  • Patent number: 9929598
    Abstract: A power supplying device is provided for providing electrical power to a power receiving device, the power supplying device comprising two plates, two electrode structures being arranged to be coupled to an AC power source and at least one power transmitter. Each electrode structure is attached to one of said two plates. The power transmitter is situated in between the two plates and comprises an electrically conductive coil and at least two electrical contacts coupled to the electrically conductive coil. The plates and the power transmitter are arranged such that the power transmitter is movable in a direction parallel to the surfaces of the plates with the electrical contacts in contact with the respective two electrode structures for obtaining power from the AC power source.

  • Patent number: 9476551
    Abstract: A non-transparent light-emitting construction element (100; 200; 300; 400), comprising: a construction element having a mounting side and a user-facing side (104; 204; 304) to be facing a user when the light-emitting construction element is used in a construction; and a light-emitter (108; 404) embedded in the construction element, wherein the light-emitter is embedded in the construction element in such a way that the light-emitter is non-visible in its off-state and light from the light-emitter escapes from the construction element when the light-emitter is in its on-state.

  • Patent number: 9357613
    Abstract: The invention provides a display and lighting arrangement (100) comprising a display unit (110), a sensor system (120), a control unit (130) and a lighting system (140), wherein the sensor system (120) is configured to sense a person (1) in a predetermined area (2) and to generate a corresponding sensor system signal. The lighting system (140) comprises a first light source (141) configured to provide front face light (41) to the person (1) and a second light source (142) configured to provide top light (42) to the person (1) in the predetermined area (2). The control unit (130) is configured to derive a person feature from the sensor system signal and to control, based on the person feature, the light (41) of the first light source (141) and the light (42) of the second light source (142). The display unit (110) is configured to display an image (5) of the person (1) located in the predetermined area (2) to the person (1) in the predetermined area (2).
