Patent number: 9750447Abstract: In summary the invention utilizes a patient's interaction with a user interface 120 of a controllable lighting system 100. The user interface enables light characteristics of the lighting system 100 to be adjusted such as the light color emitted from a light source 110 of the lighting system 100. A monitor 130 is provided for monitoring how the patient interacts with the user interface 120, e.g. by monitoring how frequent the patient interacts with the user interface, the monitored number of interactions may be processed by a processor 140 to determine a value of the coping style which indicates how active or passive the patient is.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2012Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Paul Marcel Carl Lemmens, Murray Fulton Gillies, Juergen Vogt

Publication number: 20170240368Abstract: A method for winding up a glass ribbon is provided, in which, prior to winding up the glass ribbon, the two surfaces of the glass ribbon are each initially treated with a water-containing medium and subsequently dried so as to produce a defined content of water molecules on the two surfaces, by achieving a saturation of the surfaces of the glass ribbon with water, without bringing about an excess of water molecules. A glass roll is produced in which the electrostatic charge of the glass surface is reduced and, as a result, any undesired excess adherence of the glass surface to an interleaf material is prevented and, in this way, glass breakage, in particular during winding up and/or unwinding of the glass roll, can be markedly reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2016Publication date: August 24, 2017Applicant: SCHOTT AGInventors: Thomas Roßmeier, Matthias Jotz, Thomas Wiegel, Clemens Ottermann, Jürgen Vogt

Publication number: 20170057860Abstract: An improved method and an improved apparatus are provided for producing a thin glass ribbon, which provide borders at the edges of the ribbon. The edges formed are of high mechanical quality and a formation of new secondary borders after the severing or at least the thickness of such secondary borders is reduced compared to the original borders. The method includes drawing the thin glass ribbon from a molten glass or from a preform, severing the borders, and cooling the resulting glass ribbon. The severing is effected at a location along the moving direction of the thin glass ribbon and at a time at which during the cooling of the thin glass ribbon the viscosity of the glass is in a range from 107 dPa·s to 1011 dPa·s, so that the edges of the thin glass ribbon newly produced by the severing of the borders are rounded off.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Applicant: SCHOTT AGInventors: Andreas HABECK, Thomas ROSSMEIER, Jürgen VOGT, Ulrich LANGE, Stephan ZACHMANN, Thomas WIEGEL

Patent number: 9368709Abstract: An actuator comprises an electroactive polymer layer (402) and a stretchable electrode structure (403) disposed at a first side of the electroactive polymer layer and further a counter electrode layer (401) disposed on a second side of the electroactive polymer layer, wherein the ratio YC/YEAP of the elastic modulus YC of the counter electrode layer and the elastic modulus YEAP of the electroactive polymer layer is at least 10. When compressed transversally by the electrodes, the electroactive polymer will expand tangentially and the actuator will relax into a shape wherein the interior of the electroded region is substantially recessed parallel to the plane of the device, while a substantial portion of the area increase is absorbed by out-of-plane bends arising at the electrode boundary (duck mode). The invention can be embodied as optically reflective or refractive devices with variable geometry.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2011Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Dirk Brokken, Hendrik De Koning, Wendy Mirelle Martam, Floris Maria Hermansz Crompvoets, Juergen Vogt, Frank Vossen

Patent number: 9192022Abstract: The invention relates to a control system (100) for an ambient light environment in a room in a hospital environment. The control system is configured to time and synchronize light effects of the ambient light environment (170, 190) in response to sensor signals (111-113) from patient location sensors (121) or other sensors (122,123) for detecting if a clinical instrument is activated, moved or taken into use or for detecting heart rate. Light effects may be used by the clinical personnel to improve quality and speed of the examination and to create a calming atmosphere for the patient. However, different light effects are required at different times and for different durations. Therefore, timing of the light effects relative to sensor signals may improve workflow and patient comfort.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Murray Fulton Gillies, Tim Johannes Willem Tijs, Juergen Vogt, Harold Agnes Wilhelmus Schmeitz, Ewa Aurelia Miendlarzewska, Gijs Antonius Franciscus Van Elswijk, Marek Janusz Bartula
