Publication number: 20230310880Abstract: Modulated light therapy devices for treatment of dermatological disorders of the scalp are provided. An exemplary device includes a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) supporting at least one light emitting device having an emitter height. The FPCB includes multiple interconnected panels and bending regions defined in and between at least some of the interconnected panels as to allow the FPCB to be configured in a concave shape to cover at least a portion of a cranial vertex of the patient. At least one light-transmissive layer proximate to the FPCB is configured to transmit (e.g., incoherent) light emissions generated by at least one light emitting device. At least one standoff is configured to be arranged between the FPCB and the scalp of the patient, wherein the at least one standoff includes a standoff height that exceeds the emitter height.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Nicholas William Medendorp, JR., Gerald H. Negley, Matthew C. Reynolds, James Michael Lay

Patent number: 10129960Abstract: An antenna arrangement for a solid-state lamp is disclosed. Embodiments of the invention provide for improved performance by positioning the antenna for radio frequency (RF) control of the lamp non-parallel to the main driver board and/or the LED board. This positioning can provide distance from the main board circuitry and a ground plane for the antenna. An RF daughter card can be used for the antenna and also possibly for other RF components. In some embodiments, the antenna is substantially perpendicular to the main board. In some embodiments, the lamp is dimensioned as a replacement for a standard incandescent bulb, such as an A, BR, or PAR bulb. In some embodiments, an optically transmissive enclosure and/or a base define the interior cavity of the lamp. A plurality of LEDs can be disposed within the optically transmissive enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Paul Earl, Matthew C. Reynolds

Patent number: 9839083Abstract: A dimmable solid state lighting apparatus can include a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) segments including a first LED segment that can have a targeted spectral power distribution for light emitted from the apparatus that is different than spectral power distributions for other LED segments included in the plurality of LED segments. An LED segment selection circuit can be configured to selectively control current through the plurality of LED segments to shift the light emitted by the apparatus to the targeted spectral power distribution responsive to dimming input.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Antony P. van de Ven, Matthew C. Reynolds

Publication number: 20170279798Abstract: To authorize a client device to access a secure resource hosted on a web server, the present methods and systems may provide executable instructions including a challenge token to the client device, which, in turn, may cause the client device to provide executable instructions, including the challenge token, to a mobile client device via a persona area network. The executable instructions provided to the mobile client device may request the mobile client device to return a verification token. The mobile client device may compare the provided challenge token to a challenge token stored locally. If the challenge tokens match, the mobile client device may provide a verification token to the client device via the personal area network, which may in turn provide the verification token to the web server. The web server may compare the verification token provided by the client device to a verification token provided by the present methods and systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2017Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventor: Matthew C.

Patent number: 9562677Abstract: A lamp comprises an interior space and a base. An enclosure may be connected to the base to enclose the interior space. At least one LED board divides the interior space into a plurality of sectors. An LED is located in each sector in the enclosure operable to emit light when energized through an electrical path from the base. Light from the LED is reflected by a wall of the sector to create a reflected light source.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Gerald H. Negley, Matthew C. Reynolds, Curt Progl

Patent number: 9462651Abstract: A three-way solid-state light bulb is disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention provide power supply circuitry that allows a solid-state lamp or light bulb to work in a manner similar to that of a common three-way incandescent light bulb. The power supply can selectively receive the input voltage, usually AC line voltage, on first and second input terminals. In some embodiments, a control circuit is operable to influence a feedback loop by diverting current and/or in some cases alter a current sense resistance in accordance with the selective presence of the voltage at the first and second inputs. The light output of the solid-state emitter or solid-state emitters in the bulb is set in accordance with a selective presence of the input voltage.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Matthew C. Reynolds, Michael McIntyre

Patent number: 5963867Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing network planning information in an interactive manner is described. A user selects a planning tool and inputs a selection point. If a line of sight cursor tool has been selected, a set of points on a display are set indicating a line of sight exists from those points to the selected point. If a path loss cursor tool has been selected a set of points on a display are set indicating a path loss to the selection point less than a certain threshold. Alternatively, a set of point on the display are set to various colors or shades indicating a range of path loss amounts to the selected point. In the preferred embodiment the invention incorporates the use of a computer system.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1995Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: Qualcomm Inc.Inventors: Matthew C.
