| 20150223310 | RADIO-FREQUENCY LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM WITH OCCUPANCY SENSING - A load control system controls an electrical load provided in a space and comprises a load control device and one or more occupancy sensors. The load control device controls the load in response to the wireless control signals received from the occupancy sensors. Each occupancy sensor transmits an occupied control signal to the load control device in response to detecting an occupancy condition in the space and a vacant control signal to the load control device in response to detecting a vacancy condition. The load control device turns on the load in response to receiving the occupied control signal from at least one of the occupancy sensors, and turns off the load in response to receiving vacant control signals from both of the occupancy sensors. The load control device is operable to determine that no wireless control signals have been received from the occupancy sensors for the length of a predetermined timeout period and to subsequently turn off the load. | 2015-08-06 |
| 20150223311 | WIRELESS COMMUNICAITONS CIRCUIT PROTECTION STRUCTURE - The present invention is a wireless communications circuit protection structure, in which a microstrip structure is improved and a combined structure of the microstrip structure and the coplanar waveguide (CPW) structure are improved, so that an external ground and an internal system ground may be totally separated with each other to provide electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS), electrostatic discharge (ESD), electricity leakage proofing ability, and a loss within a specific wireless communications frequency range may satisfy the wireless communications ability requirement. | 2015-08-06 |
| 20150223312 | X-Ray Imaging Apparatus - An X-ray imaging apparatus includes: a plurality of detecting elements arranged two-dimensionally; a radiation sensor configured to change a voltage value to be output when radiation is emitted; a determining unit configured to determine whether radiation that has entered the radiation sensor is natural radiation based on a length of a period during which the voltage value output from the radiation sensor is outside a predetermined range set for the voltage value; and an emission start detecting unit configured to determine whether X-ray emission from an X-ray generator has been started based on a determination result indicating that the determining unit has determined that the radiation having entered the radiation sensor is not natural radiation. | 2015-08-06 |
| 20150223313 | NOZZLE AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - An EUV light source target material handling system is disclosed which includes a target material dispenser and a target material repository including a nozzle with a radial trench design. The nozzle may be formed from a silicon-on-insulator wafer. | 2015-08-06 |
