Patent number: 9897302Abstract: An LED-based lamp assembly for use with a light fixture having a socket portion including a driver assembly having a base portion rotateably engageable with the socket portion to make a first electrical contact with the light fixture. The base portion is coupled to a driver housing. The driver assembly includes an electrically conductive tip portion coupled to the base portion. The tip portion is engageable with the socket portion to make a second electrical contact with the light fixture wherein the tip portion and driver housing are moveable relative to each other when the tip portion is in the second electrical contact with the socket portion. The driver assembly includes first electrical contacts. A lamp housing assembly is operably connected to the driver assembly. The lamp housing assembly includes second electrical contacts operatively connected to the first electrical contacts of the driver assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2014Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Differential Energy Products, LLCInventors: Richard A.

Patent number: 8882297Abstract: An LED-based lamp assembly with a driver assembly having a base portion rotatably engageable with the socket of a light fixture to make a first electrical contact with the light fixture. The driver assembly makes electrical contact with the light fixture. A lamp housing assembly operably connected to the driver assembly has a lamp housing connected to the driver assembly. The lamp housing is coupled to an integrated circuitry arrangement with at least one LED light thereon. The integrated circuitry arrangement is connected to, or is an integral part of, a heat sink that carries heat away from the substrate and/or LED light. The heat sink and the integrated circuitry arrangement have apertures hat allows heated air from the heat sink to pass therethrough and away from the LED light.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Differential Energy Products, LLCInventors: Richard A.

Patent number: 8845132Abstract: An LED-based lamp assembly with a driver assembly having a base portion rotateably engageable with the socket of a light fixture to make a first electrical contact with the light fixture. The driver assembly has an electrically conductive, retractable tip portion coupled to the base portion and that makes a second electrical contact with the light fixture. The tip portion retracts relative to the base when in electrical contact with the light fixture's socket portion. A lamp housing assembly operably connected to the driver assembly has a lamp housing connected to the driver assembly. The lamp housing is coupled to at least one substrate having at least one LED light thereon. The substrate is connected to, or is an integral part of, a heat sink that carries heat away from the substrate and/or LED light. The lamp housing assembly is rotatable relative to the light fixture to adjust the angular position of the light source.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Differential Energy Products, LLCInventors: Richard A. Flaherty, Christopher A. Burton, Phil Ahrens

Publication number: 20120148403Abstract: A vertically-oriented, counter-rotating wind turbine assembly is disclosed. The assembly can include two or more wind turbines, and each adjacent pair of wind turbines is configured to rotate oppositely. The wind turbines are separated by supporting plates, and include a rotor and a stator, respectively. The relative rotation of the rotor and stator generates electricity. The wind turbines are supported above and below by levitation and compression bearings, respectively. A motor can initiate rotation of the wind turbines when the ambient wind is below a break-in speed and above a steady state speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2011Publication date: June 14, 2012Applicant: Leader International CorporationInventors: Richard A. Flaherty, Christopher A. Burton

Patent number: 7628505Abstract: A lighted assembly includes a support having a wall and a light assembly with a light source and a body, which includes a light emitting surface. The light source is coupled to the body and is adapted for coupling to a power source for powering the light source. When powered light from the light source is directed into the body and is directed from the body through the light emitting surface. The support includes a corresponding recess formed in the wall, with the light assembly being mounted in the recess and facing outwardly from the support to thereby direct light outwardly from the support.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2006Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Leader Manufacturing, Inc.Inventor: Richard A Flaherty

Patent number: 7473016Abstract: A lighted post includes a stanchion and a light assembly. The light assembly includes a body, with a light emitting surface, and a light source that is coupled to the body. The light assembly is adapted for coupling to a power source for powering the light source. When powered light from the light source is directed into the body and is directed from the body through the light emitting surface. The light assembly is mounted to the stanchion, with the body being located in a light transmitting opening provided in the stanchion, such that the light emitting surface faces outwardly from the stanchion to thereby direct light outwardly from the stanchion.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Leader Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Richard A. Flaherty, Matthew A. Gray, Michael P. Coffey
