Patent number: 9967958Abstract: A lighting unit comprises a solid state lighting element (10). An upper housing (18) forms a light mixing chamber (20) over the solid state lighting element (10) and a loop-shaped antenna (22) is held by the upper housing (18), wherein the upper housing (18) comprises a reflective inner wall at least where it defines the mixing chamber (20) and said solid state lighting element (10) is inside said reflective inner wall. This makes use of the component which defines the mixing chamber (20) to hold a loop-shaped antenna (22) in place above the lighting element (10) and therefore away from the heat generated by the lighting element (10) and away from any metallic heat sink or heat spreading components (16).Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2015Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Henricus Mathijs Maria Creemers, Lambertus Adrianus Marinus De Jong, Roger Henri Denker, Dirk Jan Van Kaathoven, Marijn Geels

Patent number: 9184497Abstract: A lighting device, such as a replacement lighting device, comprising a light source (LS), e.g. LEDs, for producing light along an optical axis (OA). A heat sink (HS) made of a material with an electrical resistivity being less than 0.01 ?m, e.g. a metallic heat sink being a part of the housing, transports heat away from the light source (LS). A Radio Frequency (RF) communication circuit (CC) connected to an antenna (A) serves to enable RF signal communication, e.g. to control the device via a remote control. Metallic components, including the heat sink (HS), having an extension larger than 1/10 of a wavelength of the RF signal are arranged below a virtual plane (VP) drawn orthogonal to the optical axis (OA) and going through the antenna (A). Hereby a compact device can be obtained, and still a satisfying RF radiation pattern can be obtained. The antenna can be a wire antenna or a PCB antenna, e.g. a PIFA or a IFA type antenna.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2010Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Bingzhou Chen, Guoping Zhang, Martijn Henri Richard Lankhorst, Roger Henri Denker, Jeroen Snelten, Dennis Johannes Antonius Claessens, Ludo Haenen, Jacobus Hubertus Anna Selen, Patrick Van Kooten

Patent number: 6105371Abstract: The invention relates to the control of air flows for cooling the axial walls of a high-temperature combustion chamber in which the walls are provided with through holes forming multiple perforations, and involves arranging the multiple perforations so that the cooling airflow permeability of the walls in the downstream zone of the chamber decreases in the downstream direction in order to compensate for the effects of the increase in pressure drop due to variation of the gas flow velocity. The invention is particularly applicable to sharply convergent combustion chambers such as twin-head combustion chambers.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1998Date of Patent: August 22, 2000Assignee: Societe Nationale d'Etude et de Construction de Moteurs d'Aviation "Snecma"Inventors: Denis Roger Henri Ansart, Denis Jean Maurice Sandelis

Patent number: 6070412Abstract: The invention relates to a combustion chamber containing a number of aerohanical injectors mounted in the end of the chamber that connects the upstream end of two annular walls and which are supplied with fuel permanently during operation. The injectors are arranged in two concentric rows around the axis of symmetry and in pairs in longitudinal planes passing through the axis of symmetry. The injectors of the two rows are more or less equidistant from the outlet of the chamber and have axes directed toward the outlet. A carefully considered distribution of the primary holes, dilution holes and the air flow allows the emissions of oxides of nitrogen to be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1998Date of Patent: June 6, 2000Assignee: Societe National d'Etude et de Construction de Moteurs d'Aviation "Snecma"Inventors: Denis Roger Henri Ansart, Bruno James, Michel Andre Albert Desaulty, Richard Emile Staessen
