Abstract

The invention relates to a power providing device (2) for providing power to a plurality of power receiving devices (31), a power distribution system including such power providing device (2), a method for providing power to a plurality of power receiving devices (31) and a corresponding computer program. During standby the power providing device (2) is beneficially supplied with power coming from a power source (1) dedicated or adjusted for the low energy consumption, e.g. a uplink port (23) or a shared power bus. The current drawn from such power source (1) (or the power provided to the downlink power receiving devices (31)) is measured and, for example, the derivative is used in order detecting a current increase just when it starts. This information may be used such the main power supply (29) gets started in order to be available for more power demand than available through the hierarchical powering coming from the standby power source (1).

Abstract

A first plurality (201) of network nodes (120-123, 130-133) of a network (100) is associated with a first cryptographic keying material and the multicast IP address. A second plurality (202) of network nodes (120-123, 130-133) of the network (100) is associated with a second cryptographic keying material and the multicast IP address. The first cryptographic keying material has a different secret than the second cryptographic keying material.

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for improving a lighting condition with a wearable computing device (100), the method comprising determining (302) an actual light condition with an optical sensor arrangement (114, 220); determining (303) the user activity with a further sensor arrangement (116, 230) for determining a user activity, said user activity being associated with a suitable lighting condition for performing said activity; comparing (304), on the wearable computing device, the actual light condition with the suitable light condition; and generating (306, 406) a signal with the wearable device if the actual light condition deviates from the suitable light condition. A computer program product including computer program code for implementing this method when executed on a wearable computing device (100), a wearable computing device (100) including the computer program product and a lighting system kit including a lighting system (200) and the wearable computing device (100) are also disclosed.

Abstract

The invention relates to a power splitter for a variable number of loads, a power splitting method for a variable number of loads and a software product for power splitting. It is possible to provide power splitting for a variable number of loads, which allows for an efficient distribution of power while reducing unnecessary overhead, with the determination of an overall power demand for the variable number of loads being concentrated in the power splitter, which may then request the desired amount of power from the power supply.
