LED drive for generating constant light output

An LED light source drive includes an LED current generating circuit and an LED drive controller. The current generating circuit is operable to receive power from a power source and to generate a dc current that can be used to the drive an LED light source. The drive controller is operable to control the dc current to ensure that the light output of the light source remains approximately constant over its operating lifetime. In one embodiment, the drive controller ensures that the effective light output of the light source remains approximately constant by automatically increasing the dc current in predetermined amounts at predetermined times. In an alternative embodiment, the drive controller includes an LED light sensor that is operable to generate a light signal indicative of the effective light output of the light source and the controller uses this light signal to control the dc current output.

Compact and adjustable LED lighting apparatus, and method and system for operating such long-term

A lighting system is provided whereby long operating life can be reasonably ensured by taking into account requirements of the application, characteristics of the LEDs, characteristics of the fixture containing said LEDs, the desired number of operating hours, and—via developed relationships—taking an iterative approach to supplying power to the LEDs. Through the envisioned compensation methodology and effective luminaire design, a relatively constant light level can be assured for a predetermined number of operating hours (possibly longer); this is true even if operating conditions change, known behavior of LEDs proves untrue over untested period of time, or some other condition occurs which would otherwise cause end-of-life prematurely and prevent the system from meeting the desired number of operating hours.

Method for non-invasive spectrophotometric blood oxygenation monitoring

A method and apparatus for non-invasively determining the blood oxygen saturation level within a subject's tissue is provided that utilizes a near infrared spectrophotometric (NIRS) sensor capable of transmitting a light signal into the tissue of a subject and sensing the light signal once it has passed through the tissue via transmittance or reflectance. The method includes the step of determining attenuation of the light signal as the sum of: (i) attenuation attributable to deoxyhemoglobin; (ii) attenuation attributable to oxyhemoglobin; and (iii) attenuation attributable to light scattering within the subject's tissue. The present method also makes it possible to account for attenuation attributable to fixed or constant light absorbing biological tissue components, and attenuation attributable to variable characteristics of the sensor. By determining differential attenuation as a function of wavelength, the attenuation attributable to tissue light scattering characteristics, fixed light absorbing components, and measuring apparatus characteristics are mathematically cancelled out or minimized relative to the attenuation attributable to deoxyhemoglobin, and attenuation attributable to oxyhemoglobin.

Scotopically enhanced emergency light and control thereof

System and method are provided for controlling emergency lighting where emergency lights turn on when main source of power goes out for controlling emergency lighting to conserve energy utilized by the emergency light, while maintaining good visibility of the emergency lighting. Solid state lighting, such as LED, is used within an emergency light to add light in blue wavelength region matching the light output to the most sensitive of wavelength response of the human eve to increase color perception and allows faster response time. Electrical current to the device and light output are reduced while LED light tends to increase its blue wavelength component as it is dimmed thus increasing effective light output. After a predetermined time, the light is purposefully dimmed to conserve energy and to allow the eye to slowly and safely adjust to the new lighting conditions. By reducing electrical current, energy storage batteries may be smaller than for similar unit that maintains constant light output.

Method for diagnosing constant optical network units in Ethernet passive optical network

The invention provides a method for diagnosing constant optical network units in an Ethernet passive optical network. Each optical line terminal (OLT) in the Ethernet passive optical network is connected with a plurality of optical network units (ONU). The method comprises the following steps that: when the OLT distributes and sends time slots of data to the ONUs, the OLT distributes a different virtual time slot to each ONU additionally; each ONU only sends data in the distributed time slot, and does not send data in the virtual time slot, so the stronger optical power is not detected in the virtual time slot; and the OLT periodically detects the optical power in the virtual time slot so as to judge whether a detection value is greater than a threshold, if so, determines that certain ONU in a constant state or other constant light sources exist under the OLT, and otherwise determines that all ONUs under the OLT are in a normal state. The method can quickly diagnose whether the constant ONUs exist in the Ethernet passive optical network.
