  • Patent number: 7832878
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to video and/or television projection systems, and more particularly, to LED based light source systems utilizing generally non-rotationally symmetric, preferably oblong or rectangular, non-imaging collection optics for providing improved projection systems relative to arc lamp and other LED based light source systems. The non-rotationally symmetric non-imaging collection optics are configured to operate with LEDs to provide preferred, generally, uniform light distributions whose étendues match those of downstream applications such as those encountered in projection systems. Also provided are various arrangements for coupling LED output to the entrance aperture of collection optics and for coupling the outputs from a plurality of collection optic outputs to form single beams of illumination of preferred patterns, intensities, and color.

  • Publication number: 20070128745
    Abstract: A phosphor deposition process and apparatus that enables an efficient, consistent, and flexible white light LED light engine by spraying a conformal coating of phosphor matrix onto an array of LEDs to achieve high color uniformity, consistency, and efficiency. A predetermined ratio of one or more phosphor powders are mixed with a support matrix (preferably silicone), the types and amounts of which are calculated to provide a predetermined spectral output. A low-viscosity carrier is introduced into the phosphor matrix to allow for further processing and deposition. The phosphor matrix and carrier mixture is atomized and sprayed in one or more uniform layers onto one or more LED devices. Computerized control, movable stages, and in-process spectral monitoring are incorporated to provide rapid and accurate processing of LED devices.

  • Patent number: 6422745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a combustion temperature sensor, and, more particularly, to a combustion temperature sensor that measures infrared radiation emitted at several preselected wavelengths from a flame and/or a flame's hot gas at a turbine inlet location and applies the energy signals. to a calculation model to yield temperature.
