摘要： The emittance value is a measure of an amount of energy expelled from a given surface area relative to a black-body reference. Depending on the specific coating a change in the emittance value is actively or passively effected. There are known active variable emittance thermal control coatings. However, such coatings are actually panels housing a mixture of both high and low emissivity materials that are electrically manipulated to control the emittance value of the panel. These “coatings” are classified as either electrochromic or electrophorectic. Both electrochromic and electrophorectic coatings require an applied voltage to cause a change in the emittance value of the coating. By contrast, aspects of the present invention do not include active variable emittance thermal control coatings. Aspects of the present invention do include passive variable emittance thermal control coatings and materials. In accordance with aspects of the present invention “passive” means that the variable emittance value changes in response to changes in the environment without active control (e.g. neither a voltage nor a current is applied). More specifically, in accordance with one aspect of the invention a passive variable emittance thermochromic material is provided that has a relatively low emittance value at low temperatures and a relatively high emittance value at high temperatures.

摘要翻译： 发射值是相对于黑体参考从给定表面积排出的能量的量度。 取决于特定的涂层，发射值的变化被主动或被动地实现。 已知的主动变量发射体热控制涂层。 然而，这样的涂层实际上是容纳高和低辐射率材料的混合物的面板，其被电操作以控制面板的发射值。 这些“涂层”分为电致变色或电泳。 电致变色和电泳涂层都需要施加电压来引起涂层的发射值的变化。 相比之下，本发明的方面不包括主动可变发射体热控制涂层。 本发明的方面包括被动可变发射体热控制涂层和材料。 根据本发明的方面，“无源”是指可变发射值响应于没有主动控制的环境变化而变化（例如既不施加电压也不施加电流）。 更具体地，根据本发明的一个方面，提供了一种无源可变发射热变色材料，其在低温下具有相对低的发射率值，并且在高温下具有较高的发射值。

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention include a lighting fixture(s), a computer program product and a computer-implemented method that include program code executed by a processor(s) that obtains a request to implement a specified lighting pattern in the lighting fixture(s). Each lighting fixture includes effect lighting communicatively coupled to the processor(s) and functional lighting (oriented to illuminate a surface below the lighting fixture) communicatively coupled to the processor(s). The program code identifies the specified lighting pattern in a memory communicatively coupled to the processor(s), which includes a sequence for illuminating a portion of the effect lighting elements. The processor(s) executes the specified lighting pattern in the lighting fixture(s).
