  • Publication number: 20090103297
    Abstract: In an LED array comprising a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor chips each of which has a radiation outcoupling surface, the radiation emitted by the semiconductor chips being outcoupled substantially through said radiation outcoupling surface , and a cover body that is transparent to the emitted radiation, the transparent cover body comprises, on a surface facing toward the radiation outcoupling surfaces of the semiconductor chips, one or more conductive traces made of a conductive material that is transparent to the emitted radiation, and the semiconductor chips each comprise, on the radiation outcoupling surface, at least one electrical contact that is connected to the conductive trace or to at least one of the plurality of conductive traces. At least one luminescence conversion material is contained in the transparent cover body and/or applied in a layer to the cover body and/or the semiconductor chips.

  • Patent number: 7312927
    Abstract: A straw holder for supporting a drinking straw in the mouth of a bottle is presented. The holder includes a straw support portion dimensioned for placement across the mouth of a bottle. The straw support portion includes an aperture designed to receive a straw therethrough and to vertically support the straw with respect to the support portion. The holder further includes a bottle retaining portion that includes at least one turn extending around the retaining portion. The at least one turn includes a first turn having an end attached to the straw support portion.

  • Publication number: 20070010157
    Abstract: The light source has an LED, preferably produced for the surface-mounting technique, embedded in a transparent material filling. A converter substance is integrated in the filling for the at least partial wavelength conversion of the light emitted by the LED. A lens is glued onto the transparent material filling. The material filling has a convex surface and the lens has a concave underside entering into a form fit with the convex surface of the material filling.

  • Patent number: 7102213
    Abstract: A leadframe-based housing for a surface-mountable component, particularly a radiation-emitting component. The leadframe-based housing comprises electrical connector strips and at least one chip mounting area. One of the connector strips includes an injection aperture that enables a leadframe-based housing to be produced with a very small thickness in an injection molding process. A method for producing such housings is further specified.
