Patent number: 11265692Abstract: A circuit breaker is for protecting a low-voltage circuit when current or current-time limits are exceeded in the low-voltage circuit. The circuit breaker includes an electronic trip unit which initiates an interruption or reduction of the current flow in the low-voltage circuit when first current or current-time limits are exceeded, and second current or current-time limits stored in the electronic trip unit, which are characterized by lower current limits or lower current-time limits, the second limits being activatable by an initiated switchover. A communication unit connected to the electronic trip unit is provided, which enables wireless communication, and the circuit breaker is designed such that when a wireless communication signal is received that exceeds a field strength value, the second limits are activated.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventor: Gerd Mueller

Patent number: 8080828Abstract: Low profile, side-emitting LEDs are described that generate white light, where all light is emitted within a relatively narrow angle generally parallel to the surface of the light-generating active layer. The LEDs enable the creation of very thin backlights for backlighting an LCD. In one embodiment, the LED emits blue light and is a flip chip with the n and p electrodes on the same side of the LED. Separately from the LED, a transparent wafer has deposited on it a red and green phosphor layer. The phosphor color temperature emission is tested, and the color temperatures vs. positions along the wafer are mapped. A reflector is formed over the transparent wafer. The transparent wafer is singulated, and the phosphor/window dice are matched with the blue LEDs to achieve a target white light color temperature. The phosphor/window is then affixed to the LED.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2007Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Philips Lumileds Lighting Company, LLCInventors: Michael R.
