  • Lighting system with thermal management system having point contact synthetic jets
    Patent number: 8602607
    Abstract: Lighting systems having unique configurations are provided. For instance, the lighting system may include a light source, a thermal management system and driver electronics, each contained within a housing structure. The light source is configured to provide illumination visible through an opening in the housing structure. The thermal management system includes a plurality of synthetic jets. The synthetic jets are arranged within the lighting system such that they are secured at contact points.
    Type: Grant

  • LIGHTING SYSTEM WITH THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20130241415
    Abstract: Lighting systems having unique configurations are provided. For instance, the lighting system may include a light source, a thermal management system and driver electronics, each contained within a housing structure. The light source is configured to provide illumination visible through an opening in the housing structure. The thermal management system is configured to provide an air flow, such as a unidirectional air flow, through the housing structure in order to cool the light source. The driver electronics are configured to provide power to each of the light source and the thermal management system.

  • Thermal management systems for solid state lighting and other electronic systems
    Patent number: 8506105
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided including at least one electronic component. The apparatus also includes an enclosure enclosing the at least one electronic component. The enclosure includes at least one wall defined by a membrane. The apparatus further includes a piezoelectric actuator that is fixed at a first end and rigidly attached to the membrane at a second end. Application of alternating current to the piezoelectric actuator generates a pulsating mechanical deformation of the membrane.
