Abstract: A system for inducing a subject to fall to sleep includes a light pattern generator for generating a time varying light pattern in view of the subject. Further, the system includes a breathing rate measuring unit for measuring a breathing frequency of the subject. In addition, the system includes a control unit connected to the breathing rate measuring unit and the light pattern generator, for controlling the light pattern generator such that the generated light pattern has a pattern frequency substantially between the measured breathing frequency and a pre-selected desired frequency.

Abstract: A system (100) for displaying information on a display device (104) comprises; receiving means (202) for receiving services; user interface means (220) for making a user selection of a type of information to be displayed on the display device (104); a filter (206) for selecting a data-element of a first one of the services on basis of the user selection; and rendering means (208) for calculating an output image to be displayed on the display device (104), on basis of output of the filter (206). The system (100) is designed to apply the filter (206) for selecting a second data-element of the second one of the services, on basis of the user selection, when being switched from the first one of the services to a second one of the services, with the data-element and the second data-element being mutually semantically related.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system (1) for inducing a subject to fall to sleep, comprising a light pattern generator (3) for generating a time varying light pattern in view of the subject. Further, the system comprises a breathing rate measuring unit (2) for measuring a breathing frequency of the subject. In addition, the system comprises a control unit connected to the breathing rate measuring unit and the light pattern generator, for controlling the light pattern generator (3), such that the generated light pattern has a pattern frequency (13) substantially between the measured breathing frequency (8) and a pre-selected desired frequency (5).

Abstract: An image display unit (100) displays an image on a display device (406), like a plasma display panel, in a number of sub-fields (204-218). The image display unit can perform motion compensation to reduce motion artifacts. This motion compensation is performed by applying a spatial offset to the sub-fields. The image display unit is designed to perform the operations for motion compensation on operands with various granularity, with the granularity of the operands ranging from one sub-field individually to a group of sub-fields together. An embodiment of the image display unit includes an analyzer (110) for estimating the available capacity of a computing unit (108) in a predetermined period of time, in order to determine the granularity of the operands to perform the operations for motion compensation.
