INTELLIGENT HUMAN CENTRIC LIGHTING SYSTEM WITH AMBIENT LIGHT MONITORING OF LIGHTING SITE ENVIRONMENT
Publication number: 20230380038Abstract: A system for automatically adjusting the lighting parameters of a space is disclosed herein. The control module sets the target lighting parameters in the space and drive the smart lamp groups to illuminate by using the preset light recipe and to control the smart lamp groups to perform the illumination. The control module compares an ambient light detection value in the actual environment with the target value. When the ambient light detection value is not the same as the target value, the control module drives the ambient light sensor module performs a dimming procedure to the smart lamp groups. Wherein, the dimming procedure includes the step of adjusting an illuminance uniformity of the space according to the actual illuminance detected by the ambient light sensor module.

Publication number: 20040018450Abstract: A method for transferring patterns. After a patterned photoresist is formed on a substrate, the patterned photoresist is hardened, and the pattern of the hardened patterned photoresist is transferred into the substrate. Moreover, a popular method to harden is the silylation process, it is acceptable to only harder the top of the patterned photoresist or to harden both the top and the sidewall of the patterned photoresist. Besides, it is optional to change the thickness and the critical dimension of the patterned photoresist before it is hardened. Significantly, because the etch resistance of hardened patterned photoresist is higher than that of the non-hardened patterned photoresist, the method can improve any defect induced by etched photoresist during the pattern transferring process. Similarly, because a thinner non-hardened photoresist is available for the method, a smaller critical dimension of the patterned photoresist is available for the method while the photolithography technology being not improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2002Publication date: January 29, 2004Applicant: UNITED MICROLECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Cheng-Yu Fang, Chih-Hsien Huang, Lawrence Lin, Jui-Tsen Huang
