  • Patent number: 11666728
    Abstract: A system to provide circadian-friendly lighting for nighttime hospital care comprising a lighting module and a transmitter tag that interface wirelessly wherein the lighting module comprises red-shifted light spectra, which is proven to be less disruptive to melatonin production than current blue-shifted hospital lighting; wherein the light output of the devices is modulated by the proximity of a tag to the device, with light intensity increasing with closer proximity between these two components and decreasing with increased distance, thereby providing hands-free lighting to caregivers in the specific locations where they need light to perform care tasks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 6, 2023
    Assignee: THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY

  • Patent number: 10423060
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a smile triggered device (1) for encouraging people to smile, the smile triggered device (1) comprising, a frame (2); a mirror (3) having at least one reflecting surface and installed into the frame (2); a switchable material (4) which can be switched to transparent or non-transparent state and covered on the reflecting surface of the mirror (3); a camera (5) capturing images of the user; a control unit (6) connected to the camera (5) and adapted to processes facial expressions of the user in real time for detecting whether the user smile or not, wherein the control unit (6) changing the state of the switchable material (4) to the transparent state by applying voltage thereto if a smile detected. The mirror (4) function of the smile triggered device (1) is maintained until the user changes his facial expression.
