  • Publication number: 20230359057
    Abstract: Methods and systems for motion-corrected and motion-compensated laser speckle contrast imaging are disclosed which comprise exposing a target area to coherent first light of a first wavelength, the target area including living tissue, and capturing at least one sequence of images comprising first speckle images and determining one or more transformation parameters of an image registration algorithm for registering the first speckle images with each other. The transformation parameters may be based on a similarity measure of pixel values of groups of pixels in a plurality of images of the at least one sequence of images the images in the plurality of images being selected from the first speckle images or being associated with the first speckle images.

  • Patent number: 9775218
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing interaction with controllable lighting networks are disclosed. Particularly, a user's input regarding the user's preferred level of interaction with a controllable lighting network is used in conjunction with memories and processors, to selectively allow the controllable lighting network access to the user's personal data such as the user's identity or the user's personal lighting preferences. A user's preferred level of interaction with a controllable lighting network is also used, in conjunction with personal mobile electronic communication devices, to allow the user to control lighting within controllable lighting networks.

  • Patent number: 9437086
    Abstract: Light-based systems for communicating information associated with service orders and/or the identification of personal objects are disclosed. A personal mobile electronic communication device is used in conjunction with a communication network and a lighting controller to communicate service orders by lighting with one or more individually controllable luminaires in a lighting network. A personal mobile electronic communication device is, alternatively or additionally, used in conjunction with a communication network, and a lighting controller controlling an illumination proximate to the personal mobile electronic communication device such that the illumination proximate to the personal mobile electronic communication device visually indicates the service order.

  • Publication number: 20150369434
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a light guiding assembly (1) with a tubular member (2) for guiding light is provided. The light guiding assembly comprises a first layer (51, 61) having a first optical characteristic, the first layer being arranged on an inner wall (5) of the tubular member, and a second layer (52, 62) having a second optical characteristic, the second layer being adjustable at least with respect to the second optical characteristic and with respect to the extent of light allowed to be transmitted through the second layer. The second layer is coupled to a side of the first layer facing away from the inner wall. One of the first and second optical characteristics effects changing of the color of light guided in the tubular member, and the other one of the first and second optical characteristics effects reflection of light guided in the tubular member. Accordingly, the color of daylight guided through the tubular member can be tuned.

  • Publication number: 20150362143
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a lighting device (10) for a light guiding assembly (1) is provided. The lighting device is adapted to be arranged at an output end (4) of a tubular member (2) of the light guiding assembly. The lighting device comprises a light source (13), and a layer (11) adjustable at least with respect to reflection of light impinging thereon and with respect to the extent of light allowed to be transmitted through the layer. The layer is arranged to reflect light outputted from the output end of the tubular member when the layer has been adjusted so as to be at least partially reflective, and transmit light emitted by the light source through the layer when the layer has been adjusted so as to be at least partially light transmitting. The light redirected by the layer may be part of the illumination output by the light guiding assembly.

  • Publication number: 20150322712
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a control unit (130) adapted to be communicatively coupled to a window (110) is provided. The window is adapted to controllably effect changing of color temperature of light transmitted through the window. The control unit is configured to obtain a signal indicative of the color temperature of light which is to be, and/or has been, transmitted through the window, and control the window at least with respect to color temperature of light transmitted through the window based at least on the signal indicative of color temperature. With the present control unit, it may be possible to maintain a certain color temperature even if the color temperature of the light to be transmitted through the window changes.
