  • Publication number: 20250301551
    Abstract: Lighting system and method for lighting a traffic surface comprising at least one luminaire with an optical unit, and a controller for controlling said optical unit; at least one sensor for sensing data related to an event in the vicinity of the traffic surface and/or a receiver for receiving data related to said event. The lighting system is configured for determining the occurrence of an event in the vicinity of and/or on the traffic surface based on the sensed data and/or the received data. When the occurrence of an event has been determined, the light output of the optical unit is controlled according to a first light configuration to form at least one strip light pattern on the traffic surface extending in a width direction substantially perpendicular to a predetermined direction of the traffic surface. An optical unit configured for outputting a strip light pattern is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10892571
    Abstract: An arrangement for connecting a coaxial cable (500) to a connector, wherein the coaxial cable (500) comprises at least one metal braid layer (506) surrounding inner parts of the cable (500) and an outer insulating layer (508) surrounding said at least one metal braid layer (506); the connector comprises a ferrule (512) to be arranged in electrical contact with said at least one metal braid layer (506) and means (514, 516) for applying a pressure force (522) to the outer insulating layer (508) of the coaxial cable (500) in a position of said electrical contact; and a silicone sleeve (520) is arranged between said means (514, 516) for applying a pressure force (522) and the outer insulating layer (508) of the coaxial cable (500) in a position that, when said inner parts (502, 504) of the cable (500) are inserted within the ferrule (512), said pressure force (522) is applied to the silicone sleeve (508).

  • Patent number: 10530074
    Abstract: A coaxial cable connector (610) for connecting a coaxial cable (600), wherein the connector (610) comprises an elongated ferrule (612) arranged to be configured in electrical contact with at least one metal braid layer (606) of the coaxial cable (600); a compression fitting (614) arranged around said ferrule (612); and means (618) for applying a pressure force to the compression fitting (614) such that a surface (614a) of the compression fitting (614) applies a force to an outer insulating layer (608) of the coaxial cable (600) surrounding said at least one metal braid layer (608) substantially over the whole length of said surface (614a) of the compression fitting (614).
