The invention provides a light management information system for an outdoor lighting network system, having a plurality of outdoor light units each including at least one sensor type, where each of the light units communicates with at least one other light unit, at least one user input/output device in communication with at one or more of said outdoor light units, a central management system in communication with light units, said central management system sends control commands and/or information to one or more of said outdoor light units, in response to received outdoor light unit status/sensor information from one or more of said outdoor light units or received user information requests from said user input/output device, a resource server in communication with said central management system, wherein the central management system uses the light unit status/sensor information and resources from the resource server to provide information to the user input/output device and/or reconfigure one or more of the lights units.

Methods and apparatus for information management and control of outdoor lighting networks

An elongate device, such as a catheter, for interventional MRI has one or more passive LC-circuits attached to its distal tip portion for position tracking. The LC-circuits includes an inductor winding and a three-dimensional 'trench' capacitor. The LC-circuits are integrated in a piece of silicon. Optical fibers may be included in the device for optical probing of tissue surrounding the distal tip portion.

High magnetic field compatible interventional needle and integrated needle tracking system

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a ferrite rod. The method comprises etching cavities into two semiconductor substrates and depositing ferrite layers into the cavities. The semiconductor substrates are attached to each other such that the ferriote layers form a ferrite rod. The present invention employs conventional photolithography and bulk isotropic micromachining of semiconductor wafers to precisely and repeatably form a template or mold, into which magnetic material can be deposited to form a Faraday rotation or phase-shifting element.

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for improved DMX communications. In some embodiments, methods and apparatus related to extensions of the DMX protocol enable error detection and correction by enhanced DMX slave devices. The methods and apparatus may utilize at least one forward error correction byte that is incorporated within a DMX packet and that may be utilized to correct instruction bytes in the DMX packet. A plurality of bytes within the DMX packet may optionally be interleaved according to an interleaving scheme in some variations.

Methods and apparatus for improved DMX512 communication

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for improved backwards compatible DMX communications. In some embodiments, methods and apparatus related to extensions of the DMX protocol enable error detection by enhanced DMX slave devices while maintaining full compatibility with non-enhanced DMX slave devices. The methods and apparatus may utilize a packet checksum byte that is incorporated within a start code packet and that is a checksum of a plurality of bytes in the start code packet. A plurality of bytes within the start code packet may optionally be interleaved according to an interleaving scheme in some variations.

Methods for improved DMX512 communication while maintaining backwards compatibility

This invention relates to a color controlled light source comprising a plurality of colored light elements, and a plurality of (filtered) photo detectors, having different spectral characteristics covering all or most of the total spectrum of the light elements. The (filtered) photo detectors detect the light output of the light source, and generate corresponding detection signals. The light source further has a color control unit for generating driving signals to the light elements on the basis of the detection signals and a predetermined target color point of the light output of the light source, and a modulator for individual signature modulation of the driving signal to each one of said light elements. A corresponding demodulator is provided for demodulation of the detection signals and extraction, from each detection signal, of actual values of the light outputs of the light elements. The color control unit has means for determining the spectral output of each light element on basis of the actual values, means for determining an actual color point from said spectral outputs of all light elements, and means for comparing said target color point with said actual color point and, if there is a difference, adjusting said driving signals in order to minimize the difference.

Color controlled light source and a method for controlling color generation in a light source

A presence detection system () for detecting a presence of an object (), particularly a person or an animal or vehicle, within an area () divided in detection zones (A;B;C;D) covering the area. The system comprises a movement detection device (A;B;C;D) for detecting a movement of the object. The system further comprises an electronic processing device () for storing information relating to a position of the object in a zone-wise way, based on a detected movement of the object. The electronic processing device is configured for determining the presence of the object within the area based on a detected movement of the object and stored information relating to the position of the object. The system is highly sensitive and highly prevents false presence detections. The invention also relates to a method for presence detection, and a lighting system comprising the presence detection system.
