  • Patent number: 9472534
    Abstract: A method of arranging a multiplicity of LEDs in packaging units includes defining a desired range for at least one photometric measurement variable for each of the packaging units; selecting an LED from the multiplicity of LEDs not yet arranged in one of the packaging units; measuring the at least one photometric measurement variable for the selected LED; equipping one of the packaging units containing fewer than N?1 LEDs with the selected LED; storing a measured value and a position of the selected LED in the packaging unit in a memory; repeating until the packaging units are equipped with N?1 LEDs; repeating and calculating the average value of the photometric measurement variable, equipping a packaging unit for which the calculated average value of the variable lies in a defined range with the selected LED; and storing the measured value and the position of the selected LED.

  • Patent number: 8360601
    Abstract: An LED module includes a carrier and a number of light sources. Each light source is arranged on the carrier in such a way that the LED module comprises a radiation uniformity which is less than the statistical mean of a radiation uniformity distribution, wherein the radiation uniformity distribution is based on a plurality of LED modules with a random arrangement of the light sources.

  • Patent number: 5445318
    Abstract: A thermostatic safety valve includes a cage (1) inserted in an engine cooling circuit and defining an upstream chamber (16) having a flow opening (5) and a downstream chamber (17) having a flow opening (6) with communication between the chambers being controlled by a moving valve member (15, 26) cooperating with a fixed seat (23) and carried by a thermostatic capsule (9) which is subjected to the opposing actions of a thermally expandable material (14) that it contains acting on a thrust element (8) and spring (18). The valve member comprises two elements, a central element (15) integral with the capsule (9) and urged by a spring (18) towards the seat (23), and a peripheral seal (26) having a deformable lip seal (29) engageable with the valve seat in the closed position of the valve and disengageable from the valve seat for movement into the downstream chamber by the force of the spring in the event of leaking of the thermally expendable material from the capsule and/or breaking of the thrust element.

  • Patent number: 5381951
    Abstract: A thermostatic safety valve includes a cage (1) inserted in an engine cooling circuit and defining an upstream chamber (16) having a flow opening (5) and a downstream chamber (17) having a flow opening (6) with communication between the chambers being controlled by a compound moving valve member (15, 21) cooperating with a fixed seat (23) and carried by a thermostatic capsule (9) which is subjected to the opposing actions of a thermally expandable material (14) that it contains and springs (18, 22). The valve member comprises two elements, firstly a peripheral element (21) situated in the upstream chamber (16) and urged by a first spring (22) against the seat (23), and secondly a central element (15) integral with the capsule (9) and pressing against the downstream face of the peripheral valve element (21) by the action of the capsule and thermally expandable material (14) and moving away therefrom under the force of a second spring (18).
