Publication number: 20210186761Abstract: The invention provides a moulded earplug set (300) which includes two earplugs (302, 304) each having a stem (332, 334) with a cord or lanyard (306) extending between the stems to connect the earplugs together. The cord may be integrally moulded with the earplugs and extend laterally from the stem of each. The sides of the cord may adjoin to form a generally planar cord body (72) and may be defined by sulcations in the cord body. The set may include an integrally moulded storage container (308) for the earplugs, comprising two cap formations (314, 316) separated by a hinge (322). An integrally moulded strap (310) may be provided to permit the cap formations to be locked in a closed condition abutting each other. The set may include frangible bridge formations (342) connecting the earplugs to the cord body. Each earplug may include a grip defining a plurality of indentations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2019Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventor: Nicolaas Hendrik Smit

Patent number: 8690395Abstract: The invention relates to a light emitting device (2) comprising a primary light source (10), a light converting medium (14) and an optical structure (16). The primary light source is disposed on a substrate (11). The light converting medium comprising phosphors (14) is arranged for converting at least a part of the primary light to secondary light (II) of a different wavelength. The light converting medium is in a remote phosphor configuration. The optical structure is arranged for receiving a part of the secondary light (II) from the light converting medium and is configured for redirecting the part of the secondary light in a direction towards the first plane but away for the primary light source (10). By providing an optical structure redirecting the secondary light away from the primary light source, absorption of the secondary light by the primary light source can be substantially reduced or eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2010Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Erno Fancsali, Willem Hendrik Smits, Pascal Jean Henri Bloemen

Publication number: 20060279408Abstract: A method and an identification system used for communicating between a reader and a plurality of transponders are disclosed. The reader has a transmitter for transmitting a signal and each transponder includes a receiver for receiving the reader signal and a transmitter for generating a transponder signal. When the reader recognises a transponder signal from one of the transponders it immediately issues a mute instruction, muting all other active transponders and passing control to the said transponder, without the need for a specifically timed acknowledgement to the said controlling transponder. The reader may issue a single disable/wakeup instruction which disables the controlling transponder returning control to the reader and reactivated all muted (but not disabled) transponders.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2006Publication date: December 14, 2006Inventors: Raymond Atkins, Mario Marais, Hendrik Smit
