  • Patent number: 7961075
    Abstract: A programmable lighting unit includes a radio interface to be remote controlled by a radio remote control. In particular, the remote control sends parameter data which is supplied to a parameter adjuster in the programmable lighting unit which programs the parameter data such that a controller of the programmable lighting unit controls a controllable lamp dependent on the parameter data. In particular, the controller is adapted to be programmed using the one or the multiple parameters such that a reaction by the controller to the control data depends on the one or the multiple parameters.

  • Publication number: 20100320940
    Abstract: A monitoring device for programmable lamps (10) includes an input (17) for receiving control data (11) from a first programmable lamp, an output (18) for forwarding the control data (12) to a second programmable lamp, reading means (19) for reading the control data (13) and a interface (20) for transmitting the read control data (14). In further embodiments, the wireless interface is formed in such a manner as to receive configuration, reference and test data, with which the monitoring device can be placed into the recording mode, diagnostic mode and test mode. A configurator configurates input, output, reading means and wireless interface in dependence on the configuration data received.

  • Publication number: 20070059675
    Abstract: For measuring the rotational frequency of a movable game device, one resorts to an existing radio signal in the form of a broadcast signal or mobile communication signal within the framework of an open system, or to a radio signal of an evaluation unit within the framework of a closed system, so as to obtain, by means of an antenna having a directivity characteristic, a time-varying radio antenna receive signal which has a low-frequency modulation portion, the frequency of which corresponding to the rotational frequency of the movable game device.

  • Publication number: 20070060425
    Abstract: The movable device includes a detector for detecting that an object is located in the vicinity of or at the movable device, as well as a transmitter module for transmitting two signals having different signals speeds. These two signals are received by a receiver, the receiver having a detector to ascertain whether the second signal arrives within a predetermined time period as of reception of the first signal, so as to provide, when this has been detected, a detector signal indicating that the movable device has been contacted by the object. Exemplary movable devices are game devices such as footballs. Exemplary objects are arms, legs, football shoes, rackets, bats, etc.
