Patent number: 8657464Abstract: Methods and systems of emitting different light from a multiple mode light emitting device are disclosed. An exemplary embodiment has a LED portion with a plurality of first LEDs and a plurality of second LEDs arranged in a first ring centered about a central axis, and a rotatable portion with a plurality of light conditioning elements arranged in a second ring centered about the central axis. The plurality of first LEDs emit and the plurality of second LEDs emit different types of light. Each light conditioning element receives and conditions light from one of the plurality of first LEDs when the light conditioning element is in a first position. Each light conditioning element receives and conditions light from one of the plurality of second LEDs when the light conditioning element is in a second position. The light conditioning elements may be reflector cups or may be lens.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2011Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: John Lundberg, Bo Stout

Patent number: 8573820Abstract: A rear position light-emitting diode (LED) light module for use on an aircraft. The light module includes a single printed circuit board (PCB), at least one light emitting diode attached to a first surface of the PCB and a single reflector and baffle device attached to the PCB. The baffle device provides an illumination pattern having a predefined angular pattern in the first plane. The illumination pattern does not overlap with light illuminated by port and starboard position lights of the aircraft. The baffle device includes a base section being planar, the base section comprises a cavity, first and second side sections attached to a first surface of the base section on opposing sides of the cavity, the first and second side sections intersect the first plane but not the second plane and a plurality of snap fittings attached to a second side of the base section.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2011Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Raghuveer H. Desai, Anita Sure, Bo Stout

Patent number: 8439540Abstract: An aircraft position light assembly having one or more light emitting diode (LED) modules. The LED module can be installed in a variety of aircraft wing-tip cavities. An example LED module includes a support device that mounts within an aircraft wingtip, a bracket device that attaches to the support device, at least one circuit board that mounts to the bracket, and two pairs of LEDs. Each pair of LEDs is mounted on opposing major surfaces at a first end of the circuit board. A first pair of reflectors is attached to the circuit board adjacent to two of the LEDs on the opposing major surfaces. A second pair of reflectors is attached to the circuit board adjacent to the other two LEDs on the opposing major surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2010Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Bo Stout, Timothy A. Holden, Kenneth Colvin, Richard Walker, John Lundberg

Publication number: 20050180144Abstract: A lamp assembly is provided which reduces the illumination of the foreground area in front of a vehicle so as to reduce reflective glare. A movable glare shield is moved into the portion of the beam of light produced by a lamp assembly that is associated with the foreground area, thereby reducing the illumination level in the foreground area. The shield may be rotatably moved out of the light beam to allow for full illumination when glare is not present.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2004Publication date: August 18, 2005Applicant: GUIDE CORPORATION, (a Delaware Corporation)Inventors: Bo Stout, Michael Lisowski

Publication number: 20050135109Abstract: A light assembly is provided which divides a collimated light beam into a plurality of beams using the principle of total internal reflection. A portion of the beam exits a lens in a direction generally parallel to the optical axis of the collimated light beam. A surface within the lens is located such that a portion of the collimated light beam impinges the surface at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing the portion of collimated light to be reflected within the lens. The redirected portion of the collimated light beam may then be used for other purposes such as providing an ornamental feature.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2003Publication date: June 23, 2005Applicant: GUIDE CORPORATION, a Delaware CorporationInventor: Bo Stout

Publication number: 20050067555Abstract: A standalone gradient detector system, utilizing a gradient detector with a several photodetectors, is disclosed. A lamp emits light toward a screen. The light strikes the photodetectors on a photodector array, which communicate the light intensity to a gradient circuit. The gradient circuit compares the intensity values from each photodetector with the intensity value for the photodetector immediately adjacent, and computes a gradient value. The maximum gradient value is displayed using a display device, and the position of the photodetector with the maximum gradient value is indicated by an adjacent light source. The gradient of an automobile headlamp may thus be found easily, assisting in headlamp positioning during headlamp and vehicle manufacture.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2003Publication date: March 31, 2005Applicant: Guide Corporation, A Delaware CorporationInventors: James Roberts, Michael Zollers, Bo Stout
