Abstract: A scattered-light smoke detector includes a detector unit that operates according to the scattered-light principle. The detector unit includes a light-emitting diode (LED) to irradiate particles to be detected and a spectrally sensitive photosensor to detect the light scattered by the particles. The LED and photosensor are aligned such that a principal optical axis of the LED and a principal optical axis of the photosensor define a scattered-light angle. The LED includes a first and a second LED chip for emitting first and second light beams with light in a first wavelength range and a different second wavelength range, and an LED chip carrier arranged orthogonally to the principal optical axis. The two LED chips are arranged side-by-side on the LED chip carrier. The LED is rotated such that a chip axis extending through the two LED chips is orthogonal to an angle plane defined by the two optical axes.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to transforming the style and/or layout information, graphical information associated with a display to be rendered by a target system, into layout and/or position output in a native language of the target system, mapping the data information into data binding output in the native language, the data binding output comprising one or more data binding structures to enable the target system to access the data information from a data source, converting the image information into image information output configured for display by the target system, and providing the style and/or layout output, data binding output, and image information output to the target system.
