Abstract: Embodiments as disclosed herein provide a method and system that characterizes physical properties, such as thickness, uniformity, polarization, and/or sizes and locations of defect (e.g. defect density distribution) of crystalline structures grown on or thin films deposited on a substrate of a solid state light emitting device. The embodiments disclosed herein generally include exciting the light emitting device with an energy source and analyze optical energy emitted by the crystalline structures grown on or the thin films deposited on the substrate.

Abstract: A system and method of testing High Brightness LED (HBLED) is provided, and more particularly, a system and method of Controlled Energy Testing of HBLED with improved accuracy and repeatability is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a programmable constant power source for providing a constant power to a Device Under Test (DUT), in this case, an HBLED, wherein the programmable constant power source adjusts an output voltage or an output current to ensure that a given amount of power is supplied to the HBLED for a predetermined amount of time and to provide precise control of a junction temperature of the HBLED for the duration of the test sequences; a Parametric Measurement Unit (PMU) including a processor for executing a plurality of HBLED test sequences, and a spectrometer for measuring a set of HBLED parameters including power and color (wavelength) of an optical output of the HBLED; and a controller for coordinating timing of acquiring the set of measured HBLED parameters.

Abstract: A system and method of quantifying color and intensity of light sources including LEDs, HBLEDs (High Brightness LEDs), and other Solid State Lights (SSLs) using C-parameters to model a Spectral Power Distribution (SPD) to improve precision, accuracy, repeatability and usefulness of measurement of optical properties of wavelength and radiant flux in manufacturing of an object, designing products and processes that use the object, and describing/defining the object, is provided.

Abstract: An impact attenuating tile system that can be selectively installed and uninstalled without damaging the modular tiles making up the system is disclosed. The system uses a support ladder to support the seam between two modular tiles. The seam can support wheelchairs and other heavy equipment positioned on the seam between two tiles without the tiles coming apart. Additionally, the tiles can be selectively removed without damaging or disfiguring the tiles. The system taught herein allows a user to implement a system which provides fall height attenuation, is ADA complaint, is not prone to creating tripping hazards even under high loads, and can be removed or replaced as deemed appropriate and can be selectively removed without cutting, disfiguring compromising the tiles.

Abstract: A system and method of providing a wheelchair accessible path through a variety of impact attenuating surfaces including loose fill materials. The combination of a tarmac and loose fill material provides an ASTM compliant impact attenuating surface for playgrounds and other activities. The modular tarmac 15 is also used in wet conditions to improve the traction and impact attenuation over traditional materials used in water parks, and also for reducing wear to park patrons' feet.

Abstract: A training aid for monitoring and improving the orientation a golfer's hands while gripping the golf club as well as the golf club itself during the swing thereof, wherein the structure of the training aid is such as to allow it to be removably attached to the golf club and travel therewith during the swing without interfering with the normal path of the golf club during such swing. A base assembly comprises a housing removably connected to the club shaft and a reference assembly movably interconnected to the housing and positionable into an operative position. The reference assembly includes one or more legs disposable radially outward from the housing and into frontal alignment with a longitudinal axis of the golf club when in the operative position such that the one leg and/or an indicator structure thereon is readily observable as the club travels along the swing path.

Abstract: A pump having a plastic body which includes first and second body ends. The first body end of the pump body defines a metering chamber and has an inlet valve including a valve seat and a ball disposed therein. The second body end of the pump body cooperates with a spray tube carrying an outlet valve positioned near a bottom end thereof and mounted for axial movement with respect to the pump body. A helical spring surrounds the spray tube wherein a top end of the spray tube defines a laterally extending shoulder of which the helical spring abuts at one end. Both the pump body and the ball of the inlet valve are fabricated from a transparent or at least translucent plastic material.
