Nathan Dyck has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11910507
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an interactive modular lighting system are described. The lighting systems enable users to dynamically build a luminaire through a modular joining of individual light-emitting units, however such that risk of electrical failure is automatically prevented through a dynamic computation of electrical circuit properties and dynamic configuration of components. Additionally, lighting systems with granular and configurable touch sensing are described, wherein a user's interaction with the lighting system can be coupled to actuation of properties of the lighting system or of properties of other devices in communication with the lighting system. Illustrative embodiments of applications of said lighting systems in smart home and gaming are provided.

  • Publication number: 20230161097
    Abstract: A series of interconnected (directly or indirectly), coupled lighting panels is provided, the coupled lighting panels linked to one another such that various shapes and designs can be created using various arrangements of the coupled lighting panels, the lighting panels of some embodiments adapted to avoid dark spots proximate to lighting circuitry disposed therein. The lighting panels can be luminaires, and may be provided in various geometric shapes, having various dimensionalities (e.g., a flat 2 dimensional shape, or a 3 dimensional shape). Various control systems, connectors, housings, frames, and lighting systems are also described.

  • Publication number: 20220286315
    Abstract: Improved systems are directed to electronic devices that operate in conjunction with a control mechanism and various sensors. A learning protocol is established to provide a technical solution whereby sensor signal from the various sensors is utilized to implement an incremental approach to using sensed information. The electronic devices can be luminaires, and the control mechanism a lighting control mechanism. The sensing, for example, can include sensory information from at least one remote sensing device and at least one local sensing device to control changes in operation of one or more connected electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 11412598
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of controlling light output, and more specifically, embodiments relate to devices, systems and methods for modulating output brightness levels of a system based on ambient light input. In particular, systems and methods for compensating for light feedback are described, along with systems and methods for determining output lighting states based on relative light levels, and methods for calibration of self-feedback values.
