Patents by Inventor Lee Wainright

Lee Wainright 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).

  • Patent number: 8025432
    Abstract: This invention relates to a miniature, battery operated, air tight light emitting module having a LED/LEDS that projects at least two different frequencies of light energy. The LEDs are mounted in a protective air-tight shell. The LEDs are activated by a magnetic field of associated magnetic rings. The attachment mechanism to hold the module(s) to safety hard hats and helmets consists of an elastic band allowing a module or series of modules to be attached to the exterior surface of various types of helmets.

  • Publication number: 20090065715
    Abstract: A miniature, battery operated plastic module designed to project at least three different frequencies of energy from light emitting diodes is described. A first frequency is between 390 nm-420 nm just above harmful Ultraviolet Frequencies, a second frequency is between 850 nm-1200 nm in the infrared band and a third frequency is for a visible white light. The light emitting module has a base unit, the unit including a pulsed LED that emits an ultraviolet wavelength of light adapted to focus on a surface having phosphorescence means on the surface to activate the phosphorescence. The light emitting module may also have a base unit which includes a pulsed LED that emits an infrared wavelength of light adapted to penetrate a particular atmosphere. The module may also provide optional power for external items in addition to the three frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20090059615
    Abstract: A fiber optically enhanced reflective strip having a first material, a light pipe inside the first material having an end, and a LED positioned proximate the end of the light pipe to transmit visible or infrared light to the first material to illuminate the material is described. The LED transmits single or multiple colored light energies in separated or combined forms through the light pipes. The strip produces multiple spectrums of visible and/or infrared light output that can be recognized by special IR sensitive equipment. The strip includes an external removable battery source and current limiting resistor that run on quiescent technology allowing the strip to output light for at least two to three weeks on lightweight and tiny batteries that are operated via a manual or automatic switch. The strip includes attachment means that can be attached to the safety apparels. The strip is used for quick identification and allocation of an individual in low or no visibility environments.
