Abstract: An alcoholic beverage maturing device is provided including a container and an ultrasonic energy device. The container defines an interior volume for holding an alcoholic beverage and the ultrasonic energy device is configured for subjecting the alcohol beverage within the interior volume of the container to ultrasonic energy. The ultrasonic energy device defines a range of exposure of ultrasonic energy to the interior volume of the container that is greater than 180 degrees in order to efficiently subject the alcoholic beverage contained therein to ultrasonic energy.

Abstract: A LED-based lighting assembly uses minimized distance between an LED source and a diffuser to reduce form factor size, and convex optics, elliptical diffusion and lateral recycling to produce from mini- or micro-chip LEDs a uniform geometrical shape for lit-pixel display of information at high definition. A less than one-to-one (1:1) ratio of LED chip distance and vertical distance between chip and diffuser is achieved with desired uniformity of lit-pixel displays. Reduced distance between diffuser and LEDs and an improved optic provide for more dense yet compact configuration of LEDs in lighting components of automobile grilles and emblems and other lit branding or safety devices in commercial and residential applications.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multicolor LED assembly packaged with improved and controlled color mixing to create a more uniform color mixture. The assembly includes at least one lens overlying an encapsulant which encapsulates a plurality of LED dies. The lens includes a top surface and a bottom surface with the contour of the bottom surface designed to redirect light from each of the LED dies in different directions towards the top surface of the lens. The contoured shaped of the bottom surface of the lens redirects light from each of the plurality of LED dies such that illuminance and luminous intensity distributions of the plurality of LED dies substantially overlap, wherein the deviation from complete overlap is less than a predetermined amount which is substantially imperceptible to the average human eye.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a compact optical assembly which improves collimation of light produced by multiple LED light sources in a light engine. A shaped primary reflector located over the light engine reflects the light toward a larger shaped secondary reflector. The shapes of the reflectors are selected to cooperatively produce a highly collimated light beam. Color mixing may be improved by providing a plurality of facets on the reflective surfaces of at least one of the primary reflector or the secondary reflector.

Abstract: The present invention relates to warm white light engines including combinations of blue, cyan, and red, red-orange, or amber emitters and one or more phosphors that produce a white light pleasing to the human eye through the use of improved color uniformity and improved collimation of light. Specifically, a micro-lenslet array having an optimized surface is used to disperse light from the light emitter; an innercollimation lens having an optimized cross-sectional shape and micro-ridges is used to disperse light; a TIR reflector having an optimized cross-sectional shape and micro-ridges is used to disperse and redistribute phase as well as provide collimation; and a final micro-lenslet layer includes optimized lenslet design placement and randomization factor to homogenize light to produce a uniform warm white light.
