Patents by Inventor Joel Widom

Joel Widom has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20090016052
    Abstract: An apparatus includes: a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) of similar or differing wavelengths; a reflector for collecting energy from two or more LEDs into an approximately composite beam; and a housing for distributing this energy into a common aperture. A heat sink and electronic control for the individual LEDs is included. The LEDs have different color outputs and are selectively controlled to determine the color of light from the apparatus. In one embodiment there are at least two LEDs, at least two reflector cavities, a common combining cavity or zone, a mounting each of the LEDs within the reflector cavities and a housing. The LEDs are mounted on the heat sink and selectively driven to modulate the intensity of selected ones of the LEDs according the nature of the frequency bands in the driving signal, e.g. mixed color outputs according to the control of a musical signal.

  • Publication number: 20060061989
    Abstract: An apparatus is comprised of a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) of similar or differing wavelengths; means for efficiently collecting energy radiating from two or more LEDs into an approximate unitized beam; and means for distributing this energy into a common aperture. A means provides thermal management of the apparatus and electronically controls the individual LEDs. The LEDs have different color outputs and means for selectively controlling the color of light from the apparatus. In one embodiment there are at least two LEDs, at least two reflector cavities, a common combining cavity or zone, a means for mounting each of the LEDs within the reflector cavities and a housing, and the LEDs are mounted on a heat conductive material that provides the thermal management for the LEDs. The LEDs are further selectively driven by an input signal to modulate the intensity of selected ones of the LEDs according the nature of the frequency bands in the driving signal, e.g.
