    Abstract: A light emitting diode structure includes a metal reflective layer, a first transparent electrically-conductive layer, a dielectric layer, second transparent electrically-conductive layers, a first type semiconductor layer, an active layer and a second type semiconductor layer. The metal reflective layer has first concave sections. The first transparent electrically-conductive layer is conformally formed over the first concave sections of the metal reflective layer. The dielectric layer is formed over the first transparent electrically-conductive layer and has through holes to expose the first transparent electrically-conductive layer. The second transparent electrically-conductive layers are formed over the dielectric layer, and connected with the first transparent electrically-conductive layer via the through holes. Each second transparent electrically-conductive layer is connected to the first transparent electrically-conductive layer to form a T-shaped cross section in each first concave section.

  • Patent number: 10297733
    Abstract: A high-voltage light emitting diode and fabrication method thereof, in which, the liquid insulating material layer/the liquid conducting material layer, after curing, is used for insulating/connecting, making the isolated groove between the light emitting units extremely narrow (opening width ?0.4 ?m, such as ?0.3 ?m), which improves single chip output, expands effective light emitting region area and improves light emitting efficiency; the serial/parallel connection yield is improved for this method avoids easy disconnection of wires across a groove with extremely large height difference in conventional high-voltage light emitting diodes; in addition, the manufacturing cost is reduced for the LED can be directly fabricated at the chip fabrication end.

  • Publication number: 20170336064
    Abstract: An accessory holder for securing an accessory (such as a light strip) on a structure comprises a rail and a cap. The rail comprises a planar portion and two surfaces extending from the planar portion. The cap comprises an attachment portion and a cover. The accessory is held within a compartment defined by the planar portion, the two surfaces, and the cover. The attachment portion attaches the cap to the rail by engaging with ridges located on the interior faces of the surfaces.

  • Patent number: 9783990
    Abstract: A handrail assembly comprises an elongated railing and a plurality of brackets. The railing has two lateral channels extending along its length and a central member extending between the two lateral channels. At least one of the brackets has a base and two prongs extending away from the base. Each of the prongs engages one of the lateral channels. The engagement of the railing with the brackets forms a cavity that is defined, at least in part, by the central member, the base, and the prongs.

  • Patent number: 9416550
    Abstract: A work bench support bracket with first and second opposed, generally upright sockets for receiving wood members is joined to first and second telescopically interconnectible, generally horizontal sockets, respectively. First and second clamping sets are also joined to the first and second generally upright sockets, respectively. Each of the clamping sets comprises an upper releasable chimp and a fixed lower brace member. The upper releasable clamp comprises a grip pivotably attached to the upright socket, a connector extending from the grip, and a handle pivotably connected to the connector. The work bench support bracket provides for the secure attachment of the wood members and reduces the likelihood of an accidental release of the wood members.

  • Patent number: 9121222
    Abstract: A gate bracket is formed of a planar web in which two rectangular portions along two edges of the web are bent to define a first pair of perpendicular flanges, and two other rectangular portions are bent from an inner portion of the web to form a second pair of perpendicular flanges. The flanges of the first pair are spaced from the flanges of the second pair by a distance corresponding to the dimensions of the structural members used to construct the gate. The invention provides a rigid bracket of simpler and lighter construction than prior art brackets.
