Abstract:
A device for providing assistance to a person comprises a data input for obtaining person related data representing data obtained by monitoring the person, a data processing unit for processing the obtained person related data to determine the person's mental state and/or cognitive level from the obtained person related data, to detect if the person has limited or no ability to perform a desired task and to generate assistance data in case of detection that the person has limited or no ability to perform the desired task and/or if the person's current mental state and/or cognitive level is below a threshold or out of a distribution or value range required to perform the desired task, said assistance data representing data directed to supporting the person in performing the desired task by adapting the number of functions of an appliance accessible and controllable by the person according to the person's current mental state and/or cognitive level, and a data output for providing said assistance data for supporting the person in performing the desired task.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include a semiconductor structure including a light emitting layer sandwiched between an n-type region and a p-type region. A growth substrate is attached to the semiconductor structure. The growth substrate has at least one angled sidewall. A reflective layer is disposed on the angled sidewall. A majority of light extracted from the semiconductor structure and the growth substrate is extracted through a first surface of the growth substrate.
Abstract:
There is proposed a light source comprising: a semiconductor diode structure adapted to generate light; and an optical enhancement section above the semiconductor diode structure and adapted to output light from the semiconductor diode structure. A partially-reflective layer covers at least a portion of the top of the optical enhancement section and is adapted to reflect a portion of the output light towards the optical enhancement section. The partially-reflective layer has a light transmittance characteristic that varies laterally.
Abstract:
Proposed is a light source comprising first and second LED light sources. Each of the first and second LED light sources have: a semiconductor diode structure adapted to generate light; and a light output section above the semiconductor diode structure adapted to output light from the semiconductor diode structure in a light output direction, the area of the light output section being less than the area of the semiconductor diode structure. The second LED light source is arranged above and at least partially overlapping the first LED light source with non-aligned light output sections with respect to the light output direction.
Abstract:
A relatively large substrate has a reflective surface, such as a diffusive white surface. LED dies, either as bare LED dies or packaged LED dies, are mounted to the substrate to form separate arrays of LEDs. Each array is intended for a separate mixing chamber. A layer of an encapsulant, such as silicone, is deposited over the substrate to encapsulate the LED dies. A laser etches through the encapsulant to form slots, and a reflective material, such as a white paint, is deposited in the slots to form reflective walls of each mixing chamber. If desired, a phosphor layer is deposited over the encapsulant and reflective walls. The substrate is then singulated to separate out the mixing chambers. Since no discrete parts are assembled, and multiple mixing chambers are formed simultaneously, the resulting mixing chambers are inexpensive and very reliable.
Abstract:
A solid state light emitting device includes a light emitting stack (20), a metallization (30), comprising a guard layer (36) of metal, and a dielectric layer (50) over the guard layer (36) of the metallization. During subsequent processing delamination and/or cracking may occur at the edges of the devices, sometimes referred to as die edge defects. To address these defects a plurality of stress-relief elements (62, 64) and/or anchor elements may be provided in an edge region of the metallization and/or dielectric layer for reducing delamination. The stress-relief elements (62, 64) are formed by regions of reduced thickness or increased thickness in the guard layer (36).
