Abstract: A variety of illumination devices are disclosed that are configured to manipulate light provided by one or more light-emitting elements (LEEs). In general, embodiments of the illumination devices feature one or more optical couplers that redirect illumination from the LEEs to a reflector which then directs the light into a range of angles. In some embodiments, the illumination device includes a second reflector that reflects at least some of the light from the first reflector. In certain embodiments, the illumination device includes a light guide that guides light from the collector to the first reflector. The components of the illumination device can be configured to provide illumination devices that can provide a variety of intensity distributions. Such illumination devices can be configured to provide light for particular lighting applications, including office lighting, task lighting, cabinet lighting, garage lighting, wall wash, stack lighting, and downlighting.

Abstract: A solid state lamp includes a connector and a bulb portion with multiple strips.

Abstract: A method including applying a coating composition on a substrate to form a coating, wherein the coating has a first surface roughness; transferring a pattern to the coating to form a patterned coating, wherein the patterned coating has a second surface roughness different from the first surface roughness; and curing the patterned coating to form a cured coating with a desired level of gloss.

Abstract: A veneered wood product is made using a multilayer finishing system wherein at least one of the subsurface layers comprises a UV cured cationically polymerized moiety. Coatings based on UV curable cationically polymerizable moieties appear to be less sensitive to UV overexposure and more adherent to wood fibers than corresponding coatings based on UV curable free radically polymerizable moieties. The multilayer wood veneer finishing system can provide improved intercoat adhesion or improved veneer check resistance, especially under factory conditions.
