In some embodiments, the base module is deformable and deforms when affixed to the cap module so as to form a compressive water-resistant seal to an interior of the capture device. In an exemplary embodiment, an LED may be captured within the capture device. The cap module may provide a compressing aperture to provide a water resistant seal around the lens of a LED projecting therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Seasons 4 Inc.Inventors: Jason Loomis, Nash Rittmann, Yi Xin Long

Patent number: 10401017Abstract: Lighting devices using selectively permeable barrier elements, graphite sheet materials, and/or browning agent destroyers/sequestering agents are disclosed. In one embodiment a lighting device may include a body or housing with a selectively permeable barrier element, such as a silicone membrane or o-ring to allow diffusion of contaminants from one or more interior volumes to the exterior environment. Contaminants may be mitigated through use of a sequestering agent/browning agent destroyer. Heat conduction between elements of the housing, such as to aid removal of heat generated from a lighting element such as an LED, may be improved through use of graphite materials, such as PGS sheets between housing elements.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: DEEPSEA POWER & LIGHT LLCInventors: Ray Merewether, Mark S. Olsson, Jon E. Simmons, John R. Sanderson, IV, Aaron J. Steiner

Patent number: 10366638Abstract: A hybrid photoluminescent display consumes little electrical power and provides for light emission/color in a desired color. The display includes a housing having openings forming a desired legend. White LEDs internal to the housing provide light for energizing photoluminescent material. A legend panel housed within the housing defines openings corresponding to the legend. Photoluminescent material is disposed within the openings of the legend panel. The photoluminescent material is selected to be energizable by light from the white light source, and to emit light primarily in a selected wavelength range corresponding to a desired legend color. A color is filter disposed adjacent the photoluminescent material on a side of the legend panel opposite the light source. The color filter is selected to selectively transmit substantially all light in the selected wavelength range, and to selectively not transmit substantially all light outside the selected wavelength range.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2015Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: H-3 GROUP, INC.Inventor: Robert Flieder

Patent number: 10322666Abstract: A motor vehicle has a body, wherein the body has body openings, in which auxiliary devices such as lamps, turn indicators, or the like are arranged. A body wall surrounds the body opening and has a body flange formed at the particular body opening, to which body wall a cup-shaped insert is fastened, wherein the particular auxiliary device is fastened to the cup-shaped insert. The cup-shaped insert has a peripheral or partially peripheral, bent flange segment having a fastening segment, which extends parallel to an inner surface of the body wall surrounding the body opening. A glue or an adhesive layer is applied between the outer surface of the fastening segment of the flange segment of the cup-shaped insert and the inner surface of the body wall. A seal is arranged in an intermediate space between a flange segment of the cup-shaped insert and the body wall.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andre Koch, Stefan Mieslinger, Martin Kerscher, Frank Geiger
