  • Patent number: 9495892
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) airfield guidance sign is disclosed herein. The sign can include a waveguide having a first face and a first fastening mechanism disposed on a first outer perimeter of the waveguide adjacent to the first face. The sign can also include a front panel coupled to the first outer perimeter adjacent to the first face of the waveguide. The sign can further include at least one first LED array disposed adjacent to an edge of a plurality of edges of the waveguide, where the edge of the waveguide is substantially orthogonal to the first face of the waveguide. The sign can also include a pair of side frame supports that secures two opposing edges of the plurality of edges of the waveguide and the front panel. The sign can further include a power source that provides power to the at least one first LED array.

  • Patent number: 6669351
    Abstract: An in-pavement airport lighting fixture includes a housing, a feed-through assembly, and a threaded bolt that extends through the housing to secure the housing to a base unit. The feed-through assembly carries a lamp and positions the lamp in the housing. The threaded bolt is coupled to the housing such that the housing is lifted by upward motion of the bolt as the bolt is disengaged from the base unit. The housing further includes at least one boss and the feed-through assembly includes a connector surrounding an upper portion of the feed-through assembly. The connector mates with an outer surface of the boss when the upper portion of the feed-through assembly is positioned against an inside surface of the boss.
