  • Reliable reporting in wireless mesh network
    Patent number: 10939353
    Abstract: In a wireless mesh network, a battery operated node can select a parent node via which messages are routed to further nodes. The parent node can initially be selected based on signal strength. The node receives acknowledgements for messages sent, if they arrive. The node calculates a reliability indicator of the parent node based on the number of messages for which an acknowledgement has been received. If the reliability indicator exceeds a predetermined threshold the node selects a new parent node, based on second selection criteria. For example, the node with the next greatest signal strength.

  • Lighting device and lighting system
    Patent number: 10228100
    Abstract: A lighting device (10) is disclosed comprising a flexible arrangement including a chain of strips (11) wherein respective end portions of neighboring strips (11) are interconnected by a hinging joint (13) and a plurality of LEDs (15) positioned at regular intervals along the flexible arrangement. The pitch of the LEDs (15) in such a lighting device (10) may be adjusted by adjusting the angle between neighboring strips (11) interconnected by a hinging joint (13). A lighting system (100) comprising such lighting devices (10) and a central controller (110) is also disclosed.
