  • Patent number: 7554752
    Abstract: The lens embraces a bulk-shaped lens body identified by a top surface, a bottom surface and a contour surface, and a well-shaped concavity is implemented in the inside of the lens body, aligned from the bottom surface toward the top surface. The lens body has geometry such as bullet-shape or egg-shape. A ceiling surface of concavity implemented in the lens body serves as a first lens surface, the top surface of the lens body serves as the second lens surface, and inside of the concavity serves as a storing cavity of a light source or a photodetector.

  • Patent number: 7344264
    Abstract: A first light-emitting unit (11a), a second light-emitting unit (11b), . . . are disposed near a tip vicinity of a spinner cover (1) of a propeller (2). The first light-emitting unit (11a) embraces a first bulk-shaped lens of bullet-like, and a semiconductor light-emitting element is installed in a cavity of the first bulk-shaped lens. The second light-emitting unit (11b) embraces a second bulk-shaped lens of bullet-like, and a semiconductor light-emitting element installed in a cavity of the second bulk-shaped lens. The first light-emitting unit (11a) and the second light-emitting unit (11b) are formed so as to be able to attach to and detach from the spinner cover (1) as an attachment (4) for bird strike protection.
