Patent number: 9616661Abstract: An inkjet device for controlled positioning of a droplet of a substance onto a substrate includes a print head having a nozzle configured to eject the droplet. A camera is configured to detect and generate images of the droplet after ejection of the droplet from the nozzle. If the droplet volume, velocity, flight path, viscosity or surface tension start to deviate from preset values, a computer is configured to correct for this in a closed loop manner. If the droplet fails to eject, the computer is configured to stop the inkjet device and an operator can maintain the print head. The computer is configured to determine viscosity and surface tension of the droplet from characteristics of the droplet identified from the droplet images, and the computer is configured to control the positioning of the droplet onto the substrate during the printing process based on the determined viscosity and surface tension.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2006Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Anke Pierik, Antonius Johannes Jo Wismans, Willem-Jan A.

Patent number: 9602204Abstract: Proposed is a light module (110) comprising at least two primary light sources (111,112,113) capable of emitting a primary color light. This allows the light module to emit light having intensity (Y) and color coordinates (x,y) through additive color mixing of the constituent primary colors. The light module further comprises an modulator (115) capable of modulating the primary light sources enabling embedment of data in the light emitted. The modulator (115) is arranged to modulate the color coordinates of the light emitted for embedding the data. This is especially advantageous as the sensitivity of the human eye to changes in color is lower than to changes in intensity. The invention thus advantageously allows embedding the data into the light emitted from the light modules (110) of an illumination system (100) without reducing the performance of its primary function as an aid to human vision.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Tim Corneel Wilhelmus Schenk, Lorenzo Feri, Paulus Henricus Antonius Damink, Martin Maurice Vernhout, Dragan Sekulovski
