  • Patent number: 7813061
    Abstract: The present invention relates to collecting sunlight and to transport said sunlight into a space. The sunlight collecting device comprises at least a first focusing lens and at least a first light collector. A first and a second movable sheet are provided with a first vertical distance from each other. A pendulum is provided to hold the focusing lens and to also be coupled to a first sheet by a first joint and to a second sheet by a second joint. Said first and second joint provides movement in at least two orthogonal directions.

  • Publication number: 20100166365
    Abstract: An apparatus is presented for capture and transfer of sunlight. The apparatus comprises a light capturing section, an optical fibre which comprises a first end, a second end and a light transferring section arranged between the ends, which light transferring section along its entire length has an essentially constant crosssectional area and which first end is connected to the light capturing section, and a body with essentially the same refractive index as the light transferring section. The second end of the optical fibre is connected to a first end of the body, the second end of the body, which is opposite the first end of the body, has a larger crosssectional area than the light transferring section and first and second ends of the body are essentially plane parallel.

  • Patent number: 7295372
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for collecting and transmitting sunlight into a space comprising a solar ray collecting device, a solar light transmitting device and a solar light emitting device, wherein said solar ray collecting device is arranged to collect sunlight and direct said sunlight to said solar light transmitting device, said solar ray transmitting device is arranged to transmit said sunlight from said solar ray collecting device into said space and to said solar light emitting device, and said solar light emitting device is arranged to emit solar light in said space. Said solar ray collecting device comprises at least one convex lens and at least one concave lens, and at least said convex lens or said concave lens is arranged to be movable in dependence of the angle of incident solar light so as to focus the solar light onto said solar light transmitting means through said convex and concave lens.

  • Patent number: 7013950
    Abstract: The invention relates to a ventilation device for ventilation room by room and/or zone by zone and comprises: a) a device casing (12), which is provided in or adjacent an outer wall of a building or the like and which connects room air to outside air, b) a heat-exchange (22) of counter flow type, provided in the casing (12) and transferring heat from the outgoing and in-going airflows, respectively, c) two fans (18,20) arranged in said casing (12), of which one is connected to the ingoing air duct (14) of the heat-exchanger (22) and the other to the outgoing air duct (16) of the heat-exchanger (22), d) at least one sensor (30) for determination of the airflow's relative deviation in velocity from a neutral value of the airflows passing through each respective duct (14, 16), and e) a control means (32), which, depending on the values given by the sensor (30), is arranged to regulate the rotation speed of the fans (18, 20), for the purpose of substantially balancing the airflow, so that it is substantially equa

  • Patent number: 6676506
    Abstract: Arrangement for protecting floors above the crawl space and buildings on foundations of the crawl-space type from damp and microbial growth, where the crawl space (2) is delimited by the floor (4) above the crawl space of the building, bearing foundation walls (1) with vents (9) for outdoor air and the foundation ground (3). The arrangement comprises an essentially windtight and vapourtight climate screen (12) which is arranged in such a manner that it divides the crawl space (2) into at least one upper (10) and at least one lower (11) climate zone and forms a tight partition between the climate zones. The climate screen (12) is located at such at height in the crawl space (2) that the outdoor air vents (9) in the foundation walls (1) communicate with only the lower climate zone (11). The upper climate zone (10) is provided with at least one supply air opening (18) which is connected to a room above in the building, and an exhaust air opening (21; 22) which is connected to a discharge duct (23; 24).
