Publication number: 20190150766Abstract: A modular light panel is described that comprises a transparent base substrate, upon a first surface of which is mounted an array of light sources, and a transparent protecting layer arranged to encapsulate the light sources upon the first surface. The refractive index of these layers is such that they form a composite structure for guiding light produced by the light sources within the composite structure. The modular light panel also comprise a wireless communication module and or environment sensor units located on the first surface to measure one or more physical properties of a volume illuminated by the light sources. The modular light panel exhibits increased levels of light output, are easier to manufacture than known devices while offering increased functionality. In addition, they remove the need for separate dedicated environment sensor units to be employed in a room while providing a means for thermally mapping the room.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2017Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: James GOURLAY, Stuart BAIN, Derek PEDEN

Patent number: 8162208Abstract: Systems and methods for the generation of user identification strings (UIS) used with multi-function operation vehicles are provided. In some embodiments, a system for activating a user operation vehicle can include an activation portal, a verifier and a UIS generator. The activation portal can request a base UIS and a vehicle code identifying a user operation vehicle be supplied by a user. Then, using an encryptor and a communications module, the activation portal can generate an encrypted base UIS and communicate the encrypted base UIS and the vehicle code to the verifier. The verifier can then authenticate the user and identify functions that are linked to the user operation vehicle. The UIS generator can include a decryptor and a UIS generation module to generate a unique account-specific UIS from the encrypted base UIS for each account linked to the user operation vehicle by modifying the base UIS.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2009Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: HSBC Card Services Inc.Inventors: Daniel J.

Publication number: 20100191652Abstract: Systems and methods for the addition of functionality to a user identification string (UIS) at a point of interaction (POI) are provided. A UIS is first requested from the user at a POI. According to some embodiments, the user enters a modified UIS (MUIS) at the POI. The MUIS can include a UIS along with a user code. An authorization request is then created by the POI device, wherein the request can include information such as, but not limited to, a vehicle code, the MUIS, POI location identifier, function deduction amounts, and/or the like. An action (e.g. rounding sweep, linking a function to the user operation vehicle, etc.) associated with the user code, if present, is determined and implemented. An approval or denial of the authorization request is then sent to the POI device after the action has been applied and the request has been processed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2009Publication date: July 29, 2010Inventors: Daniel J.
