  • Patent number: 10560994
    Abstract: A lighting control apparatus for producing control signals or cues for controlling operating parameter of one or more controlled lighting devices, including a learning machine configured for performing: a supervised learning phase, wherein, as a function of a first set of audio and/or video files coupled with a first set of control signals, the machine produces mapping rules between the audio and/or video files and the control signals of these first sets; an unsupervised learning phase wherein the machine receives a second set of audio and/or video files and produces, from the second set of audio and/or video files, a second set of control signals as a function of the mapping rules. The learning machine may be configured to carry out a reinforced learning phase with the production of an evaluation ranking of the mapping rules and the possible elimination of mapping rules.

  • Patent number: 9557036
    Abstract: A lighting device comprises a housing carrying a linear array of light radiation sources and one or more elongated diffusive screens arranged facing the array of light sources so as to be passed through by the light radiation. The screen or screens have a pattern of geometric features for producing a radiation pattern of the light radiation emitted by the lighting device as a result of passing through the diffusive screen or screens. By replacing the diffusive screen or screens with screens which have a different pattern of geometric features it is possible to vary the radiation pattern of the light radiation emitted by the lighting device.

  • Patent number: 8694287
    Abstract: An optical system including at least one light source, such as a LED source (10), and an optics (30) subjected to aging as a result of exposure to the light source (10) is designed by: defining an aging model for the optics (30), defining a thermal model for the light source (10, 100) as a spatial function representative of the temperature generated by the light source (10, 100), and defining the distance of the optics (30) from the light source (10) as a function of the aging model and the thermal model. The optical overall system (single or multiple reflector and lens) is finally optimised starting from the results achieved in the previous steps.

  • Patent number: 8678621
    Abstract: A mounting arrangement for a light source (L) having associated a Printed Circuit Board, wherein said mounting arrangement includes: a housing (H) with an exit opening for light from the source (L), a reflector (R) to reflect light from the source (L) towards the opening, an at least partly transparent cover (1) to close the opening of the housing (H). The cover (1) includes a set of retaining elements (12A) for retaining the cover (1) to the housing (H), and a set of holding elements (12B) for holding the associated Printed Circuit Board (D) within the housing (H). Such configuration is capable of exerting a pressure on the reflector (R) when the cover (1) is coupled to the housing (H), and wherein the reflector (R) in turn urges the light source (L) against the housing (H), providing thus thermal coupling between the light source (L) and the housing (H).
