  • Publication number: 20190181086
    Abstract: An isolation system, isolation device, and Integrated Circuit are disclosed. The isolation system is described to include an integrated circuit chip having a first capacitive plate, a second capacitive plate positioned with respect to the first capacitive plate to enable a capacitive coupling therebetween, an enhanced isolation layer positioned between the first capacitive the second capacitive plate that facilitates an electrical isolation between the first capacitive plate and the second capacitive plate, a first bonding wire that is in electrical communication with the second capacitive plate, and an isolation trench that at least partially circumscribes the first capacitive plate and is positioned between the first capacitive plate and the first bonding wire.

  • Publication number: 20100319716
    Abstract: A smoking device, such as a water pipe or a bong, having an integrated laser diode ignition source. The laser diode ignition source provides a long-lasting life span, and does not require the smoker to use a fuel-based lighter that is not recyclable and requires continuous refilling of the fuel cartridge. Furthermore, the laser diode ignition source does not leave any undesirable aftertaste to the organic material. The ignition source is located within a housing, protected from the environment and wind. The ignition source applies a high intensity laser beam to ignite organic material, such as smokable substances, locating within a bowl adjacent to the ignition source.

  • Publication number: 20100296536
    Abstract: A laser diode lighting device for use in and powered through an incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent light bulb alternating current socket is provided. The lighting device includes a laser diode light, a regulation circuit and a base. The regulation circuit converts an alternating current input to a direct current output. The base is adapted to fit within a conventional light bulb alternating current socket. In addition to the laser diode light, regulation circuit and base, the invention can further include a heat sink that removes heat from the laser diode light, regulation circuit and combinations thereof The laser diode light, regulation circuit, base, and heat sink take the form of a lighting device that is exchangeable with conventional light bulbs in traditional lighting fixtures.
