Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques are provided for operating a display and/or an illumination source based upon the direction of a user's gaze and/or a desired illumination level in a monitored area. One or more elements may be controlled with sensor input and application lighting preferences. For example, when a user receives a video call, light may be activated to illuminate their face. When the user is looking at the display, the display will be at the brightness necessary for the lighting conditions. When the user looks away from the screen, the screen may dim further and the lighting elements for the desk can brighten. Similarly, embodiments may adjust the lighting in a monitored location based upon lighting levels identified in other areas.

Abstract: An implantable controllable fluid flow valve structure for location within an anatomical tube such as a vein or artery, or between apertures in the walls of a vein and artery, is described. The structure has a relatively rigid tubular housing 1 with a tubular elastic cylindrical member 2 within it where the ends of the cylindrical member 2 are attached to the interior wall of the tubular housing 1. The space between the housing wall and the elastic cylindrical member can be increased, for example by pumping fluid 8 under pressure into it, which causes the elastic cylindrical member 2 to distend and thus reduce the flow cross-section of the valve. Mechanical means may be used to effect such distention. The valve structure is particularly useful for use as a valve to control flow through an arteriovenous fistula made surgically, and can also be used as an artificial sphincter.

Abstract: A luminaire includes a support, a lens, an LED sheet, a top cover, a driver, an end bracket, and an end cap. The lens is connected to the support. The LED sheet is connected to the support between the lens and the support. The LED sheet has a plurality of LEDs, wherein a first LED is positioned in a first direction and a second LED is positioned in a second direction different from said first direction. The top cover is connected to the support. The driver is positioned in the support and electrically connected to the plurality of LEDs. The end bracket is connected to the support and the end cap is connected to the support covering the end bracket.

Abstract: The creation of arteriovenous fistulas in renal dialysis patients is associated with various problems. By placing a valve which can control the blood flow between artery and vein, material improvements in renal dialysis patient care can be achieved. In a preferred embodiment, the valve is mounted on a ring located around an aperture in the side of an asymmetrically expanded stent set in the artery. Novel stents, valve structures and valve ring insertion arrangements are also described.

Abstract: A transparent emissive device is provided. The device may include one or more OLEDs having an anode, a cathode, and an organic emissive layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. In some configurations, the OLEDs may be non-transparent. The device may also include one or more locally transparent regions, which, in combination with the non-transparent OLEDs, provides an overall device transparency of 5% or more.
