Title: Method of maintaining a position of an airflow-direction control element of a HVAC system
Inventor: YVAN BOURQUI
IPC: F24F13/14
Filed: 2016-02-25
Abstract: A method S100 of maintaining a position of an airflow-direction control element (16, Fig. 1) of a HVAC system (10, Fig. 1) comprises determining a position of at least one movable member of an airflow-direction control mechanism of the HVAC system (10, Fig. 1) at step 110, followed by calculating whether the movable member is at a target position of the control element (16, Fig. 1) at step 120. If the movable member is not at a target position an actuator (12, Fig. 1) brings the airflow-direction control element towards the target position at step 130. A changed position of the movable member is then determined at step S140 and compared with the target position at step 150. If the movable member is in the target position, the actuator is deactivated at step S155, otherwise steps S120 to S140 are repeated. The position of the actuator (12, Fig. 1) may be an angular position of a rotor of the actuator. A current to the actuator (12, Fig. 1) may be ramped. A HVAC system (10, Fig. 1) is also claimed.

Title: Speckle reduction
Inventor: DAVID J HANSFORD
IPC: G02B27/48
Filed: 2016-08-26
Abstract: A device 100 for speckle reduction, has an optical cell 110 and a controller130. The optical cell 110 has a first and second cell wall 121, 122 spaced apart by a gap, and a liquid crystal composition 114 in the gap.
