Filed:

Mar 28, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/073442

Inventors:

Rick Bergholz - River Hills WI, US
Brian Scharles - Mukwonago WI, US
Jason Kugel - Milwaukee WI, US
Dale G. Jones - Shell Beach CA, US

International Classification:

H05B 37/00
H01R 33/00
H05B 37/02

US Classification:

315121, 315294, 362645

Abstract:

A traffic sign having one or more easily replaceable LED assemblies that can easily be removed or replaced and that make reliable water resistant electrical connection with one or more suitably-designed LED holders, which are installed in various locations as desired on the traffic sign or structure, is disclosed. A control circuit that supplies direct current at suitable levels of DC voltage and DC current to the one or more LED holders that are connected together using series, parallel or combination series and parallel wiring connections in order to provide electrical power to the one or more LED assemblies is provided. Wherein the one or more LED holders also include compensation circuits that enable any failed LED assembly to be electrically bypassed so that the control circuit then automatically adjusts the DC current or DC voltage levels supplied to the remaining traffic sign LEDs so that the remaining LED Assemblies continue to operate properly.

Appl. No.:

12/356733

Inventors:

Jason J. Kugel - Milwaukee WI, US
Brian P. Scharles - Mukwonago WI, US

International Classification:

F21L 4/00
H02J 7/00

US Classification:

362183, 320134

Abstract:

A system includes an energy storage device, a power generator, and a controller. The energy storage device is operable to power a load. The power generator is operable to charge the energy storage device. The controller is operable to generate an energy storage metric representing a quantity of energy stored in the energy storage device over a first time interval and adjust at least one power consumption characteristic of the load for a second time interval based on the energy storage metric.

International Classification:

G08G 1/056

Abstract:

The present invention is a highly accurate detector system for detecting and responding to wrong-way driving incidents. An optimum configuration and combination of sensors gather data corresponding to predetermined vehicle movement test parameters; a set number of parameter deviations from pre-determined thresholds will initiate various sensor signals. The sensor signals may be transmitted to the computer processor, which may in turn produce a range of system outputs. In various embodiments, system outputs may include but are not limited to outputs activating other system components, outputs initiating data storage and analysis, and outputs interfacing and communicating with other systems.
