Abstract: A lamp or lens assembly for a motor vehicle that includes electrically conductive traces for defogging or deicing the lens. Aspects include a light transmissive lens coupled to a lamp housing. The light transmissive lens may define a curved cross-section with a curvature extending across the length and/or the width of the lens. The lens may include one or more electrically conductive traces positioned on a surface of the lens, the electrically conductive traces optionally extending across and curving with the curvature of the light transmissive lens. One or more coatings may optionally cover the conductive traces and a portion of the lens surface leaving portions uncovered. The electrically conductive traces may extend outwardly away from the surface of the lens with height that is greater than their width.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to lenses for lamp assemblies, for example, for automotive lamps such as head lamps, or perhaps tail lamps, turn signals, brake lamps, cargo lamps, and the like. These lamps may use incandescent or High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps which generally create enough heat to reduce or eliminate fluid that may form on the lens such as in the case of condensation, rain, sleet, snow, ice, fog, and the like. Such a buildup of fluid may result in suboptimal light transmission and may degrade the performance of the lamp to a degree that renders it temporarily unusable, particularly in poor weather. This is especially concerning in the case of some types of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps where the lamp may not produce sufficient residual heat to effectively remove the fluid that may build up on the lens either in liquid or solid form, and especially in colder weather.

Abstract: An electric submersible pump having a housing with side walls and at least one stackable diffuser residing within the housing. The stackable diffuser can have a diffuser side wall forming an annular gap between the outer surface of the diffuser side wall and the inner surface of the housing side wall. A filler can be provided within the annular gap to prevent recirculation and/or rotation of the diffuser within the housing. Additionally or alternatively, an O-ring can be disposed within the annular gap to prevent recirculation and/or rotation of the diffuser within the housing.
