  • Patent number: 9784435
    Abstract: The improvements include an illuminator for a gun comprising a manually manipulated and storable external IR filter with a plurality of radially directed circumferential tabs integrally extending from the frame to allow a manual torque to be applied to the frame to manually screw it into and out of the bezel in the field. A high g-force diaphragm shock mount for the lamp includes a receptacle which positions the longitudinal axis of the lamp on the optical axis of the reflector. The field serviceable lamp assembly is an integrated or modular and sealed unit. A field serviceable electronics module is accessed by removing the rear bezel. The illuminator handle includes a double locked latch lever. A T-Slot to Picatinny adapter allows a SureFire T-rail fitting of the handle to fit a conventional Picatinny rail.

  • Patent number: 8529081
    Abstract: A lighting device with thermal management may be, for example, a headlamp device that includes a light source and a housing. The housing includes a first portion comprising a first set of external surfaces adapted to operate as a first heat sink to dissipate heat from within the first portion. The light source is disposed within the first portion. The housing also includes a second portion comprising a second set of external surfaces adapted to operate as a second heat sink to dissipate heat from within the second portion. Substantially all external surfaces of the of housing are adapted to be exposed to ambient air when the headlamp device is in use and are included in the first and second sets of external surfaces. Methods and other lighting devices are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8395058
    Abstract: A metal core circuit board assembly includes a circuit board having a through hole in an embodiment. A shaft for a pin is inserted in the through hole such that cap of the pin abuts a foil layer on the circuit board. The shaft diameter is sufficiently smaller than the through hole diameter such that the shaft is electrically isolated from a metal core for the circuit board. The cap is undercut about the through hole to further isolate the pin from the non-electrically isolated portion of the metal core circuit board.
