  • Publication number: 20200286604
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for generating a database to be used to set illumination of an adjustable light source. The method comprising: for a plurality of different users: identifying an individual user; setting a specific light profile of the adjustable light source, the specific light profile comprising information pertaining to a spectral content and/or intensity of light by which the individual user is exposed to; while exposing the individual user for the specific light profile, sensing data pertaining to a health condition and/or a behavior of the individual user; determining a data set linking the specific light profile, genomic data pertaining to the individual user, and the data pertaining to the health condition and/or the behavior of the individual user sensed while exposing the individual user to the specific light profile; and storing the linked data set in a database. A light control system is further provided.

  • Patent number: 9096429
    Abstract: The present invention relates to semiconductor devices comprising semiconductor nanoelements. In particular the invention relates to devices having a volume element having a larger diameter than the nanoelement arranged in epitaxial connection to the nanoelement. The volume element is being doped in order to provide a high charge carrier injection into the nanoelement and a low access resistance in an electrical connection. The nanoelement may be upstanding from a semiconductor substrate. A concentric layer of low resistivity material forms on the volume element forms a contact.

  • Patent number: 9087896
    Abstract: The present invention relates to providing layers of different thickness on vertical and horizontal surfaces (15, 20) of a vertical semiconductor device (1). In particular the invention relates to gate electrodes and the formation of precision layers (28) in semiconductor structures comprising a substrate (10) and an elongated structure (5) essentially standing up from the substrate. According to the method of the invention the vertical geometry of the device (1) is utilized in combination with either anisotropic deposition or anisotropic removal of deposited material to form vertical or horizontal layers of very high precision.
