Publication number: 20120134114Abstract: Heat generated by operating electronic components within an environmentally-sealed enclosure is removed, without direct transmission of a viscous medium through the enclosure. An internal heat sink and external heat sink each span a given wall. The internal heat sink section is baffled and channeled with one place for air to enter, and one to exit. A fan forces air over heat sink extremities of the internal heat sink section. A circulating air column entrapped within the enclosure is drawn into the entrance of the internal heat sink, and forced through the entire length of the internal heat sink, providing for a thermal conduit for a heated entrapped air column to transfer its heat into the internal heat sink. The external heat sink is exposed to the ambient environment, with airflow managed over the external heat sink preferably with a structural surround that provides for channeling of airflow.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2011Publication date: May 31, 2012Inventors: Nick Kamenszky, Art Ackerman, Jeff West, Chris Grassmuck, Michael J.

Light from the light-emitting element intersects with the surface of the upper sheet so that the light projects onto the surface of the upper sheet. The swing mechanism is disposed beneath the flame sheet and can apply a force on the flame sheet to actuate the flame sheet to sway or swing. By the present application, a visual experience of true fire can be achieved and an interestedness and appreciation can be improved. A method for manufacturing the same is disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2011Publication date: May 31, 2012Inventor: Xiaofeng Li

Publication number: 20120134159Abstract: An illumination optical system includes a prism disposed on an incident optical axis and a lens that is disposed between the light source and an incident surface of the prism or between an emitting surface of the prism and an illuminated object, at least one of the reflection surfaces being a transmission/reflection surface. Additionally, an illumination optical system includes a prism having a surface that is disposed so as to obliquely intersect with an incident optical system, that transmits a part of the entering light to be emitted therefrom, and that deflects at least part of the rest of the light in a direction that intersects with the incident optical axis to be emitted therefrom. Furthermore, an illumination optical system has a rod lens that is disposed so that a longitudinal direction thereof is inclined with respect to an incident optical axis is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2011Publication date: May 31, 2012Inventors: Yuji Kamo, Hideyasu Takato, Tsutomu Sasamoto

Publication number: 20120134161Abstract: According to one embodiment, an lighting apparatus includes a base member, a light source configured to emit visible light, and a translucent cover including a translucent region which covers at least a front surface of the light source and emits the light emitted from the light source to the outside. The light source is provided on a front surface flat section of the base member, a luminous intensity of the light emitted from the light source has a directionality which is strong in a normal direction of the front surface flat section and becomes zero on a rear surface side. The translucent cover includes a domed shape having a maximum diameter at a position higher than a height of the position where the light source is arranged, and a transmittance of a region opposing the light source is 60% or less.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2011Publication date: May 31, 2012Inventors: Nobuo Kawamura, Masahiro Yokota, Osamu Ono, Ken Takahashi, Takeshi Ookawa, Shusuke Morita, Takashi Nishimura, Hidemi Matsuda

Publication number: 20120134162Abstract: A recessed lighting enclosure comprises a housing having an open bottom, at least first and second side walls, a tapered roof, and an opening in the roof. The roof opening can optionally be covered with a flap, and is preferably overhung by an eve. The housing can be made of a cardboard or other foldable or readily cut panel, internally lined with fiberglass or other insulation. The insulation can advantageously extend below the bottom of the panel. Panels can be manufactured and shipped in a flattened shipping configuration. Assembly can use chemical, mechanical, or any other suitable mechanical connectors. Once installed, mats, bats, blown or any other type of insulation can be disposed about the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2011Publication date: May 31, 2012Inventor: David Hanacek
