Patent number: 10076281Abstract: A sleep monitoring device (100) is disclosed for measuring a biophysical variable (131) of a living-being (150), comprising at least two pressure sensors (101-103) spatially arranged in a predefined planar geometry. The living-being rests on the supporting layer (199) contacted by the sensors that generate sensor signals in response to pressure caused by the living being via the supporting layer. A processing unit (110) determines the position of the living-being on the supporting layer based on differences between the sensor signals; a magnitude attenuation factor is determined based on the position of the living-being and a position of a sensor; the biophysical variable is determined from a sensor signal generated by that sensor, including a magnitude correction based on the magnitude attenuation factor. The effect of the invention is that only few sensors are needed to measure a biophysical variable accurately, irrespective of the living-being's position on the supporting layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2014Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Igor Berezhnyy, Erik Gosuinus Petrus Schuijers, Pedro Miguel Fonseca

Publication number: 20120097749Abstract: A basic idea of the invention is to use different properties of light (101), such as e.g. intensity and color temperature, to influence physiological thermoregulating parameters of a vertebrate (102), for example a human being, being exposed to the light. At least one particular physiological thermoregulating parameter (e.g. skin temperature) of an individual is being measured and supplied to a controller (103) for comparison with a desired target value of the measured parameter. The property of light can then be adjusted to regulate the actual value of the thermoregulating parameter of the individual being exposed to the light. Thus, a dynamic device (100) for influencing the thermoregulation of an individual by using different properties of light is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2010Publication date: April 26, 2012Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Tatiana Aleksandrovna Lashina, Igor Berezhnyy, Lucas Josef Maria Schlangen, Johannes Petrus Wilhelmus Baaijens, Simone Helina Maria Poort
