A passenger window shade on an aircraft is provided. The passenger window shade includes a first section of the passenger window shade. The first section forms a substantially flat and thin plane. The first section has a first transparency to visible light. The passenger window shade includes a second section of the passenger window shade situated within the first section. The second section includes a second transparency to visible light that is different from the first transparency such that an image is formed inside the aircraft when visible light is aimed at the passenger window shade from outside the aircraft.

A crowd management system (CMS), is disclosed which includes a command and control (C2) subsystem, a sensor network in communication with the C2 subsystem and adapted to provide signals corresponding to geographical number of individuals in a venue, and one or more crowd management devices (CMDs) further in communication with the C2 subsystem, each of the CMDs including a base adapted to release air at a high pressure, the base further including a positional device adapted to position the base according to a selective position, and an inflatable body terminating into a predefined shape adapted to convey a predefined message to individuals near the CMDs.

An LED sticker is disclosed that receives an NFC transmission from a nearby smartphone to energize LEDs in the sticker. A spiral (or loop) antenna is used in the sticker to generate power from the NFC transmission. The NFC signal is at 13.56 MHz, which is the resonant frequency of the NFC antenna circuit in the smartphone. The LED portion is formed by sandwiching pre-formed microscopic LEDs between two conductive layers to connect the LEDs in parallel. The conductive layers form a relatively large integral capacitor that is used to achieve the 13.56 MHz resonant frequency. So no additional capacitor is needed in the circuit to achieve a resonance of 13.56 MHz. This greatly reduces the design requirements of the antenna. The LED sticker may also contain an NFC tag having its own independent loop antenna and NFC chip. Various practical applications of the LED sticker are disclosed.

A device including a monitor assembly having an outlet configured to selectively distribute a fire suppressant there from, the outlet being pivotal about a first axis and a second axis, a cover coupled to the monitor assembly, and a light assembly coupled to the cover. The light assembly illuminates indicia on a lens of the light assembly.

The invention relates to a decorative material composite (10), in particular for the interior fittings of motor vehicles, comprising a flat decorative material (11), which is permeable to light, and a visible side (14) and a rear side (13) opposite the visible side (14), wherein a printable diffuser (20) is arranged on the rear side (13) of the decorative material (11), wherein, in a sub-region, a layer (30) at least substantially impermeable to light is applied, and in particular printed, onto the side of the diffuser (20) facing away from the decorative material (11), wherein the regions (31) left blank by the layer (30) impermeable to light depict information, patterns or symbols, wherein the decorative material composite (10) serves to be backlit with an illumination device (40) and to allow a part of the light of the illumination device (40) to pass through the regions (31) left blank to the visible side (14) of the decorative material (11).

The present invention also relates to its use and a production method.

An information display device (1G) attachable to a structure includes a display panel (23) and a surface member (11). The display panel (23) has a display surface and displays information on the display surface. The surface member (11) is disposed on the display surface side of the display panel (23) and is in a state where only the information displayed on the display surface of the display panel (23) is visible through the surface member (11) when the display panel (23) is turned on. The surface member includes a first layer (71) disposed on a front side, and a second layer (72) that is disposed on the display panel (23) side with respect to the first layer (71). The second layer (72) is configured to compensate the difference of transmittance depending on the position on the first layer (71).

A system, apparatus and method for light diffusion and testing fixtures. The system includes remote derangement controls to test the operation of a battery backup system associated with a fixture. The light fixture may incorporate light diffusion features including back mounted light sources, channeled corners in a translucent material and/or pitted surfaces of a translucent material. The system may further include remote monitoring elements and/or sensors to evaluate proper operation of the light diffusion characteristics of a fixture during operation of the battery backup system.

A badge has a print layer and a substrate that is a processed layer. The print layer is printed with a subject image in which a radial center point is defined as a center point of a radial representation. The substrate has a circular brushed surface that is subjected to circular processing. At least one of the print layer and the substrate is light transmissive. The print layer is laminated on the circular brushed surface side of the substrate such that the radial center point of the subject image and a circular processing center point that is a center point of the circular processing coincide with each other.

An industrial electronic apparatus includes a display panel that includes a design portion including a character or a graphic, and a light source provided behind the display panel. The display panel includes: a transparent plate having a back face located on the light source side and a front face located on a side opposite to the light source side; a light shielding portion that is located on the back face side of the transparent plate, covers a portion, of the back face, that does not correspond to the design portion, and includes a window that is formed at a portion, of the back face, that corresponds to the design portion, and a light diffusing portion that is located on the back face side of the transparent plate, and covers a portion, of the back face of the transparent plate, that corresponds to the design portion.
