Abstract:
A linear light source is provided that includes a light-emitting element and a light guide, which has a core with an end and a longitudinal extension. In the operating state, light from the light emitting element is injected on the end and is guided along the longitudinal extension. The core includes at least one scattering element that changes a propagation direction of the light guided in the core. The light guide having a lateral surface with a light-blocking coating at least partially or in portions thereof. The light-blocking coating being structured so that the light guide has a light-transmissive portion extending along the longitudinal extension and so that the light scattered on the at least one scattering element and striking the light-transmissive portion is able to escape from the light guide, at least partially. The coating having a light transmittance that is lower than a light transmittance of the light-transmissive portion.

Abstract:
A lighting device having a side-emitting fiber bundle is provided. The fiber bundle is inserted in a sleeve that has an extension, which is effective as a light mixer.
Abstract:
A driver circuit for a semiconductor light source and to a method for controlling the brightness thereof are provided. When a pulse width modulated semiconductor light source reaches a duty cycle threshold value, the voltage is increased or decreased through a variable voltage source in order to achieve a higher dynamic range.
Abstract:
A cooking apparatus with a cooktop composed of a glass or glass-ceramic material is provided. The cooking apparatus includes a heating element and a lighting element that are disposed in the region below the underside of the cooktop. The heating element is applied to the underside of the cooktop indirectly by a pressing device or directly by pre-stressing one or a plurality of spring elements. The lighting element and the heating element are disposed on a common support section of the pressing device in such a way that they are adjustable with an oscillation of the cooktop.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A luminous glazing is provided that includes a pane and a light guide. The pane has two opposite faces and is transparent in the visible spectrum. The light guide has a core surrounded by a cladding so that the core is capable of guiding light along the longitudinal extension of the light guide. The light guide includes a light scattering element so that when light is injected into one of the end faces if the light guide, the light guide is a side-emitting light guide and forms a linear light source. The light guide extends along the faces and is disposed on one face such that the light scattering area is spaced apart from the face and so that light guided in the core, scattered, and laterally exiting from the light guide enters the transparent pane through the face and is be transmitted through the pane to the opposite face.
