  • Patent number: 7090370
    Abstract: An exterior luminaire comprising an array of light emitting diodes (2) within an outer body (12). Also within the outer body (12) is housed apparatus (7) for collecting and converting radiation into electrical energy so as to provide at least a part of the power required by the light emitting diodes (2), at least one light reflecting member (22) for reflecting light emitted by the light emitting diodes (2) out of the outer body (12), a light diffusing member (16) in the path of the reflected light, and means for maintaining the temperature around the array of light emitting diodes (2) within a predetermined range.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 2002
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2006

  • Patent number: 6338939
    Abstract: A read/write head is provided with an embedded planar dual coil write structure. The head includes generally parallel shield, shield/pole, and pole layers. The shield/pole layer abuts a generally coplanar planarization layer in one embodiment. A circuitous recess is defined in the shield/pole and planarization layer, spanning the junction twice and encircling a central hub of adjoining shield/pole and planarization layer material. A write structure is located in the recess, with the shield/pole layer, planarization layer, and embedded write structure forming a substantially flat surface for building the pole layer. The write structure includes first and second substantially co-planar multi-turn flat coils, where turns of the first write coil are interspersed with turns of the second write coil. The first and second write coils reside in the circuitous recess, winding around the central hub. An insulating material separates the first and second coils.

  • Patent number: 6251562
    Abstract: An antireflective composition includes a polyphenolic polymer which has a first repeating unit and a second repeating unit of the formula: wherein each of R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 is individually a hydroxy group, hydrogen or an azo dye and only one of R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 is a hydroxy group.
