Publication number: 20140177219Abstract: An ingress protected light-emitting diode (LED) fixture for outdoor and/or indoor use. In one example, a housing includes an acutely angled flange, and a plurality of LEDs fixed to an inside of the acutely angled flange. The LEDs are fixed to the acutely angled flange via a thermal interface to dissipate heat from the LEDs to the housing. An optical reflector is arranged in the housing to reflect light emitted by the LEDs. The optical reflector being customizable and having a shape specific to an application of the LED fixture. The LED fixture maintains a thin profile, making the LED fixture less susceptible to becoming accidently or intentionally damaged when mounted on low ceilings.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2012Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: ECOLITE MANUFACTURING CO.Inventors: Timothy Lee Treto, Edward Nicholas Caferro, Mark Paul Jongewaard, Jerry Craig Wood

Patent number: 8187225Abstract: The fluid injection apparatus for use with a syringe includes an injector and a pressure jacket assembly associated with the injector. The injector includes a housing defining a central opening and a drive piston extendable through the central opening for imparting motive forces to a syringe plunger disposed within the syringe. The pressure jacket assembly includes a pressure jacket and at least one support arm associated with and extending outward from the housing. A syringe retaining member is attached to the at least one support arm. The syringe-retaining member defines a syringe receiving slot for receiving at least a portion of the syringe. A light source is located on the support arm and faces the pressure jacket for illuminating the syringe.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2009Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Medrad, Inc.Inventors: Richard G. Critchlow, Herbert M. Grubic, Mark Paul Jongewaard

Patent number: 6945675Abstract: A fascia wash luminaire has a housing, a lamp socket and a refractor lens. The lamp socket mounts within the housing and is designed to hold a lamp in place within the housing. The refractor lens is trough shaped and is also held by the housing positioned under the light generation region for focusing the light from the light generation region to the fascia more broadly beneath the luminaire and more narrowly to the sides of the luminaire. The lens is shaped such that the distance between the lens and light generation region is smaller directly under the light generation region than it is on either side of the light generation region. The luminaire may also have a reflector for boosting the light directed downward and diagonal to the luminaire.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2003Date of Patent: September 20, 2005Assignee: Genlyte Thomas Group LLCInventors: Mark Paul Jongewaard, Donald M. Perreira

Patent number: 6561670Abstract: A semi-recessed downlight wall wash canopy luminaire includes a plaster frame, a lamp socket, a lamp, a downlight reflector, a wall wash reflector, and a trim piece. The plaster frame mounts behind the canopy or ceiling sheeting for supporting the components of the luminaire in relation to an opening in the sheeting. The lamp socket holds the lamp above the opening. The downlight and wall wash reflectors are positioned in surrounding relation to the lamp. The wall wash reflector has a bottom portion which extends below the plaster frame and the sheeting for reflecting light toward a wall at high angles. A trim piece extends downward from the plaster frame and below the bottom portion of the wall wash reflector providing a finished appearance. The trim piece has a bottom opening and a side window, which may be covered by refractive lenses.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2002Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Genlyte Thomas Group LLCInventors: Mark Paul Jongewaard, Katsuhiro Unoki

Patent number: 6558023Abstract: A luminaire capable of providing up-lighting when suspended from above, or mounted from below, or wall lighting when mounted as a sconce, having a longitudinally extended tapered hollow shell body which is open in the direction of intended illumination, a lamp mounting assembly, a fixture mounting assembly, and a louver assembly which is positioned between a lamp mounted in the fixture and the surface to be illuminated. The louver assembly is an integral unit having a supporting member which carries longitudinally spaced light-transmissive louvers which project from the body opening toward the illuminated surface. Each louver is formed of a partial disk which may be arcuate (e.g. semi-circular or semi-elliptical) or polygonal, and may have a beveled peripheral surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2001Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Inventors: Stefano Casciani, Susan Hakkarainen, Mark Paul Jongewaard

Publication number: 20020089852Abstract: A luminaire capable of providing desirably uniform up-lighting when suspended from above, or mounted from below, or similarly uniform wall lighting when mounted as a sconce, having a longitudinally extended tapered hollow shell body which is open in the direction of intended illumination, a lamp mounting assembly, a fixture mounting assembly, and a louver assembly which is positioned between a lamp mounted in the fixture and the surface to be illuminated. The louver assembly is an integral unit having a supporting member which carries longitudinally spaced light-transmissive louvers which project from the body opening toward the illuminated surface. Each louver is formed of a partial disk which may be arcuate (e.g. semi-circular or semi-elliptical) or polygonal, and may have a beveled peripheral surface. The louver assembly is designed to produce the desired uniform illumination.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2001Publication date: July 11, 2002Inventors: Stefano Casciani, Susan Hakkarainen, Mark Paul Jongewaard
