  • PERFORMING VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION WITH A LIGHTING UNIT
    Publication number: 20230309210
    Abstract: A mechanism for performing a communication using a visible light communication (VLC) protocol. The mechanism proposes to modulate a bus voltage provided to all lighting elements (comprising LED elements) of a lighting unit, so that the magnitude of light emitted by all lighting elements is modulated according to a same modulation scheme. A lighting system having a plurality of lighting elements is also proposed.

  • Method of obtaining a desired state in a subject
    Patent number: 9398873
    Abstract: A method of obtaining a desired state in (22) a subject comprises measuring one or more physiological parameters of the subject (12), calculating, using the measured parameter(s), a value (38), determining if the calculated value (38) is to be modified, modifying the calculated value, if the determination is that the value is to be modified, and generating an output to the subject, the output being in proportion to the modified value (40). The step of modifying the calculated value, if the determination is that the value is to be modified,—can comprise accessing a modification scheme and modifying the calculated value according, to the modification scheme. One method of modifying the calculated value comprises amplifying the calculated value.
