  • Patent number: 10121823
    Abstract: An LED chip for use in an LED chip array forming a continuous array of LEDs. The LED chip comprises an array of LEDs on a substrate. LEDs in a row of the array are longitudinally offset from corresponding LEDs in another row. Adjacent LEDs in each row of the array are separated by a longitudinal pitch. At least part of an end face of the substrate is angled with respect to a transverse axis of the LED chip such that the LED chip is positionable adjacent another LED chip to maintain the longitudinal pitch between adjacent LEDs on different chips.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9515238
    Abstract: An integrated LED device is provided. The LED device includes a substrate. The LED device includes a semiconductor material including a light generating layer and positioned on the substrate. The semiconductor material and/or the substrate are configured to control light internally to output quasi-collimated light from a light emitting surface of the LED device. The LED device includes an optical component positioned at the light emitting surface and configured to receive quasi-collimated light exiting the light emitting surface and to alter one or more optical properties of at least some beams of the quasi-collimated light.

  • Publication number: 20140075823
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to fishing sinkers and weights, and more specifically to a fishing weight having optimized buoyancy characteristics such that the weight tends to rest on top of foreign submerged material, e.g. water-milfoil, rather than sinking into and becoming entangled in the material. In a preferred embodiment, the fishing weight comprises a cylindrically shaped body made of a synthetic cork material, e.g. a synthetic wine bottle cork, which on its own tends to float in water. The fishing weight further comprises a weight element inserted into the body to achieve optimal buoyancy characteristics of the apparatus as a whole. Finally, each of two opposing ends of the cylindrically shaped body have attached thereto means for connecting the fishing weight to at least one of fishing line and/or a leader line having a hook at the end thereof.
