  • Publication number: 20260151646
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to a phototherapy system including a garment shell configured to be worn by an infant and including a first pocket disposed on an inner surface thereof. The phototherapy system may include a light panel configured to be removably disposed in a first pocket. The garment may be configured to position and/or orient the light panel such that a first portion of the light panel aligns with a back of the infant and a second portion of the light panel aligns with a chest of the patient. The light panel may include a plurality of light sources arranged in a grid formation and coupled to a circuit board. The light panel and/or the circuit board may be disposed in a protective shell. The protective shell may include a plurality of cut outs which can reduce an overall weight of the light panel and/or impact at least one a light path or irradiance of the plurality of light sources.

  • Publication number: 20080129253
    Abstract: An energy-reclamation apparatus of the present invention including at least a supercapacitor element connected with a charging source and a controlled circuit. After the supercapacitor element is charged to the potential of the charging source, the supercapacitor element and the charging source will work in series to conduct a repetitive polarity reversal of the supercapacitor element through a controlled circuit. As the supercapacitor element discharges, it is reversely charged concurrently. In other words, while the voltage of the supercapacitor element is decreasing on the side, a negative potential is complementarily developing on the other side. By repeatedly reversing the polarity of the supercapacitor element, more energy from the serially connected charging source can be reclaimed and reused.
