  • Publication number: 20140091329
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves a lighting instrument. The lighting instrument includes a board or substrate, for example, a printed circuit board substrate. The lighting instrument includes a plurality of light-emitting diode (LED) dies disposed on the substrate. The LED dies are spaced apart from one another. Each LED die is covered with a respective individual phosphor coating that is coated around the LED die conformally. Due at least in part to the individual phosphor coatings, the LED dies and the lighting instrument may assume a substantially white appearance in an off state. The lighting instrument also includes an encapsulation structure disposed over the substrate. The encapsulation structure may be a diffuser cap that encapsulates the light-emitting dies within. A diffuser gel fills the space between the encapsulation structure and the LED dies.

  • Patent number: 8497519
    Abstract: An LED emitter uses a molded lens with phosphor material embedded in a circumferential trench to generate a batwing beam pattern. After the lens is molded over a package substrate with connected LED dies thereon, the phosphor material is molded, injected, or dispensed into a circumferential trench. The molded lens is shaped such that a majority of the light emitted by the one or more LED dies is reflected by the top surface to the side surfaces through the phosphor material.

  • Patent number: 8322668
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for a slide rail includes a post, a mounting bracket, a fixing plate, and two fasteners. The post longitudinally defines two positioning holes. The mounting bracket is capable of being connected to an end of the slide rail. An end plate is formed on an end of the mounting bracket, and two through holes are defined in the end plate. The fixing plate defines two fixing holes. The fasteners are respectively extended through the positioning holes of the post and the through holes of the end plate, and engaged in the fixing holes of the fixing plate, to allow the fixing plate to be locked to the post. The mounting bracket is transversely slidably coupled to the post and the fixing plate via the two fasteners.

  • Publication number: 20120292274
    Abstract: A demountable mounting apparatus for fixing a slide rail to a post includes a mounting bracket secured to the slide rail, a coupling member fixed to the mounting bracket, a latch member rotatably mounted to the mounting bracket, and a restoring member between the latch member and the mounting bracket. The coupling member includes an inserting pin extending into the through hole of the post, and defining a receiving slot. The latch member includes an arm to be received in the receiving slot of the inserting pin, and a hook protruding from the arms. The latch member is locked in a position by the hooks engaging the far surface of the post. A rotation of latch member makes the hooks disengage from the post, thereby allowing the release of the slide rail from the post. The restoring member biases the latch member to the locked position.

  • Publication number: 20120183242
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first slide member, and a second slide member. The first slide member defines an opening. The second slide member forms a cantilevered resilient arm extending forwards. An engaging portion is formed on a distal end of the resilient arm. When the second slide member is received in the first slide member, the engaging portion is pressed by the first slide member to deform the resilient arm away from the first slide member. When the second slide member is slid forwards to be out of the first slide member, the resilient arm is restored to allow the engaging portion to engage with a section of the first slide member bounding a front end of the opening, to prevent the second slide member from sliding out of the first slide member.

  • Publication number: 20120104435
    Abstract: Two or more molded ellipsoid lenses are formed on a packaged LED die by injecting a glue material into a mold over the LED die and curing the glue material. After curing, the refractive index of the lens in contact with the LED die is greater than the refractive index of the lens not directly contacting the LED die. At least one phosphor material is incorporated into the glue material for at least one of the lenses not directly contacting the LED die. The lens directly contacting the LED die may also include one or more phosphor material. A high refractive index coating may be applied between the LED die and the lens.
