  • Patent number: 10009977
    Abstract: A control device of a luminaire includes a controller for controlling operation of the luminaire, which assumes a certain target lighting level as a response to a triggering local input signal. Through a communications module the device is configured to receive indication messages from the other devices. An adaptation module adjusts the operation of the control means in accordance with received indication messages. A relationship strength is determined, pertinent to a particular other device and indicative of regularity at which triggering local input signals have been observed after first receiving an indication message from said other device. The controller is reprogrammed to make the luminaire assume a preparatory lighting level as a response to receiving an indication message from said other device, the preparatory lighting level being dependent on the determined relationship strength.

  • Patent number: 9635153
    Abstract: A test adapter for an electronic product to be tested includes a support structure and a product stand supported on the support structure for the product. The product stand is supported to the support structure by a guide structure that controls the vertical movement of the product stand. The product stand is arranged with a direct or indirect pressing movement from above to be movable from a top position to its low position supported by the guide structure. The test adapter includes a retaining structure for retaining the product stand in the low position and for retaining a latch structure of the adapter in its locking position. The latch structure is arranged to lock the product to the product stand.
