  • Patent number: 8540409
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, the light guide (10) comprises a single-pieced light guide body (1). The light guide body (1) includes a transparent material and a light entrance segment (2) having a first cross-section (11) with a polygonal shape. Furthermore, the light guide body (1) includes a light output segment (4) having a second cross-section (22) with a rotund, round, circular, oval or elliptic shape. A transition segment (3) is arranged adjacent to and between the light entrance segment (2) and the light output segment (4). Along the transition segment (3), the first cross-section (11) in particular continuously changes to the second cross-section (22).

  • Publication number: 20070162473
    Abstract: The present invention provides mathematical model-based incremental clustering methods for classifying sets of data and predicting new data values, based upon the concepts of similarity and cohesion. In order to increase processing efficiency, these methods employ weighted attribute relevance in building unbiased classification trees and sum pairing to reduce the number of nodes visited when performing classification or prediction operations. In order to increase prediction accuracy, these methods employ weighted voting over each value of target attributes to calculate a prediction profile. The present invention also allows an operator to determine the importance of attributes and reconstitute classification trees without those attributes deemed unimportant to further increase classification structure node processing efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20060061990
    Abstract: A LED bulb and light module utilizes a LED light source and directs light therefrom in a manner which improves efficiency and illumination. Ideally, the LED bulb is structured to create a virtual image whereby the efficiency of light directed out of the module is greatly improved, even with a single LED light source.
