Patent number: 11984540Abstract: An inorganic coating may be applied to bond optically scattering particles or components. Optically scattering particles bonded via the inorganic coating may form a three dimensional film which can receive a light emission, convert, and emit the light emission with one or more changed properties. The inorganic coating may be deposited using a low-pressure deposition technique such as an atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. Two or more components, such as an LED and a ceramic phosphor layer may be bonded together by depositing an inorganic coating using the ALD technique.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Lumileds LLCInventors: Michael Camras, Jyoti Bhardwaj, Peter Josef Schmidt, Niels Jeroen Van Der Veen

Patent number: 11854384Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed in which one or more light sources, a detector, a processor and a controller are configured such that light from the one or more light sources improves the ability of a human or automated motor vehicle driver to identify and avoid pedestrians. The one or more light sources may provide spot illumination to moving objects or pedestrians on a road surface, with the spot illumination following the moving object or pedestrians along the portion of the road surface. The one or more light sources may project images on the ground or on other surfaces. The light source may be carried by a pedestrian or on personal transport used by a pedestrian. The light sources may be stationary and provide lighting for a pedestrian street crossing.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Lumileds LLCInventors: Michael Camras, Jyoti Kiron Bhardwaj

Publication number: 20230028468Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed in which one or more light sources, a detector, a processor and a controller are configured such that light from the one or more light sources can provide illumination or projections that can reduce accidents while the vehicle is in motion and when parked and may also provide information and illumination to the driver and vehicle occupants when entering or exiting the vehicle. These systems may, for example, provide spot illumination to moving objects or pedestrians on the road surface, with the spot illumination following the moving object. Alternatively or in addition these systems may project images on the ground, for example to communicate information to occupants of the vehicle, to occupants of another vehicle, or to pedestrians.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: LUMILEDS LLCInventors: Michael CAMRAS, Jyoti Kiron BHARDWAJ
