Abstract: The present invention provides a luminaire system capable of generating light of a desired chromaticity and luminous flux output during continuous operation with varying ambient operating temperature. The luminaire system can be further capable of maintaining a desired correlated colour temperature during dimming of the luminaire. The luminaire system comprises one or more arrays of light-emitting elements for generating light with a current driver system coupled thereto for selectively supplying electrical drive current to each of the arrays, wherein the current driver system is responsive to drive signals received from a controller. The luminaire system further comprises an optical sensor system for generating optical signals representative of chromaticity and luminous flux output of the light. A heat sensing system is operatively coupled to the one or more arrays for generating signals representative of the junction temperatures of arrays of light-emitting elements during operation.

Abstract: A high-frequency receiving unit is provided with a casing configured to incorporate a high-frequency circuit which receives a high-frequency signal and a signal processing circuit which obtains at least one of a picture signal and a data signal from the received high-frequency signal, a display disposed in an opening of the case and configured to display the output of the signal processing circuit, and an antenna configured to receive the high-frequency signal and to supply it to the high-frequency circuit, wherein the antenna is disposed in any one of a top surface, a bottom surface, a right side surface, a left side surface and a back surface on the back side of an intermediate position for dividing the casing into two portions in the direction of depth.

Abstract: A system for characterizing rheological properties of granular material. A cylindrical measurement cup containing granular material is subject to a uniform vibration induced by a vibration exciter at a user-determined frequency. At the same time, a rotation or an oscillation of a rotating vane tool is performed within the powder and a response measured. Baffles are affixed to the inner wall of the measurement cup to prevent slippage of the granular material during measurement. An energy imparted to the system from the vibration exciter can be measured by an accelerometer coupled to the measurement cup. When sufficient vibrational energy is supplied to the system, a powder contained therein achieves a particle “temperature” sufficient such that the powder behaves as an ergodic system.
