Abstract: A light emitting apparatus includes a housing having a transparent bulb with phosphor, and at least one LED positioned within the housing to excite the phosphor and emit light through the transparent bulb.

Abstract: A light emitting apparatus includes a housing having a transparent portion, at least one LED positioned within the housing to emit light through the transparent portion, and a fan positioned within the housing to cool said at least one LED.

Abstract: A luminaire includes a light fixture having an opening, at least one LED positioned within the light fixture to emit light through the opening, and a fan configured to cool said at least one LED.

Abstract: One embodiment of the current invention seeks to increase heat dissipation in solid state lights used in track lighting systems, by utilizing a track with a fluid channel. Convective heat transfer within this fluid channel acts to dissipate more heat than can be typically dissipated by conventional solid state lights themselves, thus allowing for brighter, higher-powered lights. The track and fluid channel can take on various forms.

Abstract: An apparatus to make ventilated cigars is disclosed. The apparatus includes a perforating means along a first wrapper paper section and arranged before the first wrapper paper section and the second wrapper paper section are joined together. A roller member rotates the first wrapper paper section. In one embodiment, the roller member includes a set of pins that cooperate with the roller member to perforate the first wrapper paper section proximal to an outer edge surface of the first wrapper paper section.

Abstract: Embodiments of the current invention seek to increase heat dissipation by affixing a separate or integrated heat sink to the solid state light, thus accomplishing increased heat dissipation via a device different from the light, alleviating need for altering the solid state light itself. In this manner, embodiments of the invention increase the amount of heat dissipated from solid state lights without requiring any redesign of the solid state lights themselves.

Abstract: Embodiments of the current invention seek to increase heat dissipation by utilizing a track lighting system with a heat sink, thus accomplishing increased heat dissipation via a separate, easily-attached device, i.e. a heat sinking track, rather than altering the solid state light itself. Other embodiments seek to enhance transmission of heat from the solid-state light source to the heat sink track. In this manner, embodiments of the invention increase the amount of heat dissipated from solid state lights.

Abstract: Embodiments of the current invention seek to increase heat dissipation by affixing a separate or integrated heat sink to the solid state light, thus accomplishing increased heat dissipation via another device, instead of altering the solid state light itself. In this manner, embodiments of the invention increase the amount of heat dissipated from solid state lights without requiring any redesign of the solid state lights themselves.

Abstract: An apparatus for blast suppression involves forming a foam barrier in proximity to a bomb or other suspicious device. The foam is maintained in position by a containment structure which is inflated and kept in an inflated state by the foam used to form such barrier. Various containment structures are disclosed for suppression of compression waves and combustion effects caused by an explosive event.

Abstract: A tractor attachment for installing tubing beneath the ground includes a frame having a toolbar to which multiple plow assemblies are coupled and spaced apart by rigid spacers. Each plow assembly includes a plow blade and a drop feed tube, mile plow blades extend downwardly in a first direction from the toolbar and the drop feed tubes extend downwardly in a second direction from the toolbar. In operation, the multi-plow attachment is lowered such that the plow blades engage a body of soil at a desired depth. The desired depth at which the plow blades engage the soil is based at least in part on the pitch of the plow blades. The tractor moves forward to cause the plow blades to create trenches in the soil at substantially the desired depth and strands of conduit (e.g., drip irrigation tubing) are fed from the drop feed tubes to the created trenches.

Abstract: A fuel system for an internal combustion engine uses a fuel pump having an internally mounted pressure-responsive buffer which increases the volume available for fuel within the pump's discharge port upon shutdown of the pump, so as to assist in the mitigation of fugitive hydrocarbon emissions from fuel injectors which might otherwise result from a hot soak of an automotive engine.
