  • HIGH DENSITY PIXELATED LED AND DEVICES AND METHODS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20190273070
    Abstract: At least one array of LEDs (e.g., in a flip chip configuration) is supported by a substrate having a light extraction surface overlaid with at least one lumiphoric material. Light segregation elements registered with gaps between LEDs are configured to reduce interaction between emissions of different LEDs and/or lumiphoric material regions to reduce scattering and/or optical crosstalk, thereby preserving pixel-like resolution of the resulting emissions. Light segregation elements may be formed by mechanical sawing or etching to define grooves or recesses in a substrate, and filling the grooves or recesses with light-reflective or light-absorptive material. Light segregation elements external to a substrate may be defined by photolithographic patterning and etching of a sacrificial material, and/or by 3D printing.

  • SOLID STATE LIGHTING DEVICES WITH OPPOSING EMISSION DIRECTIONS
    Publication number: 20190252460
    Abstract: Solid-state lighting devices, for example, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which include a primary light-extraction face and a secondary light-extraction face that generally opposes the primary light-extraction face are disclosed. In some embodiments, mirrors internal to the LED may be omitted, and omnidirectional light from the active region is allowed to freely exit the primary light-extraction face and the secondary light-extraction face. In other embodiments, the first light-extraction face and second light-extraction face include opposing sidewalls of an LED. In such embodiments, mirrors internal to the LED may be utilized to direct omnidirectional light from the active region toward the first light-extraction face and the second light-extraction face.

  • ACCELEROMETER-BASED EXTERNAL SOUND MONITORING FOR POSITION AWARE AUTONOMOUS PARKING
    Publication number: 20190243380
    Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for accelerometer-based external sound monitoring for position aware autonomous parking. An example vehicle includes accelerometers mounted on windows of the vehicle, a computing platform communicatively coupled to the accelerometers, and an autonomy unit. The computing platform receives, via the accelerometers, signals indicative of a stop command associated with a voice. Additionally, the computing platform validates the stop command when the voice either is authorized or originates from within an emergency zone. The autonomy unit prevents autonomous motion of the vehicle in response to receiving the validated stop command.
