Patent number: 11318319Abstract: An implantable stimulator is provided having a conformable foil-like substrate, having a longitudinal axis extending from a pulse generator to a distal end of the substrate. The substrate comprising one or more adjacent polymeric substrate layers and an electrode array. The electrode array having a first and second electrode where one or more electrical interconnections are comprised in the substrate. The conformable foil-like substrate has a maximum thickness of 0.5 millimeter or less, proximate the electrodes. By providing a more easily patternable multilayer substrate, more complicated electrode array configurations may be supported, allowing a higher degree of flexibility to address transverse and/or longitudinal misalignment. By providing a relatively thin implantable electrode array user comfort may be increased through application of energy to tissue by the implantable stimulator.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Salvia BioElectronics B.V.Inventors: Daniel Willem Elisabeth Schobben, Hubert Cecile Francois Martens

Patent number: 10687403Abstract: An adaptive lighting system (100), a (virtual) mirror arrangement, a method of controlling light sources of an adaptive light sources, a method of controlling a virtual mirror and a computer program product are provided. The adaptive lighting system is for a mirror component that is configured to show a mirror image of the user at the mirror surface of the mirror component. The adaptive lighting system comprises a plurality of individually controllable light sources (111 . . . 119), a sensor (102), and a controller (104). The sensor detects a relative orientation of the head of the user with respect to the mirror surface. The controller generates control signals (121 . . . 129) for the individually controllable light sources on the basis of the sensor signal. The controller generates the control signals to obtain a lower emission of light towards eyes of the user if the sensor signal indicates that the head is turned left sidewards, upwards, right sidewards and/or downwards.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2017Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Frederik Jan De Bruijn, Vincentius Paulus Buil, Karl Catharina Van Bree, Leo Jan Velthoven, Daniel Willem Elisabeth Schobben
