  • Patent number: 11045661
    Abstract: A method of biostimulating phototherapy is provided. The method comprises illuminating a subject's body portion with light having a first wavelength in the range of 600-900 nm. The method further comprises the step of at least one of reducing and preventing hyperthermia of the body portion by illuminating the body portion with light having a second wavelength which is at least one of in the range of 400-600 nm and in the range of 900-2500 nm. Further, a phototherapy device is provided which comprises a first light source and a second light source. The first light source is configured to emit light having a first wavelength which is in the range of 600-900 nm. The second light source is configured to emit light having a second wavelength which is at least one of in the range of 400-600 nm and in the range of 900-2500 nm. At least a portion of the device is a patch which is formed for conforming to at least part of the body portion.

  • Patent number: 10883706
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lighting device, which comprises a structure of interconnected sleeves and a light emitting arrangement arranged inside the sleeves. The structure forms a polygon mesh and light sources on the light emitting arrangement can be positioned by the structure so that the problem of glare can be reduced. The present invention also provides a sound-absorbing, flexible and collapsible structure which can be used in e.g. large scale architectural panels, horticulture and phototherapy devices. The lighting device can be produced by connecting the sleeves with thermoplastic material or by sewing.

  • Patent number: 10384076
    Abstract: A flexible light therapy device, a bandage and a plaster for providing a therapeutic effect to a treatment target area (226) of a living being are provided. The flexible light therapy device comprises a light source (214) for emitting light (220), a light transmitting element (212) and a heat management means (210). The light transmitting element (212) is of a flexible light transmitting material and is optically coupled to the light source (214). The light transmitting element (212) comprises a light exit window (222) to emit the light (220) towards the treatment target area (226). The heat management means (210) is thermally coupled to the treatment target area (226) and distributes heat and controls the distribution of heat across the treatment target area (226). Part of the distributed heat may originate from the light source (214).

  • Patent number: 9929875
    Abstract: A space control system and a detection system are disclosed. The detection system is configured for distinguishing a moving living object, e.g. a human being, from a moving machine object in a space. The system comprises an imaging apparatus configured for producing a plurality of images over time of at least a part of the space. The images have a good spatial resolution. The system also comprises a processor configured for determining motion signals of the moving living object and the moving machine object from the plurality of images. The processor is configured to transform the motion signals to a frequency domain and distinguish in the frequency domain between motion signals related to moving living objects and motion signals related to the moving machine objects. Accordingly, the system is enabled to detect at least one of the living object and the machine object in the part of the space on the basis of the distinguished motion signals.

  • Patent number: 9232637
    Abstract: A knitted substrate (4; 16) for electrical connection of electronic components (3; 17a-f) thereto. The knitted substrate comprises a first set of substrate portions (5a-e; 9a-f) knitted with a first stitch pattern resulting in a first tensile stiffness; and a second set of substrate portions (6a-f; 18a-f) knitted with a second stitch pattern resulting in a second tensile stiffness that is greater than the first tensile stiffness. A substrate portion of the first set of substrate portions (5a-e; 19a-f) is provided between substrate portions (6a-f; 18a-f) of the second set of substrate portions, and each substrate portion of the second set of substrate portions (6a-f; 18a-f) comprises conductive yarns (11a-b) arranged to allow electrical connection of at least one of the electronic components (3; 17a-f) thereto.
