Patent number: 8529105Abstract: This invention relates to thermal management for removing heat generated by a heat source (110). This is done by a combination of a heat conducting member (120), which is thermally connected to the heat source in one end and to a remotely arranged heat sink (130) in the opposite end, and a synthetic jet actuator (140). The synthetic jet actuator is arranged to provide active cooling directly onto the heat source by generating and directing an air flow towards the heat source. The synthetic jet actuator comprises a resonator cavity housing (150) and an oscillating member (160). The oscillator member is arranged at least partly inside said resonator cavity. The combination of the heat conducting member and the synthetic jet actuator provides a highly efficient cooling.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2009Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Georges Marie Calon, Ronaldus Maria Aarts, Peter Alexander Wachters, Antonius Adrianus Maria Marinus, Reinhold Elferich, Hugo Johan Cornelissen, Clemens Johannes Maria Lasance

Publication number: 20120165907Abstract: The invention relates to a light treatment system (10, 12). The light treatment system comprises a light source (20, 22) for emitting light (100) for illuminating a part of a human or animal body (30) for light treatment. The light treatment system further comprises a housing (40, 42) for emitting light towards the part of the human or animal body, and for at least partially covering the illuminated part of the human or animal body from view. The housing further comprises a window (50, 52, 54, 56) for emitting light from an inner part of the housing away from the housing. An effect of the light treatment system according to the invention is that the window in the housing may be used as indicator whether the light treatment system is operating and/or functioning well. Furthermore, the presence of a luminescent material, for example, on the window, may be used as indicator for, for example, ultraviolet light as part of the ultraviolet light may be converted by the luminescent material into visible light.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2010Publication date: June 28, 2012Inventors: Giovanna Wagenaar Cacciola, Georges Marie Calon, Ian Edward Ashdown, Damien Gerard Loveland, Adriaantje Pieternella Mouws-Van Rossum, Antonius Adrianus Maria Mouws, Claudia Mutter
