The combination of PWM and AM permits fine tuning of the spectrum of emissions and creation of free space optical data channels.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Telelumen, LLCInventor: Steven Paolini

Patent number: 9028097Abstract: An LED apparatus of the type including (a) a mounting board having an LED-supporting surface with an LED device thereon and (b) a lens member over the LED device establishing a light path therebetween. The inventive LED apparatus includes a lens-aligning member having front and back surfaces. The lens member includes a lens portion and a flange thereabout, the flange being attached to the front surface of the lens-aligning member such that the lens portion substantially surrounds the protruding LED device. The lens-aligning member has a first mating feature which is positioned and arranged for mating engagement with a second mating feature of the mounting board, thereby accurately aligning the lens member over the LED device by accurately aligning the lens-alignment member with the mounting board. Other aspects of the invention is a method for assembly of an LED apparatus and a method for manufacturing custom high-efficiency LED lensing for LED-array modules.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventor: Kurt S.

Patent number: 9028102Abstract: A luminaire includes a base, a light-emitting unit, and a lamp cover. The base includes a first tube part, a second tube part having an inner diameter smaller than that of the first tube part, and a joint part connected between the first and second tube parts. An inner flow path is defined by at least the first tube part, the joint part, and the second tube part in a coaxial manner. The lamp cover is fixed on the base for covering the light-emitting unit. As such, air heated by the light-emitting unit flows out of the inner flow path to thereby allow cold air to be sucked into the inner flow path.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2011Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignees: Lite-On Electronics (Guangzhou) Limited, Lite-On Technology Corp.Inventors: Po-Wei Li, Tsung-Chi Lee, Shih-Chang Hsu, Chin-Yin Yu

Patent number: 9028095Abstract: A LED bulb includes a transparent bulb base, a transparent bulb shell, a luminosity module, and a reflector. A bulb adapter is mounted on a lower end of the bulb base. A chamber is defined by the bulb base and the bulb shell, and a driver is mounted in the chamber. The luminosity module mounted in the chamber includes several LEDs and is electrically connected with the driver to allow the LEDs to be driven to project light towards the lower end of the bulb base. The reflector mounted in the chamber and located between the luminosity module and the bulb adapter can reflect light projected toward the lower end of the bulb base by the LEDs for generation of projected sidelight. The LED bulb can promote edge-emitting light which is amplified by downward projected light from the LEDs and rays reflected by the reflector.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Inventor: Wen-Sung Hu
