  • Patent number: 10499487
    Abstract: An LED light fixture is provided that is usable as a new LED lighting installation or as a retrofit assembly for converting a florescent light fixture into an LED light system. A PCB of the LED light fixture has an M-by-N array of LED modules mounted thereon, where M and N are positive integers that are greater than or equal to 2. The PCB has a heat dissipation system thermally coupled to one of the terminals of each LED module such that heat generated by the LED modules flows directly into the heat dissipation system, which maintains the operating case temperatures of the LED modules at or around ambient temperature, thereby increasing the life expectancies of the LED modules. The M-by-N array of LED modules provides very uniform light distribution without having to overdrive the LED modules, which also increases the life expectancies of the LED modules and conserves power.

  • Publication number: 20090005950
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for precisely, quickly and substantially uniformly controlling a combustion system by a transfer of heat to a fluidic fuel along a heat/fuel interface having a large surface area substantially immediately prior to the mixing of the fuel with air is provided. The control of the temperature of the fuel input to an air/fuel mixing region of the combustion system provides improved efficiency by an expansion of modulation ranges available for factors that together are determinative of the efficiency of combustion system operation such as fuel flow rate, fuel droplet size, air flow and input fuel pressure. In addition, the fuel/heat interface can be utilized as an in-line fuel flow meter for remote monitoring of the fuel flow rates and the prediction of problems in system functionality and future system failure time frames.

  • Patent number: 6298834
    Abstract: A fuel vaporizing attachment for vaporizing fuels used to power a liquid fueled internal combustion engine. Conventional liquid fueled, internal combustion engines typically include at least one fuel line, at least one fuel metering device, at least one air intake, at least one cylinder and at least one heat source, such as an exhaust manifold, a radiator or a battery. The fuel vaporizing attachment is disposed on the fuel line proximate the metering device. The fuel vaporizing attachment includes at least one fuel conduit disposed between the fuel metering device and the air intake for enabling the flow of fuel therebetween, and at least one medium for transferring heat from at least one heat source to the fuel conduit such that the fuel conduit is heated and fuel passing through the fuel conduit is vaporized prior to entering the at least one air intake of the engine.
