  • Publication number: 20230235872
    Abstract: There is disclosed a forward cooling headlight comprising a body, a lens coupled to the body and a heatsink coupled to the body. There is also a heatpipe and at least one light. The light is coupled to the heatsink, wherein the heatpipe is coupled to the heatsink at a first end, and to the body at a second end. The heatsink draws heat away from the light, via the heatpipe and towards the body. There can be at least one synthetic jet coupled to the heatpipe to aid in cooling the light. In addition, in at least one embodiment, there can be at least two lights with at least two different drivers with a first driver driving a first light and a second driver driving a second light wherein when each of the lights is lit it is capable of generating a different focal point.

  • Patent number: 7759876
    Abstract: A light comprising a housing, a plurality of LED lights coupled in an array inside of the housing, and a reflective protrusion coupled to the housing wherein the reflective protrusion is for reflecting light from the LED lights out of the housing. The housing can be of any shape such as tubular, bowl shaped, or having an oval cross section. In addition, the reflective protrusion can be of any shape such as dome shaped or pyramidal shaped. The circuitry relating to this LED light array can include a power source such as a connection to an AC or DC input. If the connection is to an AC input, the device can also include an AC/DC converter coupled to the power source for receiving an input from the AC power source. In this way the LED array receives a consistent flow of DC current that will not result in the LED lights burning out. To prevent this LED array from burning out there is also a current regulator for controlling a current flowing through this LED array.

  • Publication number: 20070194474
    Abstract: An injection press that has a hydraulic cylinder and a press piston located inside the hydraulic cylinder that is translatable within the cylinder. The press piston divides the hydraulic cylinder into engage and retract chambers. A pump and an auxiliary pressurization device are connected to the engage chamber. A transducer measures the pressure in the engage chamber. A controller receives signals from the transducer and operates the pump. The pump delivers hydraulic fluid to the engage chamber to pressurize and inject resin into a mold cavity through the piston. The controller discontinues operation of the pump when the pressure in the engage chamber reaches a specified cut-off level. The auxiliary pressurization device maintains pressure on the fluid in the engage chamber after the controller discontinues operation of the pump to provide back pressure on the injected resin. The auxiliary pressurization device may be an accumulator that is charged by the pump.
