Abstract:
A lighting module with variable colors (1, 2) includes an elastic portion (11), a pressure sensor (12), a color detecting unit (13), and a light emitting unit (14). The elastic portion has an internal space. By applying a force (F), the elastic portion can be deformed so as to generate a pressure change of the internal space. The pressure sensor is coupled to the internal space of the elastic portion, and detects the pressure change of the internal space to output a color transformation signal (S 1 ). The color detecting unit is coupled to the pressure sensor. The color detecting unit receives the color transformation signal and is initiated based on the color transformation signal for detecting a color of a target to generate a color signal (S 2 ). The light emitting unit is disposed in the elastic portion, and emits a light corresponding to the color signal. In addition, a lamp (L) with the lighting module with variable colors is also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for developing a color product. The method comprises (a) storing development information in a database, said development information including characteristics related to development of a plurality of color products; (b) receiving first color information, said first color information including at least a first color; wherein the first color information is received using a color measuring device or by transmitting of a color sample; (c) identifying first color development information in said database on the basis of said received first color information, said first development information including at least said first color; (d) receiving data about at least one physical characteristic of said color product; (e) determining, using said first development information, whether said at least one physical characteristic is compatible with said first color, this result being used in a process of manufacturing said color product, (f) receiving data about at least one printing technique for printing the at least first color onto a substrate having the at least one physical characteristic of said color product; and (g) determining, using said first development information, whether said at least one printing technique is compatible with said at least one physical characteristic of said color product; and either (h) halting development of the color product after any of steps (b) - (e) if a physical characteristic is incompatible with said first color or after steps (f) or (g) if said physical characteristic is not compatible with said printing technique, or (i) issuing a warning via a user interface after any of steps (b) - (e) if a physical characteristic is incompatible with said first color or after steps (f) or (g) if said physical characteristic is not compatible with said printing technique, wherein development of the color product is halted until a designer modifies a design of the color product so that a first color is compatible with at least one physical characteristic of said color product and the at least one physical characteristic of said color product is compatible with the printing technique or production of the color product is halted if the designer does not modify the design of the color product.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided. In particular, at least one first electro-magnetic radiation may be provided to a sample and at least one second electro-magnetic radiation can be provided to a non-reflective reference. A frequency of the first and/or second radiations varies over time. An interference is detected between at least one third radiation associated with the first radiation and at least one fourth radiation associated with the second radiation. Alternatively, the first electro-magnetic radiation and/or second electro-magnetic radiation have a spectrum which changes over time. The spectrum may contain multiple frequencies at a particular time. In addition, it is possible to detect the interference signal between the third radiation and the fourth radiation in a first polarization state. Further, it may be preferable to detect a further interference signal between the third and fourth radiations in a second polarization state which is different from the first polarization state. The first and/or second electro-magnetic radiations may have a spectrum whose mean frequency changes substantially continuously over time at a tuning speed that is greater than 100 Tera Hertz per millisecond.
