  • Patent number: 11959299
    Abstract: A tent frame includes a detachable illumination device with a casing to house batteries, a light source to emit light, a coupler and a first cover. The casing includes a first member. The coupler includes a second member, and one or more electrically-conductive members for electrically connecting the batteries. The second member is movable relative to the first member in a first direction to facilitate engagement/disengagement of the coupler with/from the casing. The second member is immovable relative to the first member in a second direction to prevent the one or more electrically-conductive members from misaligning with the batteries. The first cover is movable relative to the coupler in the first and second directions. When connected to the casing, the first cover pushes the coupler in the first direction toward the batteries and presses the one or more electrically-conductive members against the batteries to ensure electrical connection.

  • Patent number: 11926775
    Abstract: This specification discloses methods of enhancing the stability and performance of Eu2+ doped narrow band red emitting phosphors. In one embodiment the resulting phosphor compositions are characterized by crystallizing in ordered structure variants of the UCr4C4 crystal structure type and having a composition of AE1?xLi3?2yAl1+y?zSizO4?4y?zN4y+z:Eux (AE=Ca, Sr, Ba, or a combination thereof, 0<x<0.04, 0?y<1, 0<z<0.05, y+z?1). It is believed that the formal substitution (Al,O)+ by (Si,N)+ reduces the concentration of unwanted Eu3+ and thus enhances properties of the phosphor such as stability and conversion efficiency.
