  • Publication number: 20190094452
    Abstract: A light-emitting indicator can include a molded, transparent housing formed with a central area shaped as a square that extends in a plane. A plurality of light emitting diodes, optionally formed integrally with the housing, can be positioned along edges of a square that surrounds the central area. The light emitting diodes can emit light to propagate inside the housing toward the central area. A light guide, optionally formed integrally with the housing, can be positioned in a peripheral area shaped to include an area between two concentric squares that surround the central area. The light guide can direct the emitted light out of the plane. Control circuitry can be positioned along the edges of the square that includes the light emitting diodes. The control circuitry can cause the light emitting diodes to blink at a specified frequency, which can draw the attention of a user.

  • Publication number: 20180354562
    Abstract: A bamboo and/or vegetable cane composite decking and process of manufacturing. The composite decking includes planks formed from a core of bamboo fibers and a polymer layer that covers the top, bottom, and opposing side surfaces of the core. The core includes mats of bamboo fibers stacked together into layers such that the vegetable fibers extend generally parallel to the axial direction of the core. The polymer layer includes a polymer material that protects the vegetable fibers within the core from environmental damage and provides impact resistance to increase the longevity and durability of the plank. The polymer layer can also include bamboo fibers and/or dust that are mixed in with the polymer material to further increase the toughness and durability of the polymer layer.

  • Publication number: 20180299230
    Abstract: A vegetable cane fiber ballistic impact panel and process of manufacturing the ballistic panel. The ballistic panel includes a plurality of vegetable cane fibers (e.g., bamboo fibers) impregnated with a polymer. The vegetable cane fibers are formed into mats of interconnected and entangled fibers and the polymer is formed into polymer films. The polymer films and mats are arranged into a layered assembly having an alternating arrangement and pressed together. The layered assembly is heated to soften the polymer and allow it to flow around the vegetable cane fibers to impregnate the vegetable cane fibers and then cooled. The vegetable cane fibers are generally uniformly distributed through the entire thickness of the panel and vegetable cane fibers originally formed within different mats are entangled with each other.

  • Patent number: 10019879
    Abstract: A smoke detector having a light source for generating a beam of light is disclosed. The smoke detector is arranged to transmit the beam along an optical axis and includes a sensor for receiving light scattered from the beam off the optical axis by smoke; and a light trap comprising one or more walls that define a volume for receiving light that passes unscattered from the light source past the sensor along the optical axis. The volume includes a first end closest on the optical axis to the light source; and a second end furthest on the optical axis from the light source. The volume is open at said first end but is otherwise closed, and at least one of the walls is sloped from the first end to the second end, such that the light trap progressively narrows from the first end axially towards the second end.

  • Patent number: 9937685
    Abstract: A natural fiber-based, engineered beam assembly comprising opposing top and bottom surfaces, opposing first and second side surfaces and a longitudinal axis. Loads applied to the beam assembly are normal to the top surface. Substantially parallel layers of flattened bamboo or vegetable cane culms are stacked and laminated together. Each layer is formed by at least one culm, and each culm has fiber bundles extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and are impregnated with a binder. The density of the fiber bundles in the culm decreases across the culm's thickness from the exterior surface to the interior surface. At least a plurality of the culms have a common orientation, wherein the exterior surfaces face toward a same one of the top, bottom, first or second side surfaces.
