  • Patent number: 10823388
    Abstract: Provided is a lighting subassembly that includes a printed circuit board having one or more lighting elements thereon and a single through-hole at a center region thereof for air flow, a lens to cover the one or more lighting elements, and an overmold body covering the lighting assembly. The overmold body secures the lens in place and covers a back surface of the printed circuit board opposite the one or more lighting elements and includes a plurality of through-holes corresponding to the through-hole of the printed circuit board. A vent is also included in the lighting subassembly and is disposed adjacent to the through-hole of the printed circuit board in between the overmold body and the printed circuit board, configured to only allow air to flow therethrough such that the through-holes and the vent together create a venting system to allow airflow through the lighting subassembly.

  • Publication number: 20160084483
    Abstract: An electrically isolated light-emitting display (LED) module efficiently transfers heat away from electronic components by thermally conducting the heat to the outside walls of an enclosure. An embodiment includes a plastic enclosure having thin plastic walls that define an opening, a plastic cover having a lens and configured to cover the opening, a power supply unit (PSU), a light-emitting diode (LED) operably connected to the PSU, and a thermally conducting potting material. The potting material is deposited into an interior volume of the plastic enclosure to cover the PSU, contact a back portion of the LED, and to thermally connect the PSU and the LED to the thin plastic walls of the plastic enclosure without covering a front portion of the LED.

  • Patent number: 9174503
    Abstract: An environment-activated automatic shut-off switch is disclosed. The disclosed embodiments allow power to be removed from a trailer auxiliary power circuit when the environment-activated automatic shut-off switch senses that the trailer is being put into motion. The disclosed embodiments of the environment-activated automatic shut-off switch do not require external control signals, such as those received from a vehicle tractor, in order to effectively control the trailer auxiliary power circuit and to ensure that the trailer ABS circuit has dedicated power while the trailer is in motion.
