20150286948 | OCCUPANCY DETECTION METHOD AND SYSTEM - The present invention relates generally to the field of occupancy detection, and more particularly to an occupancy detection system and a corresponding method suitable for a presence controlled system. A method and system for determining occupancy of a room is provided, in which a signal from a movement sensor positioned in the room is analyzed to detect variations in the signal which correspond to movements of an occupant of the room. The room is determined to be empty if in the received signal a leave pattern is identified. The leave pattern is a predetermined pattern which has been associated with an occupant leaving the room. The method and system provide reliable occupancy detection in more or less static environments like for instance offices, and when utilized in for instance a presence controlled lighting system, the number of frustrating erroneous “switch-off” events of the light in a situation where a room is still occupied by occupants involved in relative still/static activities is then decreased. | 10-08-2015 |

20080227120 | FRET-BASED ASSAY FOR SCREENING MODULATORS OF RECEPTOR CYCLING - Automated FRET imaging of membrane-bound receptor/ligand complexes can discriminate between a clustered organization of ligand/receptor complexes that occurs during the early endocytic stages following internalization and a random distribution characteristic of late stage disassociation of ligand from the receptor. In the case of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) and its ligand, LDL, this feature of FRET imaging forms the basis of an assay to monitor the endosomal release of cholesterol into the cell and identify compounds which alter pH in the endosome thereby inhibiting the disassociation of ligand and cholesterol from the receptor, a mechanism that is involved in regulation of plasma/serum cholesterol. | 09-18-2008 |
