Dawn, from an Old English verb dagian: "to become day", is the time that marks the beginning of twilight before sunrise. It is recognized by the appearance of indirect sunlight being scattered in the atmosphere, when the centre of the Sun's disc reaches 18° below the horizon. This dawn twilight period will last until sunrise (when the Sun's upper limb breaks the horizon), as the diffused light becomes direct sunlight.

Nighttime-controlled lighting system

A time-controlled security lighting system records the length of nighttime and is capable of automatically adjusting for seasonal nighttime hours. The time duration between the initial nighttime darkness and the light of dawn, as sensed from the prior day by a photocell, is measured and recorded in memory. As the surrounding area becomes dark, the lighting system is activated to provide the illumination for the area. The duration of illumination is determined based on a predetermined fraction of the recorded length of nighttime from the previous night. The control system can adjust the duration of illumination according the recorded nighttime durations from the previous night. The control system can also adjust the level of illumination based on the signals from a motion detector, where the lights are set at a higher brightness for a predetermined amount of time upon detection of motion.

Easy wake system and method

A user is aroused from sleep by applying a stimulus of light to simulate dawn. The device operates to monitor movements of a sleeping subject by the use of one or more motion sensors. The detected movements are used to identify the sleep cycle timings for the user. The user can then be aroused during a light phase of sleep by timing the dawn simulator to increase to sufficient brightness to arouse the user during a light stage of sleep that is proximate to a desired wake up time.

Solar central receiver system employing common positioning mechanism for heliostats

A solar central receiver system employing common positioning mechanism for heliostats relates to a system of concentrating and harvesting solar energy. The heliostats of said system are positioned like facets of a Fresnel type of reflector. The heliostats are placed in arrays, wherein each array has a common positioning mechanism. The common positioning mechanism synchronously maneuvers the arrays of heliostats in altitudinal and / or azimuthal axis for tracking an apparent movement of the sun. The common positioning mechanism is employed for synchronously orienting said heliostats with respect to a stationary object and the sun such that incident solar radiation upon said heliostats is focused upon said stationary object from dawn to dusk. Subsequent to each said orientation of said heliostats, collective disposition of said heliostats always forms an arrangement that is capable of reflecting and thereby focusing incident solar radiation upon said stationary object.

Apparatus and method of energy efficient illumination

An illumination system correlates solar time to a clock and controls lighting or illumination based on time. The illumination system may turn ON light source(s) at a first level at a turn ON time, correlated to be around or at dusk, and turn OFF light source(s) at a turn OFF time, correlated to be around or at dawn. The illumination system may reduce a level of light output, and hence power consumption, at a time after turning ON a light source, and increases the level of light output at a time prior to turning OFF the light source. Turn ON, turn OFF, decrease and increase times may be determined based on recent levels of light or illumination in the environment, for example via average or median levels over a number of previous daily cycles. Filtering may eliminate aberrant events.

This invention relates to a rating method and apparatus that quantifies competitive advantage based on measurements of how well companies are delivering on consumer desires when benchmarked against their industry peers. More specifically, the method measures the existence of one or more barriers to entry, referred to herein as barriers, which companies build in order to protect their superior financial performance from competitors. The ratings further quantify the company's strength of their performance on the individual attributes that define each barrier. To begin analyzing competitive advantage in an industry, the Competitive Advantage rating method and apparatus starts by examining a company's past financial records. Using standard factor analysis, three sources of competitive advantage exist: Supply Chain, Products and Delivery Chain. Each source has three barriers for a total of 9 barriers common to every industry. While the sources of advantage have been around for centuries, since the dawn of business, this method identifies the drivers behind consumer desires and company delivery for each barrier.
