Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing interaction with controllable lighting networks are disclosed. Particularly, a user's input regarding the user's preferred level of interaction with a controllable lighting network is used in conjunction with memories and processors, to selectively allow the controllable lighting network access to the user's personal data such as the user's identity or the user's personal lighting preferences. A user's preferred level of interaction with a controllable lighting network is also used, in conjunction with personal mobile electronic communication devices, to allow the user to control lighting within controllable lighting networks.
Abstract:
In accordance with certain embodiments, regions of spatially varying wavelength-conversion particle concentration are formed over light-emitting dies.
Abstract:
A transfer stamp that can be charged with a spatial pattern of electrostatic charge for picking up selected semiconductor dice from a host substrate and transferring them to a target substrate. The stamp may be bulk charged and then selectively discharged using irradiation through a patterned mask. The technique may also be used to electrostatically transfer selected semiconductor dice from a host substrate to a target substrate.
Abstract:
In accordance with certain embodiments, a semiconductor die is adhered directly to a yielding substrate with a pressure-activated adhesive notwithstanding any nonplanarity of the surface of the semiconductor die or non-coplanarity of the semiconductor die contacts.
Abstract:
In the context of a predictive daylight harvesting system data values are input regarding a plurality of variable building design parameters. The effects on a building's environmental characteristics are calculated based on the data values regarding a plurality of building design parameters. At least one of the data values is changed regarding variable building design parameters. The effects on a building's environmental characteristics are recalculated based on the data values regarding a plurality of building design parameters building heat balance.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for communicating information content by modulation of light in an illumination system via a liquid lens optically coupled to the illumination system and capable of modulation of light thereof, using resonant modes of the liquid lens. A modulation control system operatively coupled to the liquid lens and to the information content is configured to represent at least a portion of the information content as a time-varying configuration of the liquid lens, the time-varying configuration substantially including one or more of said one or more resonance modes. A receiver system optically coupled to the liquid lens is configured to reconstruct at least a portion of the information content from light modulated by the time-varying configuration of the liquid lens.
