Abstract: The invention relates to a valve for opening and closing a channel (3) of a microfluidic system, respectively. According to the invention, the valve comprises an actuation medium (2) that undergoes a volume change with changing temperature; and a heater arrangement (5) for generating a temperature gradient in the actuation medium (2) with respect to the actuation medium's (2) distance relative to the channel (3); wherein due to an expansion or a contraction of the actuation medium (2) the channel (3) is closed or opened, respectively. When the heater arrangement (5) is activated in such a way that a higher temperature is generated in the actuation medium (2) which is nearer to the channel (3) and a lower temperature is generated in the actuation medium (2) which is further away from the channel (3) the valve can be closed and vice versa. Accordingly, such a valve for a microfluidic system is provided which can be reliably actuated during a long time of use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a control system (13) and method for controlling the light output of an emitting unit (11) having at least one LED (15) and emitting light of at least one color. The control system (13) comprises a feedback based on a detection unit (19) detecting the light output of the emitting unit (11), a detection pulse generator (27), a suppression unit (23) suppressing environmental light interferences in detected light, and a control unit (21) for controlling the light output of the emitting unit on basis of a comparison between a reference signal representing a desired light output of the emitting unit and an output signal of the suppression unit. The detection pulse generator (27) generates detection pulses a-periodically. Thus, an a-periodicity is introduced into the feedback processing of the light output. This provides a possibility by means of conventional suppression algorithms to eliminate or reduce interfering environmental light, particularly pulsed light.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing a lighting setting for controlling a lighting system (10a, 10b) to produce a desired lighting effect. The method comprises, in a remote server (24), receiving data related to the lighting system and generating a lighting setting related to the desired lighting effect and adapted according to the received lighting system data, and sending the adapted lighting setting from the remote server to the lighting system. Thus, when the lighting system receives the lighting setting, the lighting setting is already adapted according to that specific lighting system, whereby the desired lighting effect can be produced correctly. There is no immediate need for any post download adjustment of the light setting. The invention also relates to a corresponding remote server.

Abstract: This invention relates to a training device (10) to be attached to or be worn by an animal (103) for training the animal to adapt its behavior to various environments (105-108), where the training device is operated by a trainer (102) of the animal. The training involves selecting various training setups, which are adapted to the various environments. A receiving means is used for receiving an input from the trainer, or from a training setup device used by the trainer, for initiating a new training setup. A detecting means is used for detecting parameters relating to the animal, wherein the parameters are regularly compared to the training setup. An output means is used for influencing the behavior of the animal if one or more of the detected parameters contradict with the training setup.
