Patent number: 8878423Abstract: Disclosed is a light-emitting device, including an LED light source and a light diffusion element. The light diffusion element, covering at least a part of the LED light source, is composed of a first polymer, a second polymer, or a blend of them. The first polymer has a larger crystal diameter than that of the second polymer. The first polymer is made of polypropylene or ethylene-propylene copolymer. The second polymer is made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or ethylene-propylene copolymer. A blend of certain ratios of the first and second polymer gives rise of an excellent material that has improved light diffusion. This material can be widely adopted to current light fixtures for its evenly distributed lighting and great brightness.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Pei-Ying Chang, Shi-Ing Huang, Tien-Fu Huang, Chen-Dao Shiao

Patent number: 8776433Abstract: A planting container is suitable for forming planting columns by using ones with the same structure three-dimensionally stacked. The planting columns are arranged around a center line parallel to the gravity direction to set up a planting tower. The planting container includes a bottom wall and a side wall. The side wall extends from the peripheral of the bottom wall and both walls define a containing space. The side wall has a planting opening communicating with the containing space. The side wall has a top end and a bottom end. When two containers with the same structure are three-dimensionally stacked by each other, the bottom end of the upper container engages with the top end of the lower container. The side wall laterally tilts towards the center line relatively to the bottom wall, so that the planting column tilts towards the adjacent column and tilts towards the center line.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Tien-Fu Huang, Chi-Hua Yu, Chen-Dao Shiao, Pei-Ying Chang

Patent number: 8459841Abstract: A lamp assembly is provided, including a light source, a thermal module, a connecting member, and an adapter electrically connected to the light source. The thermal module includes a first thermal member and a second thermal member. The first and second thermal members respectively have a plurality of first and second fins which are arranged in a staggered manner. The second thermal member forms a plurality of through holes for heat dissipation. The light source is disposed on the second thermal member, and the connecting member connects the thermal module with the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2010Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Tien-Fu Huang, Chen-Dao Shiao, Chi-Hua Yu, Kuo-An Wu
