  • Patent number: 9084329
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control device adapted to control properties of light emitted from a light source. The control device may comprise a touch-sensitive user interface adapted to visually indicate a range of available values representing at least one of the properties and to enable a user to control the represented property on the basis of a location touched on the touch-sensitive user interface. The controlled property may be adjusted by means of a communication unit adapted to communicate to the light source control signals corresponding to user input. The user interface may comprise at least one discontinuity-indicating element adapted to visually indicate a step discontinuity in the range of available values representing the at least one property.

  • Patent number: 8881064
    Abstract: A method of providing a user interface for controlling a system (1;27) includes observing a presence of a body or body part of a user in a certain environment of a device (6,14-17;30). At least a perceptible part (28,34) of the user interface is made available to the user in association with a particular functionality for interacting with the system (1;27) controlled by the user interface in dependence on a rate of displacement of the body or body part of the user observed in the certain environment.

  • Patent number: 8867685
    Abstract: A delay-locked loop, including a phase detector configured to receive two signals, one of the signals being delayed relative to the other of the signals, the phase detector having an UP output and a DOWN output. The delay-locked loop also includes a charge pump system operatively coupled with the phase detector, the charge pump system including (1) a charge pump configured to be responsive to assertion of actuating signals from the UP output and the DOWN output so as to control pumping of charge from the charge pump system, such pumped charge being usable to control a delay line carrying one of the two signals, so as to control relative delay occurring between the two signals; and (2) a feedback control loop configured to dynamically adjust at least one bias signal at the charge pump so as to minimize net charge pumped from the charge pump system during simultaneous assertion of actuating signals from the UP output and the DOWN output.

  • Patent number: 8497639
    Abstract: The invention provides a lighting device comprising a housing. The housing comprises visible-light sources (10) arranged to generate visible light (11), UV-lightsources (12) arranged to generate UV-light (13), a light exit window (14) positioned to allow transmission of the visible light (11), a photochromic layer (16) positioned upstream of the light exit window (14) and downstream of the visible light sources (10), the photochromic layer (16) comprising at least one area with UV-photochromic material (15), the UV-photochromic material (15) having a first color state and a second color state, and a control unit (40) connected to the UV-light sources (12) for controlling the UV-light sources (12), wherein the UV-light sources are arranged to illuminate the photochromic layer (16). The invention makes it possible to obtain dynamic light effects.
