Patent number: 9574740Abstract: Devices (100) comprise light sources (1) for producing light into directional ranges (70) and light blockers (10) for blocking the light in parts (71) of the directional ranges (70). The light blockers (10) have inner sides (11) and outer sides (12), and are made of materials having optical indices. Combinations of shapes of the outer sides (12) and the optical indices will reflect the light in the parts (71) of the directional ranges (70) at the outer sides (12), for example back to the light sources (1). The shapes of the outer sides (12) may be saw tooth shapes, the optical indices may be larger than 1.4, total reflection may take place for the light in the parts (71) of the directional ranges (70) when incoming at angles smaller than 40° with sides (14, 15) of saw teeth (13) of the saw tooth shapes. Shapes of the inner sides (11) may correspond with shapes of light output graphs of the light sources (1) in the parts (71) of the directional ranges (70).Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2012Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Lieve Lea Andrea Lanoye, Filip Marcel Denise Bruyneel, Benoit Didier Raphael Catteau, Etienne Edmond Marie Van Durme

Patent number: 9440412Abstract: The invention relates to an illuminating web, characterized in that it is flame-retarded by a flame-retardant composition impregnated into the bulk of the illuminating web and/or included in a coating on at least one face of the illuminating web. The illuminating web exhibits an improved performance in terms of reaction toward fire. It is better suited to the standards in force as regards reaction to fire. It also exhibits an advantageous illuminating performance and has good acoustic properties, when it incorporates a support appropriate for sound insulation. The invention also relates to an illuminating structure composed of said web added to a rigid or semirigid support. This structure can be used in particular as partition wall or ceiling in a building. With regard to the web proper, it can be used as painter's canvas or stretched fabric or part of these.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN PLACOInventors: Benoit Didier, Maud Sarrant-Foresti

Patent number: 8594234Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission apparatus having at least two transmission branches for transmitting respective transmission signals at substantially same frequencies, and to a method of controlling such a transmission apparatus. A first oscillator circuit (62) is provided for generating a first signal at a first frequency to be used in a first transmission branch. Additionally, a second oscillator circuit (64) is provided for generating a second signal at a second frequency to be used in a second transmission branch, the second frequency being different from the first frequency. To enable transmission of the transmission signals at said substantially same frequencies, at least one frequency divider or multiplier (72, 74) is provided for dividing or respectively multiplying at least one of said first and second frequencies by a respective predetermined factor. Thereby, the first and second oscillator circuits can be operated at different frequencies, so that mutual coupling can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2008Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Paulus Thomas Maria Van Zeijl, David Benoit Didier Duperray, Manel Collados Asensio
