Abstract:
A luminaire apparatus includes a luminaire housing body, an electrical cable member and a power source. Means are combined with the cable for compressibly securing one end of the cable in the housing in a position to provide an effective moisture seal and the cable jacket is held in fixed relation to the housing so that strain or pulling forces exerted on the cable are not transmitted to electrical conductors contained therein. When the power source is a battery of the class used in a miner's cap lamp apparatus, for example, in which the housing body is a headpiece to be attached to a miner's "hard hat", the electrical cable may have an opposite end sealably engaged in the battery top, and provided with a strain relief member. A portion of the cable extending inside the battery top is held in a cable locking device so that pulling forces exerted on the cable are not applied to electrical conductors connected to battery terminals. The battery top is provided with multiple charging contacts and unauthorized access to these contacts is prevented by electrical circuit means.

Abstract:
An exemplary apparatus can be provided to determine information regarding a sample(s), which can include, for example an arrangement(s) composed of, at least partially, a particular material in a predetermined area thereof, and including a light facilitating device that can be configured to provide or receive a light radiation(s) to or from the sample(s). The particular material can have a characteristic which can facilitate a sufficient amount of X-ray radiation to pass therethrough so as to generate an X-ray image(s). An X-ray absorption of the material can be at most about 10 times that of a ″ acrylic plate. The light facilitating device can include a light transmitting configuration which can provide the light radiation(s) to the sample.
