Abstract: A LED grid device comprising a LED grid and a plate-shaped member at which the LED grid has been arranged. The LED grid has several electrically conducting wires arranged side by side, and several LED modules, each LED module having a LED package, wherein each LED package is coupled to at least two wires of the electrically conducting wires. Each LED module further has a thermally conducting element positioned between two adjacent wires of the wires that the LED package is coupled to. The thermally conducting element carries the LED package, and protrudes from the LED package, and the thermally conducting element is attached to the plate-shaped member.

Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing a light emitting diode, LED, matrix (100) comprising the steps of providing with a maintained integrity a conductor sheet (150) with a plurality of component areas (111) interconnected with meandering connection tracks (116), mounting a plurality of LEDs (120) to a respective component area thereby forming a subassembly (100?), trimming and stretching the subassembly thereby straightening the connection tracks such that an m×n LED conductor matrix is formed during the step of stretching.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a grid-shaped lighting module (13; 23) comprising: a plurality of electrically conducting wires (15a-b) defining a grid with nodes (16a-c); and a plurality of solid-state light-sources (17a-c) each being arranged at a respective one of the nodes and connected to two electrically conducting wires of the plurality of electrically conducting wires. The electrically conducting wires (15a-b) are pleated such that the grid-shaped lighting module (13; 23) exhibits a 3D-topography. Various embodiments of the present invention provide improved mechanical stability and allows for thin illumination panels based on the grid-shaped lighting module.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing acrolein from glycerol or glycerin, according to which dehydration of glycerol or glycerin is carried out in the presence of a catalyst which consists in at least one silica modified with zirconium dioxide, titanium dioxide or tungsten trioxide or any combination of these oxides, and a heteropolyacid. This method may be used for making 3-(methylthio)propionic aldehyde (MMP), 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyronitrile (HMBTN), methionine or its analogs, from acrolein.

Abstract: A continuous process for obtaining acrolein by catalytic dehydration of glycerol or glycerin, in the presence of an acid catalyst, wherein said process comprises the concomitant regeneration of said catalyst and is carried out in a fluidized bed reactor, said reactor comprising two zones, a first zone, or lower zone, termed catalyst regeneration zone, in which a fluidization gas comprising oxygen is introduced, and a second zone, or upper zone, termed reaction zone, in which the glycerol or glycerin is introduced and converted into acrolein.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of fibre-reinforced intermediates useful in thermoplastic processing methods, including compounding and moulding, which comprises impregnating continuous fibres with a resin composition comprising at least one radiation-polymerizable component, exposing the impregnated fibres to radiation to effect polymerization of such component, and cutting the product to form thermoplastically processible intermediates which, optionally, may be mixed with other polymer and/or additives during mixing or moulding. A process described as above but in which the uncut radiation polymerized fibre-resin product is blended with a least one polymer and/or additive in a continuous mixer, such as an extruder; and the resulting blended product is cut to form thermoplastically processible intermediates, such as mouldable pellets.
