Abstract:
- The special shape of the `Genius slats' of a new venetian blind ensures good sun-shading properties which are relatively independent of the actual setting of the slats over broad ranges, which ensures robust performance despite so-called `faulty operation'.In other words: The performance of the new venetian blind is relatively insensitive to different utilisation modes.
