  • Patent number: 11578845
    Abstract: A lighting system for providing uniform bright lighting of products within in a glass door refrigerated cabinet. The lighting system has a frame member with an angled wing extending therefrom that wraps around a side edge of a light-transmitting optical shield, and a LED lighting strip positioned between the frame member and the optical shield. The LED lighting strip has a plurality of spaced-apart LED lights mounted therealong with a coined reflective facet optic mounted around each LED light. The angled wing(s) reflects light emitted laterally outwards from the at least one LED lighting strip such that the light can be re-directed to evenly illuminate products in a refrigerated cabinet. The angled wing(s) also protects a user's fingers from cracking the plastic optical shield which can become brittle in the cool or cold temperatures of the refrigerated cabinet.

  • Patent number: 11119300
    Abstract: An assembly for use in a microscope having an objective assembly including an aperture. The assembly includes a lens and a beamsplitter. configured to form a respective aperture image on each of two optical paths. The assembly further includes, on each optical path, a stop structure located on a plane of the respective aperture image, so as to block a portion of the respective aperture image in order to provide an exit pupil, such that a stereoscopic image of an object viewed through the microscope is produceable by the combination of the images of the object visible through each exit pupil. Image sensors are configured to capture an image visible through the respective exit pupil and to output a digital image. A digital image processor is configured to apply a correction to the respective digital image output by each image sensor, based on the position of the respective stop structure.
