Abstract:
A lighting fixture has a communication interface; a light source configured to provide light output for general illumination; an image sensor configured to capture image information associated of with a field of view; and control circuitry, which is configured to provide a drive signal to the light source to control the light output. In one embodiment, the control circuitry is further configured to, for each object in the field of view, determine if an object in the field of view is an occupant based on the image information; if the object is an occupant, track movement of the occupant within the field of view; and determine a number of occupants in the field of view. The control circuitry may also be configured to provide occupancy information bearing on the number of occupants in the field of view to a remote entity via the communication interface.
Abstract:
A stabilized quantum dot composite includes a plurality of luminescent semiconducting nanoparticles embedded in a matrix comprising an ionic metal oxide. A method of making a stabilized quantum dot composite includes forming a mixture comprising a plurality of luminescent semiconducting nanoparticles dispersed in an aqueous solution comprising an ionic metal oxide. The mixture is dried to form a stabilized quantum dot composite comprising the plurality of luminescent semiconducting nanoparticles embedded in a matrix comprising the ionic metal oxide.
