Patent number: 8368099Abstract: A light emitting device and a fabricating method thereof are described. The light emitting device includes a substrate, a light emitting chip, a tubular structure, and a fluorescent conversion layer. The tubular structure is formed on a surface of the substrate. The light emitting chip is disposed on the surface of the substrate and is surrounded by the tubular structure. The fluorescent conversion layer is disposed in the tubular structure and covers the light emitting chip. A ratio of a maximal vertical thickness and a maximal horizontal thickness of the fluorescent conversion layer at the light emitting chip is between 0.1 and 10. A distance for the light ray to pass through the fluorescent conversion layer is controlled by using the tubular structure, so as to solve a problem of the conventional art that fluorescent powder coating package technique results in non-uniform color temperature of the emitted light.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2008Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chien-Chun Lu, Chia-Tai Kuo, Chen-Peng Hsu, Hung-Lieh Hu, Chien-Jen Sun

Patent number: 7701947Abstract: A network node sets up a virtual connection in a network based on a virtual connection request initiated from an access port different from a first location previously associated with an account of a user. The network node includes a receiver for receiving a signaling message from the access port requesting the virtual connection. The signaling message has at least one field modified to include an address of the access port. The network node further includes a profile database and a registration server. The profile database stores a service policy associated with the user account. The registration server stores an address of the first location associated with the user account as a default registration, determines whether the user is authorized to establish the virtual connection based on the service policy, and replaces the first location address with the access port address when the user is authorized.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: AT&T Labs, Inc.Inventors: Philip Cunetto, James M.

Patent number: 7577321Abstract: A hybrid electro-optical circuit board including a plate, a light guiding hole and a light-guide device. The light guiding hole is formed in the plate to be connected to an upper surface and a lower surface of the plate. The light-guide device is formed on the lower surface and covers and contacts the light guiding hole. An optical signal is transmitted between the light-guide device and the upper surface of the plate via the light guiding hole. A metal layer is further formed on an inner wall of the light guiding hole, to reduce the roughness of the inner wall and reflects the optical signal by the reflection characteristics of metal. Further, the light guiding hole is filled with a transparent substance to transmit the optical signal and to stop foreign material from entering the light guiding hole.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2007Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chien-Chun Lu, Shin-Ge Lee, Chun-Hsing Lee, Shun-Tien Lee, Ying-Chih Chen

Patent number: 7187678Abstract: A method and system for associating a switched virtual circuit (SVC) connection request from an access port in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network to a subscriber and optionally registering an address of the access port in relation to the subscriber. The method and system include receiving a signaling protocol message requesting the SVC connection from the access port, determining whether the signaling protocol message contains subscriber authentication data and, when authenticated, establishing the SVC connection. Furthermore, the SVC connection may be established only if service policies corresponding to the subscriber retrieved from a database indicate that the subscriber is entitled to make SVC connections. The method and system further include registering an address of the access port in the ATM network by substituting the address of the access port for an original subscriber address.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2001Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: AT&T Labs, Inc.Inventors: Philip Cunetto, James M.
