Patent number: 8814374Abstract: A system for combining exterior light with artificial lighting, comprising a light shielding arrangement (2) for shielding exterior light from a space (5) and at least one light source (6) arranged to emit artificial light that is directed toward the exterior side of the light shielding arrangement (2), which light source (6) is controllable in response to current exterior lighting conditions. The system further comprises a controller (8) connected to said light source (6), which is arranged to control light emission of the light source (6) in response to a current position of the light shielding arrangement, so as to emulate an effect of exterior light escaping through the light shielding arrangement. The artificial light can thus be controlled (manually or automatically) to compensate for lack of sufficient exterior light, and the controller ensures that the artificial light is emitted in such a way as to be perceived as exterior light.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2011Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Lucas Leo Desiree Van Der Poel, Dorien Cato Van Der Lans

Publication number: 20100115837Abstract: A tray (200) for growing organic material comprising a plurality of LEDs (204) is disclosed. The tray (200) comprises an upper side (202) and a lower side (206). The upper side (202) is arranged to carry a substrate (210) for growing organic material and the lower side (206) is arranged to radiate the light generated by the LEDs (204). The tray (200) comprises a structure which enables the tray (200) to radiate more heat, generated by the LEDs (204), at the upper side(202) than at the lower side(206) of the tray(200). The tray(200) enables to provide an improved nursery assembly (100), wherein the soil with organic material is heated up with the heat generated by the LEDs (204). In this way, the heat is not wasted to heat up the air but is used to heat up the soil such that it can have a higher average temperature than the air above the organic material.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Lucas Leo Desiree Van Der Poel, Antonius Henricus Maria Raaijmakers

Publication number: 20080216367Abstract: The road-marking system for influencing the distance between vehicles (6, 6?, . . . ) traveling over a roadway (10) comprises: a plurality of road-marking units (3; 3?, 3?, . . . ; 4, 4?, . . . ), the road-marking units being provided with light means for emitting or reflecting light in the direction of a driver of the vehicle (6, 6?, . . . ). In operation, a set of the road-marking units (4, 4?, . . . ) is in an active state, while the remainder of the road-marking units (3; 3?, 3?, . . . ) is in an inactive state. The distance between the active road-marking units (4, 4?, . . . ) in the set is indicative of the desired distance between the vehicles (6, 6?, . . . ). Preferably, the light emitted or reflected by the set of active road-marking units (4, 4?, . . . ) is tuned in response to conditions during the day or during the night.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2004Publication date: September 11, 2008Applicant: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: Lucas Leo Desiree Van Der Poel
