Abstract: A video display device comprises an arrangement of light sources for displaying video content. Further, the video display device comprises a controller that is configured to control the light sources to display the video content. Further, the controller is configured to control the light sources according to strobe control information to perform a strobe effect by periodically switching the light sources between a first state and a second state, e.g., between a state of low brightness and a state of high brightness.

Abstract: The present invention relates light forming means for modifying a light beam. The light forming means comprises a number of annular gobo segments arranged partially around the center of the light forming means and each of the annular gobo segments has an angular extent allowing the light beam to be enclosed by the annular gobo segment. The light forming means comprises also an annular animation segment forming an annular segment of the light forming means, wherein the angular extent of the animation segment is at least twice as big as the annular extent of at least one of the annular gobo segments. The present invention relates also to a light effect system and illumination device comprising such light forming means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system configured to control a lighting of at least one light fixture, where the system comprises an audio mixing unit configured to mix audio signals, at least one actuating element provided to control the lighting of the at least one light fixture; and a first processing unit configured to determine an operating status of the at least one actuating element. The system furthermore comprises a light control unit configured to generate a light control signal for the at least one light fixture. The user of the system can use the actuating elements of the audio mixing unit to control the lighting control unit.

The light forming means comprises a number of annular gobo segments arranged partially around the center of the light forming means and each of the annular gobo segments has an angular extent allowing the light beam to be enclosed by the annular gobo segment. The light forming means comprises also an annular animation segment forming an annular segment of the light forming means, wherein the angular extent of the animation segment is at least twice as big as the annular extent of at least one of the annular gobo segments. The present invention relates also to a light effect system and illumination device comprising such light forming means.

Abstract: A primarily movement-based, biomechanically advanced interactive apparatus, that can be operated via simultaneous hand and feet action to encourage participation of all major joints/muscles of the body and which is designed to work with the body in motion.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of nucleic acid sequences coding for polygalacturonase in the control of dehiscence in plants. Plants transformed with such nucleic acid sequences are also disclosed.

Abstract: Recombinant or isolated nucleic acid sequences which:(a) encode enzymes or other proteins involved in plant abscission or dehiscence;(b) contain a promoter or other regulatory sequence which naturally controls expression of a gene involved in plant abscission or dehiscence;(c) when introduced into a plant, prevent or otherwise interfere with normal plant abscission or dehiscence; or(d) hybridise under stringent conditions to nucleic acid satisfying criterion (a), (b) or (c) or would do so but for the degeneracy of the genetic codeare useful in regulating abscission and dehiscence, particularly in reducing pod shatter in Brassica napus.
