Abstract: To improve the illumination efficiency of hand-held illumination devices, this invention proposes a new illumination device having the “rolling” function, which is capable of illuminating the target area on which a user is currently focusing and rolling the illuminated area as the user is reading forward or backward. The illumination device comprises two pluralities of lighting elements, an illuminating body and a controller. The controller can control one plurality of lighting elements to emit light to illuminate a part of the illuminating body, which can further deflect the light to a part of the surface of the target.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first holder configured to hold a light source and having an interface for receiving power to feed to said light source, 1 and a light guide plate configured to be coupled to said first holder and guide light emitted by the light source out from at least one surface of the light guide plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an illumination device (10) for illuminating a surface, with a lighting element (20) and an illuminating body (30), wherein the lighting element (20) emits an artificial light (21,21?), a housing element (40) comprises the lighting element (20) and supports the illuminating body (30), the illuminating body (30) comprises a transparent light conductive material and is generally overlying the surface, being illuminated. The invention discloses, that the illuminating body (30) comprises a light extraction layer (50), configured to receive and to deflect the artificial light (21,21?) from the lighting element (20) onto the surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for separating space, which can be used as a blade of a window blind, a room divider and a workspace divider etc. The apparatus (100) for separating space comprises a first holder (101), configured to hold a light source (103) and comprising an interface (1011) for receiving power to feed to said light source (103); and a light guide plate (102), configured to be coupled to said first holder (101) and guide light emitted by said light source (103) out from at least one surface (1021/1022) of said light guide plate 102. By applying the apparatus (100) of the present invention, the power source and the light source are separated. The light source (103) is integrated into the apparatus (100) and the power can be easily fed to the light source via the interface (1011) of the first holder (101).

Abstract: The invention relates to a window blind (10) with at least one lamella (25) and at least one lighting element (20), wherein the lamella (25) comprises an illuminating body (30), the lighting element (20) injects an artificial light (21) into the illuminating body (30), the illuminating body (30) comprises a light guiding material, configured to transport the artificial light (21), the illuminating body (30) comprises a light extraction means (40), configured to receive and to deflect the artificial light (21) out of the illuminating body (30). The invention discloses, that the light extraction means (40) is embedded within the illuminating body (30), and the light extraction means (40) is controllable, in order to vary the degree of deflection of the artificial light (21).

Abstract: To solve or mitigate the problem of lacking the “last mile” connection to a power grid, the invention provides a power supply apparatus for supplying electric energy to a plurality of devices. The apparatus comprises a power dock (130) configured to electrically couple to a power pack (110), wherein the power pack is configured to store electric energy; and a plurality of connectors each being configured to supply electric energy from the power dock to one of the plurality of devices (132, 134, 136). By utilizing the power pack, particularly a removable super capacitor (112), accessing power becomes easier for those people living away from power grids or suffering from an unstable power supply.

Abstract: A method and a system (10) which is capable of being implemented as a children's' toy. The system (10) is operable to interface an add-on device (20a) or a story to an interactive environment hosted by the system (10). The system (10) includes a response engine (30) which is operable to receive notification (225) from add-on devices introduced to the system (10). The response engine is operable to generate challenges (235) to the add-on devices (20a) wherein the challenges include watermarks embedded therein. The response engine (30) is operable to receive corresponding responses sent from the add-on devices (20a) in response to the challenges (235). Moreover, the response engine (30) is further operable to analyze the corresponding responses to determine whether or not the add-on devices (20a) are able to extract the watermarks correctly from the challenges (235) in generating the corresponding responses.
