  • Patent number: 10736201
    Abstract: A luminaire driver apparatus for use with one or more light emitting diodes or other light sources, comprises voltage control circuitry configured to regulate a supply voltage to one or more light emitting diodes or other light sources; driving circuitry configured to provide a drive current to the one or more light emitting diodes or other light sources, the drive current being dependent on the supply voltage, wherein the driving circuitry is configured to modulate the drive current based on a modulated drive signal such that the one or more light emitting diodes or other light sources produces an optical signal, wherein at least one of the driving circuitry and control circuitry are operable to adapt to a plurality of different types of light emitting diode or other light source. Thereby providing a universal driver function.

  • Publication number: 20170251365
    Abstract: A light enabled security system for allowing a user device access to files or data on a network, each user device having a user ID and each file/data having a file/data ID. The system has a plurality of light enabled user access points for allowing access to the network via a light communication channel, each light enabled user access point being associated with a unique location ID, and each being operable to construct a network access request in response to a file/data request from a user device, the network access request including the user device ID, the unique user access point location ID and the requested file ID. The system is adapted to receive the network access request and use it to determine whether access to the file/data is allowed or denied based on the user ID, the location ID and the file ID.

  • Publication number: 20140099968
    Abstract: A method for scheduling users in a cellular environment such that a Pareto optimal power control can be applied, includes determining whether a set of users in the cellular environment fulfills a feasibility condition for the Pareto optimal power control, and in case the feasibility condition for the Pareto optimal power control is not fulfilled, modifying the SINR targets of the users such that the feasibility condition for the Pareto optimal power control is fulfilled.
