System for distributing information and energy using fiber optic and optical wireless networks
First Claim
1. A system for distributing at least one of information and photonic energy into at least one room of a building, comprising:
- a lighting generator for generating visible light energy;
an infrared (IR) heat generator for generating IR heat energy;
an optical fiber subsystem for transceiving at least one of the visible light energy and the IR heat energy into the at least one room, wherein the optical fiber subsystem carries the visible light energy, the IR heat energy and optical information signals;
a local transmit and receive element for separating the visible light energy, the IR heat energy and information signals;
a light lens/diffuser for diffusing or focusing the visible light energy into the at least one room;
a heat diffuser for diffusing the IR heat energy into the at least one room; and
a room illuminator/receiver for transceiving the information signals to and from the at least one room.

12. A system for distributing at least one of information and photonic energy into at least one room of a building comprising:
-
a lighting generator for generating visible light energy; an infrared (IR) heat generator for generating IR heat energy; an optical fiber subsystem for transceiving at least one of the visible light energy and the IR heat energy into the at least one room; and a heat dissipation system comprising; a shutter, constructed into a wall defining an inside space and an outside space, for opening and closing to control the flow of heat through the shutter from the inside space to the outside space; a heat sink located adjacent to the wall in the outside space and adjacent to the shutter, for transferring heat from a first location adjacent to the shutter to a second location; and a heat dissipater for dissipating heat from the second location. - View Dependent Claims (13)
