    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling the activation of an electronic device. For a desired activation ratio, which defines the “ON” time relative to the “OFF” time of the electronic device for a given time period, the method and apparatus according to the present invention evaluates an activation sequence. The activation sequence comprises two or more activation time periods and one or more deactivation periods, wherein the ratio between the two or more activation periods and the predetermined time period is equivalent to the desired activation ratio.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an illumination system enabling dynamic colour control of the illumination produced by the system. The illumination system comprises light-emitting elements for producing illumination, and at least one detecting device which collects information relating to the illumination, which is inherently non-linear. The illumination system also integrates a computing system which receives the information from the at least one detecting device and linearises this information using a multivariate function having a solution defining a hyperplane representing constant chromaticity for a given luminous intensity, and then determines a number of control parameters based on the information. The illumination system also integrates a controller for receiving the control parameters from the computing system and determining the control signals to be sent to the light-emitting elements in order to dynamically alter the characteristics of the illumination based on the collected information and the desired illumination result.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an optical sensor having one or more filter-photodetector pairs and feedback to monitor the intensity and chromaticity of the white light generated by an illumination system. According to the present invention, filter-photodetectors are configured into pairs thereof, wherein a first filter-photodetector of a pair is configured and arranged so as to be sensitive to a predetermined region of the electromagnetic spectrum, while a second filter-photodetector of the pair is configured and arranged to be sensitive to a substantially complementary region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectral responsivity of the first filter-photodetector and the second filter-photodetector overlap in a predetermined region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Furthermore, the spectral responsivity of the first filter-photodetector is configured to substantially monotonically increase with respect to wavelength within said predetermined region, while the spectral responsivity of the second filter-photodetector is configured to substantially monotonically decrease with respect to wavelength within said predetermined region.
