    Abstract: There is described an atmospheric water generation system and method. At least one atmospheric water generation unit is provided which includes at least two successive processing stages (AB/VC). Each processing stage (AB/VC) includes an adsorbent structure (AB) comprising an adsorbent material, which adsorbent structure (AB) is coupled to an adjacent vapor chamber (VC) to allow vapor transfer thereto. During an adsorption phase, moist ambient air is circulated through the adsorbent structures to cause adsorption of water therein. During a desorption phase, thermal energy is provided to the adsorbent structures (AB) to cause water adsorbed therein the be desorbed into water vapor. This water vapor transits to the adjacent vapor chamber (VC) where the water vapor condenses into a condensate.

    Abstract: There is described a method of cooling a device generating thermal energy, which device may especially be a photovoltaic device (PV). A thermally conductive substrate (100) is provided, which is coupled to a portion of the device (PV) generating thermal energy to allow heat transfer therefrom to the thermally conductive substrate (100). A porous wick structure (WS) is further provided, which is coupled to the thermally conductive substrate (100). This porous wick structure (WS) is configured to be wettable by a liquid cooling medium (W) and be partly exposed to air. The porous wick structure (WS) is wetted by means of the liquid cooling medium (W) and subjected to the action of an airflow to cause evaporation of the liquid cooling medium (W) at an interface between the wetted porous wick structure (WS) and air, thereby inducing cooling by evaporation. Also described is cooling apparatus suitable for carrying out such method.

    Abstract: There is described a sunlight steering apparatus (10) comprising upper and lower rotatable disk-shaped prism arrays (100, 200) that are positioned one above the other for rotation about a common rotation axis (RA). Each of said upper and lower rotatable disk-shaped prism arrays (100, 200) is supported such that incident sunlight is allowed to pass successively through the upper rotatable disk-shaped prism array (100) and then through the lower rotatable disk-shaped prism array (200). An optical path of incident sunlight passing through the upper and lower rotatable disk-shaped prism arrays (100, 200) is selectively adjustable by rotation of the upper rotatable disk-shaped prism array (100) and/or the lower rotatable disk-shaped prism array (200). The sunlight steering apparatus (10) further comprises first and second drive units (D1, D2) that are configured to respectively drive the upper and lower rotatable disk-shaped prism arrays (100, 200) into rotation about the common rotation axis (RA) to cause adjustment of the optical path of incident sunlight passing through the upper and lower rotatable disk-shaped prism arrays (100, 200).

    Abstract: The present invention concerns a hand holdable writing tool for generating a visual representation on a writable-erasable, passive medium. The invention also provides the assembly of the writing tool and the medium. The writing tool comprises a sensor capable of sensing non-visible light, and a data processing entity, configured for activating and/or disactivating individual inducer entities of the tool, thereby inducing image elements of the medium to generate said visual representation.

    Abstract: There is described a process of signing documents comprising generating a document identification (DID) from a digital copy (DOCDC) of a document to be signed by at least one signatory and encoding the document identification (DID) into one or more watermarks (WM; WMSA;...). A hard copy (DOCHC) of the document to be signed incorporating the one or more watermark (WM; WMSA;...) is produced. The one or more watermarks (WM; WMSA;...) provided on the hard copy (DOCHC) of the document is/are read using an optical reader device (ORD; 10) and the document identification ([DID]ENC) encoded into the one or more watermarks (WM; WMSA) read by the optical reader device (ORD; 10) is decoded. The hard copy (DOCHC) of the document to be signed is associated to the digital copy (DOCDC) of the document to be signed based on the decoded document identification ([DID]DEC). Signing of the document by the at least one signatory is performed using a digital signing device (DSD; 10), and signatory information (KSIG) unique to the at least one signatory using the digital signing device (DSD; 10) is obtained. Finally, a digital signature (SIG) of the digital copy (DOCDC) of the document is generated based on the decoded document identification ([DID]DEC) and the signatory information (KSIG), following which the digital signature (SIG) is applied to the digital copy (DOCDC) of the document to produce a digitally signed copy (DOCSIG) of the document.
