Patent number: 9841175Abstract: An optical element for transmission of light produced by a solid state emitter includes at least one diffuser element, and a reflector supported by the at least one diffuser element and paced-apart from the emitter, the reflector defining an annular lip having an aperture therein and an axis normal to a plane defined by the aperture. The reflector further includes a first frustoconical surface coupled with the annular lip and angling outwardly in a first direction at a first angle relative to the axis, a second frustoconical surface coupled to the first frustoconical surface and angled outwardly at a second angle in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a third surface coupled with the second frustoconical surface and angling outwardly at a third angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2013Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: GE LIGHTING SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Glenn Howard Kuenzler, Jeremias Anthony Martins, Jeyachandrabose Chinniah, Dengke Cai, Mark J. Mayer, Benjamin Lee Yoder

Patent number: 9587820Abstract: An active cooling device in the form of a torsional, oscillating synthetic jet is provided. Fins are oscillated in a manner that creates a flow of air that can be used to cool an electronic device such as a lamp. Embodiments of the active cooling device can be compact and readily incorporated within heat sinks of different sizes and configurations. The flow of air can be provided as jets of air distributed over multiple directions as may be desirable with certain electronics such as an omnidirectional lamp.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2012Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: GE LIGHTING SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Karl Kristian Udris, Glenn Howard Kuenzler, Jeremias Anthony Martins

Patent number: 9500355Abstract: A lamp is provided with multiple light emitting elements such as e.g., LEDs, positioned about a heat sink. The heat sink contains an active cooling device that provides a flow of air over the heat sink to transfer heat away from the light emitting elements. One or more optical elements are positioned over the light emitting elements to e.g., assist in light distribution. The lamp construction improves the dissipation of heat while also providing for a more omni-directional distribution of light intensity. Embodiments of the lamp can be provided with one or more features to enhance aesthetic appeal and improve manufacturability.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2012Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: GE LIGHTING SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Glenn Howard Kuenzler, Jeremias Anthony Martins

Patent number: 9416952Abstract: Embodiments of a lighting apparatus with a light source using one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) to generate light. In one embodiment, the lighting apparatus comprises a light diffusing assembly that generates an optical intensity profile consistent with incandescent lamps. The light diffusing assembly comprises an envelope and a reflector element having frusto-conical member and an aperture element disposed therein. The lighting apparatus can also comprise a heat dissipating assembly with a plurality of heat dissipating elements disposed radially about the envelope. In one example, the heat dissipating elements are spaced apart from the envelope to promote convective heat dissipation.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: GE LIGHTING SOLUTIONS LLCInventors: Jeyachandrabose Chinniah, Ashfaqul Islam Chowdhury, Gary Robert Allen, Jeremias Anthony Martins, Anthony Rotella

Patent number: 9065026Abstract: Embodiments of a lens element have a body that incorporates geometry that defines features for surfaces that receive and transmit light, e.g., from a light emitting diode (LED) device. These features include, for example, curves, bends, arcs, and like curvilinear objects and/or shapes. These embodiments employs these features to change the direction of light that transits the body. These changes can reflect, refract, and/or re-direct light, thus rendering light that emits from the lens element with one or more light distributing characteristics. In one embodiment, the body comprises a cavity with an inner surface that has a first section and a second section that curve, respectively, with positive concavity and with negative concavity relative to the LED device.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2013Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: GE LIGHTING SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Jeyachandrabose Chinniah, Glenn Howard Kuenzler, Jeremias Anthony Martins, Benjamin Lee Yoder
