such a way that when the aperture is open, electromagnetic waves incoming through the aperture do not then leave the absorber device, and when the aperture is closed, electromagnetic waves impinging on the aperture are reflected.

A road marker apparatus, system and lighting module and corresponding methods of manufacture, installation and replacement. There is a road insert having upwardly facing ridges and an internal cavity with interior surface textures and a tapered front cavity; a boot of incompressible material disposed within the internal cavity of the road insert and form-fit thereto; and a housing body removably disposed within the boot cavity and form-fit thereto. An array of exterior surface textures that operate as a forward operating taper lock between the housing body and the road insert that restricts forward movement and rotation of the housing body with respect to the road insert; and a housing cavity within which one or more physical modules may be disposed. There is a rear lock behind the housing body that prevents rearward displacement of the housing body with respect to the road insert.

Apparatus providing beamforming and environmental protection for LED light sources. A lens apparatus is provided to protect an LED mounted on a substrate. The lens apparatus includes an alignment feature configured to align the LED to a selected position and a focusing region configured to form a selected beam pattern from light emitted from the LED when located at the selected position. The lens apparatus also includes a compression surface configured to compress the substrate to a heat sink to facilitate heat dissipation from the LED and a fastening feature configured to fasten the lens apparatus to the heat sink to provide an environmentally protective seal, so that when the lens apparatus is fastened to the heat sink the alignment feature aligns the LED to the selected position, the compression surface compresses the substrate to the heat sink, and the protective seal protects the LED from environmental conditions.

An optical projection device for projecting a linear image is disclosed. Light emitted by an array of light emitting diodes arranged along an array axis is focused in at least a direction perpendicular to the array axis and diffused in a direction parallel to the array axis, thereby generating a linear image in which light from adjacent light emitting diodes is spatially overlapped. In some embodiments, the focusing and diffusion of the light is performed by a Fresnel lens and a lenticular lens, respectively. The optical projection device may be employed to virtually mark a surface, such as a floor in an industrial setting. High power light emitting diodes may be employed to generate a linear image having an illuminance of at least 4000 lux that is focused to a distance between 7.5 and 20 feet.

A light gathering and diffusing illuminated lens is shown and described herein.

A crosswalk warning light is provided, the crosswalk warning light comprising: a housing which includes a front, the front including a first end and a second end, at least one end including at least one slot, a face with at least one aperture, the aperture defining an outside edge, a step with a riser, the step including or housing at least one optical element, the riser adjacent the outside edge, a top shaped to conform to the front, a bottom shaped to conform to the top, and a back; and at least one bank of light emitting diode (LED) lights positioned such that a portion of the bank of light emitting diodes is aligned with the aperture and a portion of the bank of light emitting diodes is aligned with the step, wherein the at least one optical element is configured to deviate an incident optical path by ninety degrees to provide a deviated optical path that is aligned with the at least one slot.
