20100033970 | Lighting Device with Variable Angle of Emission - A lighting device with variable angle of emission includes a light source, and a lens system comprising two lenses, a primary lens and a secondary lens. The two lenses and the light source are arranged along an optical axis and the distance between the primary lens and the secondary lens is variable, in order to vary the angle of emission of the cone of light rays generated by the lighting device. In one example, the primary lens has a numerical aperture of at least 0.7, the primary lens is an aplanat, and the secondary lens is designed so as to image to infinity, at a certain distance of the secondary lens from the primary lens, a virtual image of the light source generated by the primary lens. According to a second aspect, the illumination factors are distinguished by the fact that the primary lens has a numerical aperture of at least 0.7, and that the secondary lens may be moved by a distance extending in a range in which the secondary lens does not capture the whole of the cone of light rays generated by the primary lens. | 02-11-2010 |

20100210001 | BIOMASS CULTIVATING INSTALLATION AND METHOD - The invention relates to a biomass cultivating installation (1) comprising a container (7) for receiving a solution containing biomass, at least one optical wave guide (8) guided in the container (7), for supplying light energy to the aqueous solution containing biomass, and a controllable light distributor (6) width is coupled to the optical wave guide (8) for the selective supply of light into selected regions of the container. The container (7) is split into segments comprising light radiation surfaces (9) that can be selectively coupled to the optical wave guide (5) by means of the light distributor (6). The optical wave guide (5) is coupled to a unit (3) for capturing sunlight and guiding the captured solar energy into the optical wave guide (5). A control unit (10) is provided for controlling the light distributor (6), in order to distribute the luminous powers available in the optical wave guide (5) to the light radiation surfaces (9) in such a way that another supply is carried out to a light radiation surface (9) when the at least one light radiation surface (9) supplied with luminous power from the optical wave guide (5) is supplied with a luminous intensity required for the significant mass growth of the biomass, and another luminous intensity is provided for supplying the other light radiation surface (9) also with a luminous intensity required for the significant mass growth of the biomass, and other light radiation surfaces (9) are disconnected such that a pre-determined minimum period of cumulated dark phases is provided according to the cumulated illumination interval of a segment. | 08-19-2010 |
