  • Vehicle lamp heat dissipation system
    Patent number: 11821599
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp heat dissipation system includes a heat pipe, a heat sink having a slot adapted to receive the heat pipe, and a light-emitting diode (LED) mounted directly to the heat pipe. The heat pipe is disposed in the slot such that heat is transferred from the LED to the heat sink via the heat pipe for effectively cooling the LED.

  • Clear obelisk projector shield
    Patent number: 11396991
    Abstract: A projector shield including a clear obelisk optic configured to modulate light exiting a vehicular headlamp. The clear obelisk optic comprises a base configured to sufficiently allow the passage of light therethrough, and a tip configured to refract light thereby preventing it from exiting the vehicular headlamp. The clear obelisk optic generates a light projection having a sufficiently dimmed area compared to surrounding areas.

  • Livestock insect-removal systems and related methods
    Patent number: 8544419
    Abstract: Livestock insect-removal systems and methods. According to one embodiment, the system may comprise a structure with a defined path for passage of livestock. The system may comprise a container removably attached to the structure and a vacuum device within the container configured to generate a change in pressure within the container. The system may comprise a first duct to expel air from the container and direct air across the path and displace or dislodge insects. The first duct may further comprise a vent to expel bypass air from the first duct. The system may comprise a second duct, positioned along the path to draw air and dislodged insects into the container.
