    摘要: A system (100) for controlling a plurality of light sources (104a-f) by means of light groups, wherein each light group synchronously controls a subset of the plurality of light sources. The system (100) comprises: a central controller (102); a plurality of light sources (104a-f) wired to the central controller (102); and a light sensor (106a-c) wired to the central controller (102). The central controller (102) is configured to: receive a measurement signal from the light sensor; based on the received measurement signal, determine a subset of light sources that are in optical contact with the light sensor; and include the subset of light sources in a light group associated with the light sensor.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a clock supervision unit (100) and an electronic system clocked by at least one clock (c*) and using the clock supervision unit (100). The clock supervision unit (100) analyzes the at least one clock (c*) based on a monitor clock (m*) provided together with the at least one clock (c*) or separately to the clock supervision unit (100). The clock supervision unit (100) at least comprises an activity unit (210), a deviation unit (220) and an auxiliary clock generator (240). The auxiliary clock generator (240) outputs an auxiliary clock (a*). The activity unit (210) detects the presence of the monitor clock (m*) based on the auxiliary clock (a*) and the presence of the auxiliary clock (a*) based on the monitor clock (m*). The deviation unit (220) detects clock faults in the monitor clock (m*) based on the auxiliary clock (a*). With the clock supervision unit (100) according to the present invention, the at least one clock (c*) can be supervised in more detail and it is possible to react on different clock faults in the at least one clock c* with different error handling procedures, e.g. by initiating a shutdown of the devices controlled by the electronic system.

    摘要: The invention relates to a network comprising a plurality of network nodes. At least part of the network nodes are directly coupled to each other via at least one star node. The star node comprises a plurality of star interfaces which are assigned to at least one network node. In dependence on a respective pilot signal, a star interface conveys a message from the assigned network node to the other star interfaces, or from another star interface to at least one of the assigned network nodes. Also in the event of simultaneous arrival of at least two pilot signals at the respective star interfaces, a decision circuit releases one star interface for the transmission of data.
