  • Publication number: 20070120137
    Abstract: A modular semiconductor light source assembly includes a semiconductor light source, such as a light emitting diode, which is mounted on a substrate which supplies electricity to the light source and which assists in removing waste heat therefrom. Substantially all of the light emitted by the LED is transferred to a lens by a light pipe, the cross section of the light pipe increasing from the light source to the lens and the lens having a general D-shape such that the light pattern formed by the lens is constrained in a first direction orthogonal to a second direction. The assembly can be combined with other similar assemblies or other light sources in a light fixture to produce a desired overall beam pattern such as a automobile headlamp low beam or high beam pattern.

  • Publication number: 20060114673
    Abstract: A lamp has a non-electrically conductive housing. One or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) are attached to the housing by one or more beads of electrically conductive epoxy. The LEDs can optionally be mechanically attached to the housing. The electrically conductive epoxy provides one or more voltage rails for connecting the LEDs to driving circuitry.

  • Publication number: 20050093684
    Abstract: A frame assembly positions a license plate along a back end of a motor vehicle. The frame assembly includes a base frame adapted to be secured along the back end of the motor vehicle to retain the license plate thereto. A camera is secured to the base frame to produce an image representing an area adjacent to and behind the back end of the motor vehicle. A camera light is fixedly secured to the base frame for illuminating the area adjacent to and behind the back end of the motor vehicle. The camera light assists the camera in producing the image during low lighting conditions.
