Abstract

A transformer comprises a winding structure which forms a primary side coil, a secondary side coil and first and second wires wound into the coil structure of the transformer. The first wire and second wire define a capacitance between them. The first wire is coupled to a cold point in the primary side and the second wire is coupled to a cold point in the secondary side, thereby this capacitance forming a Y-capacitor between the primary and the secondary sides. This capacitance may for example be used for EMI suppression.

Abstract

A connector socket has a cylinder-shaped head with a substantially planar end face and a substantially cylindrical side wall. The end face has slots each for receiving an electrical connector pin and the side wall comprises a set of locking channels, each for receiving a locking lug. The locking channels each comprise an entry channel having a first end which opens at the end face and a second end opposite to the first end. Two side channels extend laterally in opposite directions from the second end of the entry channel. The locking channels thereby enable rotation of an attachment (e.g. external component or protective cap) during coupling in both directions. This reduces wear of the walls that define the locking channels.

When the first seal (200) is positioned with the first orientation in the wire channel (110) the possibility of water penetration into one or both of the upper housing (101) or the lower housing (102) via the wire channel (110) is reduced. The first seal (200) can be positioned with a second orientation in the wire channel (110) so that the wire pathway (201) is perpendicular to the wire channel (110) when no wire is needed. The lighting fixture (100) may also include a wire tunnel (109) formed between the upper housing (101) and the lower housing (102) and including an aperture (111) at one end through which the wire passes there through.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a radio frequency (RF) system with multiple nodes (34, 36, 38, 44, 46, 48) and a method for optimizing detection performance for performing RF-based sensing in a sensing area (32) based on RF system configuration parameters. An RF system configuration parameter of the RF system configuration parameters which affects detection performance of the RF-based sensing the most is determined. The RF system configuration parameter which affects detection performance of the RF-based sensing the most is then adjusted in order to optimize the detection performance of RF-based sensing. A root cause for a diminished detection performance and the respective RF system configuration parameter for mitigating it may be determined based on current context. For optimizing the detection performance, for example, settings of sensing parameters of the nodes (34, . . . , 48) may be adjusted or the nodes (34, . . . , 38) may be moved, removed, added, or replaced.

Abstract

In an optical wireless communication, OWC, network (100), time division multiple access, TDMA, is commonly used for interference suppression among multiple network devices (D1-Dn) associated to a single coordinator, or among adjacent coordinators (C1-Cn). However, an offset of MAC cycles among two adjacent coordinators (C1-C2) may still result in interference to a network device (D1) located in the overlapping area of the coverage areas of these two adjacent coordinators (C1-Cn). This invention is directed to various methods, apparatus, systems, computer program and computer-readable media for providing a mechanism to make use of an out-of-band channel to send a signal from a network device (D1) to the two adjacent coordinators (C1-C2), for assisting the alignment of MAC cycles among the two adjacent coordinators (C1-C2), and the out-of-band channel has a line-of-sight character, and is out-of-band as compared to the OWC network (100).

Abstract

A system (1) for controlling a lighting device (11-12) to render adjusted light effects in relation to audio and/or video content while a media rendering device (23) renders this content is configured to receive one or more input signals, determine light effects based on the input signals, identify one or more settings which have not been adjusted by a user of the system in relation to the audio and/or video content, and determine one or more values for the settings based on the input signals. The values are based on adjustments made by one or more users of one or more other systems (48,49) to the settings in relation to the audio and/or video content. The system is further configured to adjust the light effects based on the values and control the lighting device to render the adjusted light effects.

Abstract

The present invention relates to performing radio frequency based sensing based on channel state information (CSI), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), or a combination thereof based on a current context. A current context for performing radio frequency based sensing is determined and at least one of two nodes (26, 28, 30) of a radio frequency system (100) is configured for performing radio frequency based sensing based on CSI, RSSI, or a combination thereof based on the current context. The current context may be determined in real time. This may allow improving detection performance and/or reducing energy consumption in real time.

Abstract

The invention refers to an apparatus (140) for controlling a lighting system (100) comprising a plurality of lights (110, 120, 130), wherein the lighting system is adapted to perform a hidden sensing, like radiofrequency sensing, in a sensing region (150). The apparatus comprises a sensing activity information providing unit (141) adapted to provide sensing activity information indicative of a hidden sensing activity of the lighting system (100), a notification mode selection unit (142) adapted to select a notification mode for notifying a person of the hidden sensing activity, wherein the selection is based on the provided sensing activity information and wherein each notification mode refers to a visual feedback, and a lighting system controlling unit (143) adapted to control at least two lights of the lighting system based on the selected notification mode to provide the visual feedback. The invention allows to notify a user of a hidden sensing.

Abstract

A method comprises, in a learning mode, learning (101) a state of one or more portable devices at a start time associated with a routine for a plurality of executions of the routine over a period of time based on received signals and determining (103) one or more expected states of the one or more portable devices at the start time associated with the routine based on the learned state. The method further comprises, in an adjustment mode, determining (105) a current state of the one or more portable devices at the start time of the routine for a current execution of the routine, determining (107) whether the current state differs from the expected state, and adjusting (109) the current execution of the routine in dependence on a difference between these states. The current execution of the routine comprises transmission of at least one light command.
