PulseStar™ Partners
PulseStar™ is a collaborative partnership between PulseSwitch
Systems of Norfolk, Virginia (which developed and manufactures the
control systems) and NRG Industrial Lighting Manufacturing of Bowling
Green, Ohio (the designer and manufacturer of the fixtures and accessories).
NRG has manufactured tens of thousands of energy-efficient lighting
fixtures and installed them in hundreds of facilities for numerous
Fortune 100 companies; smaller private sectors Clients; and city,
state and Federal government agencies.
PulseSwitch Systems is a spin-off of The Face® Companies (“Face”),
the only entity to have solely developed two NOVA Award-winning
technologies. The NOVA is the highest international honor for construction
innovation.
PulseSwitch’s “Lightning Switch®” technology,
which has been adapted for use in PulseStar™, won a 2006 NOVA.
Lightning Switch uses a piezoelectric generator invented by NASA
and licensed to Face, which commercially developed the concept.
NASA recognized Face’s achievement as one of the 20 most important
developments of NASA originated technology of the early 21st century.
Lightning Switch also won the 2008 SPIE Award, which recognizes
one technology in the world for the importance of its practical
application of advanced, “smart” materials.
Lightning Switch was one of the first five technologies chosen for
HUD’s 2007 PATH Concept Home; it has been chosen for the 2008
PATH Home; and it is recommended by the National Association of
Homebuilders.
Face is a family-controlled group of companies founded in 1867.
In the 1970s and 80s, Face developed what is now the international
standard for the specification, measurement and control of concrete
floor flatness and levelness known as “F-Numbers”: Face
Floor Profile Numbers. F-Numbers won a 1990 NOVA. Face manufactures
the Dipstick® Profiler, the instrument of record for measuring
the flatness and levelness of floors, pavements and bridges. The
Dipstick is used in more than 50 countries around the world and
has been specified by numerous agencies including the World Bank
and the Federal Highway Administration.
