Patent number: 9797556Abstract: The invention provides a lighting device having a photo-excited phosphor layer, with two monochromatic light beams (1, 1a, 1b) that counter propagate within the phosphor layer (2) thereby providing a destructive interference of the excitation light outside the phosphor layer (2). The excitation light source has an output wavelength greater than a peak absorption wavelength of the phosphor. This enables more efficient conversion of light and reduced heating.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Giuseppe Pirruccio, Jaime Gomez Rivas

Publication number: 20170209491Abstract: Process for obtaining fluoride-doped citrate-coated amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles. This material has applications in biomedicine due to its biodegradability and bioactivity; it also promotes cell adhesion and osteogeneration. In dentistry, it may be used in toothpastes, mouthwashes, chewing gums, gels and fluoride varnishes as a remineralising agent of dentine and enamel. It is based on two solutions formed by calcium chloride and sodium citrate on the one hand, and by sodium monohydrogenophosphate and sodium carbonate with a fluoride compound on the other, which are mixed at room temperature. The process is eco-efficient and eco-friendly, as it does not leave any acid residue; it consists of a single stage and it is the first time that an amorphous calcium phosphate coated with citrate and doped with fluoride, which enhances its remineralising action, is obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2015Publication date: July 27, 2017Applicants: Consejo Superior De Investigaciones Científicas (C SIC), Consiglio Nazionale Delle RicercheInventors: Jose Manuel Delgado Lopez, Jaime Gomez Morales, Raquel Fernandez Penas, Michele Iafisco, Anna Tampieri, Silvia Panseri
