Abstract: A lighting assembly includes one or more spheroid lenses and a lighting insert configured to hold the spheroid lens or lenses and to cover a hole in a vehicle body panel. The lighting insert is further configured to form a water-tight seal with each of the vehicle body panel and the spheroid lens or lenses. The lighting insert defines a lens aperture configured to hold a corresponding spheroid lens. The lens aperture is substantially smaller than the hole in the vehicle body panel, and the lighting insert is further configured to form a water-tight seal with each of the vehicle body panel and the spheroid lens. The lighting insert may define a circle shape that is configured to cover a circle-shaped hole in the vehicle body panel. The lighting insert may define an oval shape that is configured to cover an oval-shaped hole in the vehicle body panel.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a bracket assembly for a light. The light is mountable on a vehicle with the bracket assembly. The bracket assembly comprises a main body comprising a post, and an adapter body comprising a post. The adapter body is engageable to the main body. The main body or the adapter body comprises an additional post.

Abstract: Pumped laser crystals for use in an imaging apparatus are designed and housed so as to minimize variation in dot size across the spectrum of duty cycles ranging generally from 1% to 100%--that is, from print densities ranging from every hundredth pixel to every consecutive pixel.

Abstract: A laser system for imaging graphic-arts constructions avoids the need to demagnify a divergent beam by using the output of a semiconductor or diode laser to optically pump a laser crystal, which itself emits laser radiation with substantially less beam divergence. A preferred implementation utilizes, as a pumping source, at least one laser device that emits in the IR, and preferably near-IR region, to image ablative or transfer-type printing members. The output of the pumping source is provided to the laser crystal via a focusing lens arrangement. The output of the laser crystal, in turn, is focused onto the surface of a recording medium to perform the imaging function.

Abstract: A focusing assembly includes features that allow numerical aperture to be reduced and optimized by reducing aberrations and ghost reflections and easily controlling stop size, thereby increasing depth-of-focus. The assembly includes a single, bi-aspheric focusing lens that optimizes image quality at a specific off-axis field point. Passage of excessively divergent radiation is prevented by a baffle having a sharp, flared edge that minimizes reflection. A second aperture or baffle can be included to restrict high-divergence radiation emerging from the bi-aspheric focusing lens. All interior surfaces of the focusing assembly are preferably blackened, once again to minimize internal reflections.
