External detection see-through door and external detection see-through cabinet having same
One embodiment of the present disclosure provides an external detection see-through door of a cabinet that stores objects. The external detection see-through door includes a transmission window, a sensor configured to detect a specific external condition in front of the transmission window, a light emitting module configured to increase an amount of emitted light according to a signal from the sensor, which has detected the specific external condition, to increase an amount of light that is reflected from inside the cabinet and heads toward the transmission window, and an optical film that is provided on the transmission window and has a light transmittance that prevents the cabinet from being see-through from the outside before the sensor detects the specific condition and allows the cabinet to be see-through from the outside due to light that is reflected from inside the cabinet and transmitted through the transmission window and the optical film due to the light emitting module increasing the amount of emitted light according to the signal from the sensor that has detected the specific external condition.
Identifying and controlling signal influence on one or more properties of emitted light
Systems, and methods are described herein for identifying and/or controlling influence and/or potential influence of one or more signals on one or more properties of light emitted by one or more lighting units (100). In various embodiments, one or more signals may be identified that influence, or potentially influence, a manner in which a lighting unit controller (110) controls one or more properties of light to be emitted by a lighting unit (100). In some embodiments, a user instruction may be received to alter the manner in which the one or more signals influence how the lighting unit controller (110) controls the one or more properties of light emitted by the lighting unit (100) may be received. The lighting unit controller (110) may control a manner in which light output of the lighting unit (100) is influenced by the one or more signals in accordance with the user instruction.
Control system and method for stage light fixture with photobiological safety
The control system for a stage light fixture with photobiological safety includes a control unit connected to a motor assembly and a light source and configured to control the stage light fixture to operate, and a distance sensor connected to the control unit, and configured to acquire an instant distance from a living being to the stage light fixture. The control unit stores a light radiation hazard exposure radiance limit value and a light fixture irradiance value acquired in advance per unit of time and distance, and acquires a parameter of the living being entering an irradiation danger zone according to the instant distance, the light radiation hazard exposure radiance limit value, and the light fixture irradiance value. When a hazard condition reaches the parameter of the living being entering the irradiation danger zone, the control unit controls the stage light fixture to move to eliminate the hazard condition.

DELAY SWITCH MODULE
The present invention relates to a delay switch module comprising: a delay switch (110), which is connected in parallel to a load switch (SW), is switched on during a set delay-off-time from when the load switch (SW) is switched off, and is switched off when the delay-off-time has elapsed, so that an operation stops when the delay-off-time has elapsed after the load switch (SW) is switched off; and a control unit (120) for sensing on/off switching of the load switch (SW) if there is an on/off switching operation of the load switch (SW) after the load switch (SW) is switched off, and controlling an operation-off of the delay switch (110) so that the set delay-off-time of the delay switch (110) changes according to the on/off switching operation of the load switch (SW).
REARVIEW MIRROR SYSTEM AND DISPLAY WITH ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY FOR LOW-LIGHT CONDITIONS AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME
A rearview mirror system for a vehicle providing a direct reflection of scenes in good light and an enhanced display of scenes in bad lighting includes a housing defining an opening, a display screen arranged at the opening, a camera, a fill light lamp, and a controller. The display screen is light-pervious at only one side. The camera and the fill light lamp are arranged on the housing. An image processing chip and the controller are arranged between the display screen and the housing. When ambient brightness is below a preset brightness value, the camera and the fill light lamp are activated, the camera captures images of side and rear scenes of the vehicle and generates an optical signal, the image processing chip, based on the optical signal, outputs an enhanced image on the display screen for better driving safety. A vehicle including the rearview mirror system is also disclosed.
LIGHTING APPARATUS WITH MICROWAVE INDUCTION
Disclosed embodiments provide a lighting apparatus with microwave induction. The microwave induction lamp emits electromagnetic waves through an antenna, such as a planar antenna. When a moving object enters the electromagnetic wave environment, the waveform is reflected and folded back and received by a microwave transceiver via the antenna and serves as a trigger signal. When the antenna receives the feedback waveform, a microcontroller-operated circuit activates a lighting device (e.g., a bank of light emitting diodes (LEDs)) in response to detecting the trigger signal. Disclosed embodiments use the trigger signal to turn the lighting device (lamps) on and off and further include a delay function, via a timer, to keep the lighting device activated for a predetermined period after detecting the trigger signal. In this way, a safe and efficient automatically activated lighting apparatus is provided.
