Patents by Inventor Siegfried Giebler

Siegfried Giebler has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6583401
    Abstract: A further miniaturization of known optoelectronic components with internal screening is not possible. In addition, inhomogeneities occur in the embedding material. Separate screening plates cause additional costs to arise during component assembly. The task is to design an optoelectronic component with a conductor strip element such that screening can be effected without any additional external screening measures. Optoelectronic component with a conductor strip element, with electronic and optoelectronic semiconductor components being arranged on a first conductor strip element area connected to ground and encapsulated by a housing made of thermo- or duroplastic synthetic material. A second conductor strip element area protrudes from the housing and is folded around the housing such that it screens the semiconductor components against electromagnetic interference radiation.

  • Patent number: 5506760
    Abstract: A light fitting unit having a low current input for illuminated signs. The light fitting unit comprises a housing (1) for mounting a plurality of LEDs (4). The housing has four lateral surfaces (1.1-1.4) and two opposite main surfaces (1.5, 1.6). Furthermore, a mounting cap (2) is provided on a first lateral surface (1.1) of the housing. The further lateral surfaces (1.2, 1.3, 1.4) of the housing are enclosed by a groove (3), in the bottom (3.1) of which a plurality of apertures (5) are provided in which a plurality of LEDs (4) are disposed. The light fitting unit can be used as a light source in any illuminated signs instead of conventional bulbs. It is characterized by a low current input and long service life. Fitting in already existing illuminated signs simply by insertion into existing holders is achieved by screw caps or bayonet caps.

  • Patent number: 5472915
    Abstract: The invention relates to an opto-electronic component having a narrow aperture angle. The conventional design of components transmitting radiation or reacting to radiation and concentrating that radiation with the aid of lenses results, on account of the increasing distance between the lens and the semiconductor chip, in increasing component dimensions in the radiating or detecting direction with an increasingly narrow aperture angle. In accordance with the invention, a parabolic or approximately parabolic reflector is provided that is connected to a support strip supporting the semiconductor chip such that the latter is as close as possible to the focal point of the parabolic or approximately parabolic surface of the reflector. The reflector is preferably connected to the support strip by engaging elements and surrounded by a housing.

  • Patent number: 5350943
    Abstract: A semiconductor assembly with a metal frame configuration is described, having a semiconductor component (HL) on a carrier section (T) of a ground strip section (M). The ground strip segment has an extension section (V) with which it is extended beyond said carrier section and is both folded over in relation to said carrier section and of sufficient length that it covers said semiconductor component in order to shield it electromagnetically.In this assembly, the ground strip section has a multiple function. It is used not only for carrying and contacting of electrical components, but also acts at the same time as electromagnetic shielding for a semiconductor component, for example for the radiation detector of a remote control reception module.
