Patent number: 7813061Abstract: The present invention relates to collecting sunlight and to transport said sunlight into a space. The sunlight collecting device comprises at least a first focusing lens and at least a first light collector. A first and a second movable sheet are provided with a first vertical distance from each other. A pendulum is provided to hold the focusing lens and to also be coupled to a first sheet by a first joint and to a second sheet by a second joint. Said first and second joint provides movement in at least two orthogonal directions.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2005Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Parans Solar Lighting ABInventor: Bengt Steneby

Publication number: 20100166365Abstract: An apparatus is presented for capture and transfer of sunlight. The apparatus comprises a light capturing section, an optical fibre which comprises a first end, a second end and a light transferring section arranged between the ends, which light transferring section along its entire length has an essentially constant crosssectional area and which first end is connected to the light capturing section, and a body with essentially the same refractive index as the light transferring section. The second end of the optical fibre is connected to a first end of the body, the second end of the body, which is opposite the first end of the body, has a larger crosssectional area than the light transferring section and first and second ends of the body are essentially plane parallel.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventor: Bengt Steneby

Patent number: 6676506Abstract: Arrangement for protecting floors above the crawl space and buildings on foundations of the crawl-space type from damp and microbial growth, where the crawl space (2) is delimited by the floor (4) above the crawl space of the building, bearing foundation walls (1) with vents (9) for outdoor air and the foundation ground (3). The arrangement comprises an essentially windtight and vapourtight climate screen (12) which is arranged in such a manner that it divides the crawl space (2) into at least one upper (10) and at least one lower (11) climate zone and forms a tight partition between the climate zones. The climate screen (12) is located at such at height in the crawl space (2) that the outdoor air vents (9) in the foundation walls (1) communicate with only the lower climate zone (11). The upper climate zone (10) is provided with at least one supply air opening (18) which is connected to a room above in the building, and an exhaust air opening (21; 22) which is connected to a discharge duct (23; 24).Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Inventors: Bengt Steneby, Torsten Mattsson
