Abstract

A lighting system comprises a plurality of lamps including a master lamp and a set of other lamps. During commissioning, the light output profile over time for the set of other lamps after they are instructed to turn on is determined. The master lamp may then be configured and controlled such that it has a master lamp output profile which takes into account delay times of the turning on of the other lamps. In particular, the master lamp light output profile reduces over time during a start-up period to compensate for delayed increases in light output provided by the set of other lamps during the start-up period.

The presence scan mode is activated by the controller (120) after activation of the at least one light (110). The controller (113, 120) is configured to activate the light (110) dependent on a motion detection in a normal operating mode, and to deactivate the light after a holdtime. In the presence scan mode a presence of a mobile electronic device (300) associated to at least one person (200) is detected and a presence detection signal is outputted. The controller (113, 120) interrupts the deactivation of the light (110) before the hold time expires based on the presence detection signal.

Abstract

This invention relates to a binary signaling scheme for use in a transmitter comprising a semiconductor radiation source where the driving current and thus also the radiation output level is modulated by switching the driving current on and off. However, the modulation of the driving current is adapted to not wait for the radiation response to follow the complete rise or fall curve but to switch between two (or a larger number of) selected radiation output levels. During prolonged sequences of zeros (or ones), the driving current is switched to keep the radiation output level between a certain minimum and maximum level. This range of radiation output levels is adaptively selected in accordance with characteristics of the driving current, the optical transmission channel, the radiation source and/or the radiation detector.

Abstract

A transformer comprises a winding structure which forms a primary side coil, a secondary side coil and first and second wires wound into the coil structure of the transformer. The first wire and second wire define a capacitance between them. The first wire is coupled to a cold point in the primary side and the second wire is coupled to a cold point in the secondary side, thereby this capacitance forming a Y-capacitor between the primary and the secondary sides. This capacitance may for example be used for EMI suppression.

Abstract

The present invention relates to performing radio frequency based sensing in multiple sensing areas (50, 60) by multiple nodes (26, 28, 30, 38, 40, 42) located at different locations. A first group (25) of nodes includes at least two of the multiple nodes (26, 28, 30) and performs radio frequency based sensing in a first sensing area (50) for detecting a first sensing event. A second group (25′) of nodes including at least two of the multiple nodes (38, 40, 42) is configured for performing radio frequency based sensing in a second sensing area (60) for detecting a second sensing event based on findings obtained by performing radio frequency based sensing in the first sensing area (50). The nodes (26, 28, 30, 38, 40, 42) may perform radio frequency based sensing based on multiple communication technologies (34). The findings may include which communication technology allows confidently detecting a sensing event.

Abstract

A connector socket has a cylinder-shaped head with a substantially planar end face and a substantially cylindrical side wall. The end face has slots each for receiving an electrical connector pin and the side wall comprises a set of locking channels, each for receiving a locking lug. The locking channels each comprise an entry channel having a first end which opens at the end face and a second end opposite to the first end. Two side channels extend laterally in opposite directions from the second end of the entry channel. The locking channels thereby enable rotation of an attachment (e.g. external component or protective cap) during coupling in both directions. This reduces wear of the walls that define the locking channels.

Abstract

A lighting fixture (100) is disclosed that includes an upper housing (101) that includes an electrical component (107) and a lower housing (102) that includes a lighting module (104) that is electrically coupled to the electrical component (107) using a wire positioned in a wire channel. A first seal (200) including a wire pathway (201) and a slit (202) can be positioned with a first orientation in the wire channel (110) and allow the wire to pass there through using the wire pathway (201) and the slit (202). When the first seal (200) is positioned with the first orientation in the wire channel (110) the possibility of water penetration into one or both of the upper housing (101) or the lower housing (102) via the wire channel (110) is reduced. The first seal (200) can be positioned with a second orientation in the wire channel (110) so that the wire pathway (201) is perpendicular to the wire channel (110) when no wire is needed. The lighting fixture (100) may also include a wire tunnel (109) formed between the upper housing (101) and the lower housing (102) and including an aperture (111) at one end through which the wire passes there through. A second seal can be positioned in the aperture (111) and allow the wire to pass there through the aperture (111). The wire is compressed between a side of the second seal (300) and the aperture (111).
