  • Patent number: 7503600
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a locking arrangement by means of which two parts can be locked to each other, such as locking a door to its frame construction. The locking arrangement comprises a first locking element fastened to the lock unit, a second locking element fastened to the counter part and an acting element being preferably a part of the lock unit. The first and second locking elements are gripping brackets, forming a hooked grip with each other when the lock unit and the counter part are against each other, when, for example, the door is locked in its opening. The gripping brackets are essentially in the direction of the movement of the door. The task of the acting element is to keep the gripping brackets in an overlapping position when the locking arrangement is locked. The position of the acting can be changed, and the current state of the locking arrangement depends on the position.

  • Patent number: 6213615
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adjusting the colour temperature in a liquid crystal display with background lighting. According to the invention, the liquid crystal display is lit by two or more background light lamps with different colour temperatures (LAMP 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), the colour temperature range of the background light is extended and better opportunities for adjusting the colour temperature by changing the pass rate of the light are provided. In a more advanced solution, background light lamps with different colour temperatures (LAMP 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) are switched on (S1) separately for setting the colour temperature of the display, and furthermore, the brightness of the background light lamps (LAMP 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) with different colour temperatures can be adjusted separately for setting the colour temperature.
