APPARATUS, METHOD, AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING TUNABLE CIRCADIAN LIGHTING AT CONSTANT PERCEIVED BRIGHTNESS AND COLOR
The newly discovered retinal ganglion cell photoreceptor melanopsin absent in the central fovea of the eye but distributed throughout the remaining human retinal body provides both non-visual biological/physiological input inducing circadian entrainment, and visual input affecting perceived brightness; this perceived brightness is not the object brightness commonly associated with luminance and perceived color of an object in central view, but the perception of brightness of a whole space or task background. Discussed are improvements to circadian lighting systems based on melanopsin stimulation whereby ambient and/or device background lighting may be temporally tuned over a range of prescribed color temperatures from a first subset of lighting having a higher melanopic content to a second subset of lighting having a lower melanopic content or vice versa in accordance with a desired circadian cycle, and in a manner where net light output is of a constant perceived brightness and color throughout temporal tuning.

NASAL DISEASE TREATMENT AID DEVICE
The present invention provides a nasal disease treatment aid device, comprising: a nose cover which forms a dome so as to cover the nose of a user and covers the nose while being positioned on the nose of the user; a fixing member which is connected to the left and right sides of the nose cover and fixed to the head of the user so that the nose cover is fixed to the nose of the user; insertion members having, interposed therebetween, a support body provided in the inner space of the nose cover and extending outward from the left and right sides of the support body and are formed in tubular shapes each having a hollow inside that communicates back and forth so as to allow the user to breathe through the nostrils; LED light sources which are provided on one side of each of the insertion members and irradiate therapeutic light into the inside of the nose; and low-frequency stimulation units which are provided on each of the left and right sides of the nose cover and physically stimulate paranasal sinuses while in contact with the paranasal sinuses that are around the nose. Therefore, it is possible to provide necessary help for the treatment of rhinitis and paranasal sinusitis at the same time, and infrared treatment light of a corresponding wavelength using the LED light sources and heat treatment by radiation heat from the infrared light are carried out in parallel such that the resulting light and heat is propagated deep into a nasal cavity so as to be able to effectively improve blood circulation, thereby requiring a shorter treatment time and minimizing side effects such as skin rashes and so on caused by prolonged exposure to light and heat.
