Patent number: 9793452Abstract: A blue light leakage-suppressing LED structure for emitting white light includes at least one LED chip, an encapsulation element, a light output lens, and an optical fuse coating formed of a thermosensitive material; or includes at least one LED chip and an encapsulation element formed of a mixture of an encapsulation material and a thermosensitive material; or includes at least one blue LED chip, a fluorescent powder layer, an isolation region, an optical fuse layer, and a light output lens. Thanks to the hue changing property of the thermosensitive material, the LED structure can reduce the intensity of its short-wavelength light component and its overall brightness significantly before reaching the L70 threshold, after passing which the LED structure will emit excessive blue light. Thus, the user is protected from overexposure to blue light and will be reminded to replace the LED structure when the LED structure is about to malfunction.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: National Central UniversityInventors: Ching-Cherng Sun, Tsung-Hsun Yang, Te-Yuan Chung, Yu-Yu Chang, Shang-Fu Yang

Patent number: 9103872Abstract: A highly adaptive thermal properties measurement system and measuring method thereof, for measuring various thermal property values of a device under test without actually lighting up the device under test, are disclosed. The measurement system includes a light source unit, a light modulation module, a holding unit, a thermal reflection unit, a thermal signal capture unit, and a control and computation unit. A light field provided from the light source unit is first modulated by the light modulation module for its distribution of intensity, and then illuminates on the device under test such that the device under test is heated in a specific mode so as to simulate a temperature distribution of the device under test in a state of continuous operation. Further, the control and computation unit computes various thermal property values of the device under test based on a top-surface thermal signal and a bottom-surface thermal signal captured by the thermal signal capture unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: NATIONAL CENTRAL UNIVERSITYInventor: Te-Yuan Chung

Publication number: 20150060033Abstract: The present invention discloses a cooling system with a passive heat dissipation structure, the cooling system includes plural heat conducting pipes, and a shielding tube included to surround the heat conducting pipes. The heat generated from a heat source placed below the cooling system heats the surrounding fluid (air) and turns it into heated fluid. The heated fluid is lower in density and is dissipated away through convection by the heat conducting pipes, leaves its original space to cooler fluid (at room temperature). The mixing of the heated fluid with the cooler fluid can be prevented by the heat conducting pipes, and the heat convection of the heat source by the cooler fluid is increased. With the implementation of the present invention, the benefits of easy implementing, easy to use, requiring no extra energy and saving costs are achieved, and the heat of the heat source is promptly dissipated away.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2013Publication date: March 5, 2015Applicant: NATIONAL CENTRAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Te-Yuan CHUNG, Tso-Hung Chang

Publication number: 20150060017Abstract: A cooling apparatus using solid-liquid phase change material (solid-liquid PCM) is disclosed. The cooling apparatus includes a pipeline, a housing enclosing the pipeline, and the solid-liquid PCM filling in an interior of the pipeline and a space between the pipeline and the housing. The solid-liquid PCM can contact a heat source and absorb the heat generated by the heat source, so as to transform from solid state to liquid state. The solid-liquid PCM in the liquid state can circulate inside the pipeline and the space between the pipeline and the housing. Thus, the heat is dissipated by the means of thermal convection. Meanwhile, the heat also can be dissipated through the housing. Therefore, the heat dissipation can be achieved by thermal conduction and heat convection simultaneously.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2013Publication date: March 5, 2015Applicant: National Central UniversityInventors: Te-Yuan CHUNG, Hao-Hsuan HUANG

Publication number: 20110259421Abstract: A photovoltaic module with reduced size is provided. The photovoltaic module includes two wedged concentrator components and a solar cell structure. The first wedged concentrator component is positioned on the second wedged concentrator component. The solar cell structure is mounted on a quadrilateral lateral surface of the first wedged concentrator component for receiving light from the first wedged concentrator component through the quadrilateral lateral surface. The wedge structure of the concentrator components causes total internal reflection of the light on a top surface of the first wedged concentrator component when the light travels within the first wedged concentrator component from a bottom surface to the quadrilateral lateral surface. A diffractive optics element is provided in the second wedged concentrator component to contribute the total internal reflection in the first wedged concentrator component.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2011Publication date: October 27, 2011Applicant: NATIONAL CENTRAL UNIVERSITYInventor: Te-Yuan Chung

Patent number: 7672346Abstract: Apparatus, methods, systems and devices for temperature independent or minimally temperature dependent narrow spectrum laser having an optimized output. The resonator includes at least one volume Bragg grating mirror that changes reflectance with temperature. The volume Bragg grating mirror in combination with a narrow spectrum laser optimizes the laser performance by being temperature tuned to the optimum reflectance. In an embodiment, the volume Bragg grating mirror has a temperature dependent reflectance that compensates for changes in the stimulated emission cross section of the gain medium and leads to a laser with output energy that is independent of temperature.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2006Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Michael Bass, Te-Yuan Chung

Publication number: 20080176354Abstract: An electric device has a p-n diode, where the p-n diode is covered with a current modified layer (CML). With a resistance distribution of the CML, a current is decreased toward all directions from a point on a bonding pad between the CML and the p-n diode. Hence, a current is uniformly distributed on the CML by fine tuning the resistance distribution. Thus, an effectiveness of the electric device is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2007Publication date: July 24, 2008Applicant: National Central UniversityInventors: Cheng-yi Liu, Te-Yuan Chung, Pen-ko Chou, Ching-Liang Lin
