Abstract: High-speed optical communication is very attractive to satisfy high throughput applications. In the meanwhile, it is also desirable to reduce the energy waste resulted from an idle state of the optical transceivers of the communication system. The present invention discloses that both the access point (1200) and the end point device (1100) can operate in at least two different operation states, a normal operation state and a low power state. The low power state is a default state, and the normal operation state is enabled only when a valid trigger is detected. To establish a high-speed optical link (60), the end point device (1100) first sends an optical trigger signal (50) to the access point (1200) in the low power state. The access pint (1200) switches to the normal operation state only when a valid trigger signal is identified after detecting the optical trigger signal (50).

Abstract: A lamp has a safety circuit connected to first and second electrical connection terminals. A test is used to detect if the first and second electrical connection terminals are both connected to external power without an interfering impedance such a human body, and only then enable operation of the lamp. A time for the test is different from a time when another lamp in the system applies a test.

Abstract: The invention provides a retrofit LED lamp driver having a shunt switch to alternately shunt (for a first duration) and not shunt (for a second duration) received AC power. The first duration is concurring with a first polarity of each AC cycle of the AC power, for a first period comprising at least one AC cycle, and the first duration is concurring in a second, opposite polarity of the AC power, for a second period comprising another at least one AC cycle not overlapping with the first duration. Alternating the first and second periods are provided. Any DC offset in the current drawn caused by the shunting operation is thereby cancelled over time.

Abstract: There is proposed an interface circuit for connecting an electronic ballast to a lighting arrangement, in which control of a coupling configuration of the interface circuit is dependent upon a frequency of the electronic ballast. In particular, a coupling configuration of the interface circuit is controlled by a control arrangement based on the ballast frequency.

Abstract: In a multi-cell wireless communication system (100) with at least one optical access point (120) and at least one radio frequency access point (120), more flexibility is provided to an end device (110) in selecting an access point (120) for establishing a data link. Because of the line-of-sight characteristic of an optical link and the limited field of view of an optical receiver, optical cells are typically deployed with a relatively high density and adjacent optical cells may have an overlapping area. This invention discloses a method of an end device (110) for selecting a favorable access point (120) with reduced overhead, even when the end device is located in the overlapping area of two adjacent optical cells.

Abstract: A tubular solid state lighting device has a pin safety circuit electrically connected to connection pins of the one end. The pin safety circuit comprises two protection components, of different types. In one set of examples, there is an electrically controlled isolation switch and an electronic switch which functions as a high voltage isolation barrier. The switch provides full galvanic contact separation, whereas the isolation barrier provides current protection if the isolation switch is not functional. In another set of examples, there is a mechanically controlled isolation switch and an electrical or electronic isolation barrier. This provides two levels of protection, but requiring only a single manual operation by the installer of the lighting device. It avoids end-of-life protection circuitry being triggered during the installation of the lighting device.

Abstract: This invention relates to a power supply system for an optical wireless communication system where a modem (212) is connected to a plurality of transceivers (11). The underlying idea being that the transceivers (11) are powering the modem (212), rather than the modem (212) powering the transceivers (11). To achieve this, a power combiner is provided that can receive power from the transceivers (11). The transceivers (11) power down when no endpoint is detected and use a subset of emitters, in which case the modem (212) can also be switched to a lower power mode.

Abstract: A lamp comprises an input for connection to a high frequency ballast for gas discharge lamps. A power supply unit obtains power from a LED on voltage of the LED of the lamp, and the power supply unit powers an isolation switch at the input. During a preheat stage of the ballast, the power supply unit does not close the isolation switch, but the isolation switch is closed when the high frequency ballast is in a later state, i.e. the ignition phase.
