  • Publication number: 20190391335
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a time division multiplexing closed loop feedback thermal control method and system, and the method is applicable to a system comprising k integrated photonic devices. The method comprises: acquiring, by a temperature control unit, refractive index information of an i-th integrated photonic device in a time division multiplexing manner, refractive indexes of the integrated photonic devices varying with temperature, 1?i?k; and adjusting, by the temperature control unit, a temperature of the i-th integrated photonic device when the refractive index of the i-th integrated photonic device is not equal to a desired value to control the refractive index of the i-th integrated photonic device to be maintained at the desired value. When the integrated chip includes multiple photonic devices, a temperature control unit is shared in a time division multiplexing manner, which reduces the overall power consumption of the system.

  • Publication number: 20170005860
    Abstract: This invention generally relates to commissioning in Zigbee Light Link (ZLL) networks. The proposed solution takes advantage of the existing Touchlink procedure in order to enable a controller device joining a ZLL network without having to Touchlink with every single lighting devices comprised in the ZLL network. This way, the one or more lighting devices of the ZLL network may be directly controlled by the newly joined controller device after a single Touchlink thanks to the introduction of a commissioning device. The commissioning device may be configured to provide specific joining information and binding information to the controller device. Further, a timer in the commissioning device may be triggered to lapse after a given period of time where the controller may be disconnected from the ZLL network.
