  • Publication number: 20180146526
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting system (1) comprising a lighting device (6) having a first USB-PD connector and a power providing unit, which is preferentially a component of a power providing device (4) and which is operable in different operational modes. A second USB-PD connector is electrically connected with the power providing unit and adapted to be connected with the first USB-PD connector for generating a USB-PD connection (5) via which power and optionally also data are receivable by the lighting device. A connection feature value being indicative of a feature of the connection is determined and the operational mode of the power providing unit is controlled depending on the determined connection feature value. This allows for a reaction on the current connection situation. For instance, if the connection feature value indicates a relatively low thermal coupling, the power providing unit may provide less power.

  • Patent number: 9587819
    Abstract: A heat transfer device for transferring heat to a housing, comprising a heat spreader, at least one heat transfer plate mechanically connected to the heat spreader so as to be resiliently compressible towards the heat spreader when brought into contact with the housing, and at least one heat pipe thermally connected to each heat transfer plate and to the heat spreader. The resilient compressibility of the heat transfer plates makes the heat transfer device flexible, such that it may adapt to a different shape of housing. In contrast to known thermal interfaces, the thermal interface of the heat transfer device of the invention is not mechanically connected to the housing in which it is used, but connected to the heat spreader, and may instead be pressed into contact with the housing, without mechanical fixation.
