  • Patent number: 10627069
    Abstract: A headlamp for a vehicle. The headlamp uses individual light emitting didoes or LEDs to generate individual light beams, which collectively form a composite beam. Because of manufacturing irregularities, some of the individual beams overlap neighboring beams, and form bright spots within the composite beam, which are not desirable. It is possible to de-focus the individual beams, to thereby spread out the bright spots, and reduce their intensities. However, that de-focusing would conflict with another goal. When the vehicle follows another vehicle, some individual beams which would apply glare to the other vehicle are shut off. But it is desirable that the remaining active individual beams which flank the other vehicle have sharply defined edges. De-focusing would soften the edges. Therefore, one form of the invention selectively de-focuses individual beams only when they are not adjacent individual beams which are active.

  • Patent number: 10627083
    Abstract: A modular system comprising track-mounted fixtures and track is described. In some embodiments, fixtures access electrical power through electrified railings recessed within a relatively narrow power slot of the track. Primary mechanical support of the fixture weight is optionally provided from a magnetic mounting surface surrounding the power slot. The track cross-section optionally provides mounting surface area on mounting wings, allowing a narrower slot housing. Optionally, secondary mechanical support provided within the slot comprises a deployable anchoring element which laterally expands into a receiving area. Optionally, deployment comprises rotation of the anchoring element. The anchoring element, in some embodiments, acts as a secondary mechanical support, preventing, for example, accidental detachment of the fixture from the slot, without preventing repositioning movements of the fixture along the slot, even when fully deployed.

    Abstract: A track lighting device includes a clamp assembly having a dual engagement mechanism for coupling to a track. For example, the clamp assembly includes a collar rotatable about a collar axis, and a cam follower having a cam-pin received by a first groove of a cam. The cam also includes a second groove and a first engagement member. The first groove translates a rotational movement of the collar and the cam follower into a linear movement along the collar axis to releasably couple the first engagement member to the track. The clamp assembly also includes a latch assembly having a second engagement member and a latch-pin in communication with the second groove of the cam. At least a portion of the latch assembly pivots about a latch axis based on movement of the latch-pin relative to the second groove to couple the second engagement member to the track.

  • Patent number: 10627093
    Abstract: Embodiments may utilize a series of exposed fins, which increase the surface area of the heat sink creating additional air flow. As hotter air rises within the system, cooler is drawn into the heatsink. The fins may be exposed on both sides of the longitudinal axis, allowing cooler air to be drawn towards the longitudinal axis above the heatsink and flow upward. This process may cool the fins. Additionally, the spacing between the fins may have to be wide enough to allow for air to freely enter the heatsink.
