  • Patent number: 12460790
    Abstract: Aspects and embodiments disclosed herein include an illumination apparatus comprising an LED light generating device comprising groups of LEDs spatially distributed on an emission surface for the generation of light, the generated light being emitted from the emission surface of the LED light generating device through a transparent and resistant protective screen of the LED light generating device, and comprising a replaceable light shaping device mounted in front of the transparent protective screen of the LED light generating device for shaping the light emitted from the emission surface of the LED light generating device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11105491
    Abstract: A light-producing assembly for a spotlight for illuminating film, studio, stage, event and/or theater surroundings comprises a carrier, on which an LED arrangement with a multiplicity of LEDs is arranged. Here, the LEDs are provided by N>2 different color types. The assembly also comprises a line system for supplying power to the LEDs, which comprises a multiplicity of lines with N line types, wherein lines of different line types cross in crossing regions and the crossing regions lie outside of a vertical projection surface of footprint sides of the LEDs in a vertical plan view of the carrier front side. Further, the assembly comprises an optical unit coupled to the LED arrangement, said optical unit spanning the totality of the LEDs. Moreover, a spotlight comprises such a light-producing assembly.

  • Patent number: 10589384
    Abstract: Method for processing of material by use of a pulsed laser Each laser pulse is shaped regarding its beam profile so that a cross sectional area, which is defined by a cross section of the laser pulse in its focal point orthogonal to its propagation direction, is of particular shape and has a main extension axis of greater extent than its minor extension axis. One major crack is effected by each laser pulse, the major crack having a lateral extension basically oriented according to the main extension axis of the respective pulse in the focal point. Furthermore, each laser pulse is emitted so that the orientation of its main extension axis in the focal point corresponds to a pre-defined orientation relative to an orientation of a respective tangent to the processing path at the assigned processing point.
