T. Lyle Brady 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).

  • Lamp assemblies with compensating rings between lamp bodies and output windows with different rates of thermal expansion
    Publication number: 20020185976
    Abstract: A ring mounted by sealant between a lamp body and an output window has a coefficient of thermal expansion intermediate to those of the lamp body and output window, thus to compensate for differing rates of thermal expansion and contraction of the lamp body and output window. A ring may be of solid metallic material, and may be solid or adapted to flex between the body and window.

  • Instant-on vapor lamp and operation thereof
    Patent number: 5834908
    Abstract: Operation of a vapor lamp light source for instrumentation utilizes a lamp manager controller for instant-on and precise temperature control to enhance and control output at specified wavelengths by monitoring and discriminating the spectral output of the lamp, and adjusting lamp current and temperature to maintain specific wavelength and light flux. Specific wavelengths can be selected and the wavelength automatically monitored for output level by control of a cold spot by an electrothermal device and a monitor. Lamp temperature, current and flux level at a selected wavelength are controlled.
