Patent number: 8511870Abstract: A method and apparatus involve a radiation source assembly that outputs radiation along an output path of travel, and that has a support section configured to facilitate support of the assembly so that a position of the assembly can be adjusted approximately pivotally about the output path of travel. According to a different aspect, a method and apparatus involve: generating radiation with a radiation source in a radiation source assembly that is a modular unit; emitting this radiation approximately in a direction; supporting the radiation source near an input port of a radiation guide so that the radiation from the radiation source enters the input port, and so that the radiation source is positionally adjustable toward and away from the input port parallel to the direction; and supplying radiation through the radiation guide from the input port to an output port thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Raytheon Canada LimitedInventor: Blaise R. J. Robitaille

Publication number: 20130208481Abstract: A light fixture comprises a lens frame, a lens on the lens frame and a light source. The lens and light source are movable relative to each other between a first position in which the lens and the light source are nearer each other and a second position in which the lens and light source are further away from each other, wherein light produced by the light fixture is more focused or more diffuse according to the relative positions of the lens and the light source.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2013Publication date: August 15, 2013Inventor: Danny H. Sooferian

Publication number: 20130170217Abstract: An illuminator arrangement with less heat intervention includes a reflecting body having a top opening and a bottom opening, a lens assembled above the top opening, an aluminum base assembled at the bottom opening, at least one heat pipe extended from the aluminum base, a light source assembled on the aluminum base, the heat pipe being made of the material which is a good heat conductor. Under this arrangement, the aluminum base could be moved up and down relative to the top opening so that the light source on the aluminum base could move toward the lens or moves away from the lens so as to diffuse light or focus light. Furthermore, the heat pipe dissipates the heat generated by the light source away from the reflecting body.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Inventor: Wen-Sung LEE

Patent number: RE44903Abstract: A device is disclosed that uses a plurality of light sources. The light sources may be light emitting diodes (LEDs). The light sources are arranged and mounted to a deformable flexible substrate. The light sources are arranged and mounted to the substrate as to emit their radiation perpendicular to the substrate. The substrate is flexed in a concave or convex manner by motor, magnetic field or other mechanical means. The light sources may emit their radiation perpendicular to the substrate, or the may diverge or converge their radiation away from the substrate. Perforations in the substrate provide cooling to the light sources by convection or forced air. A threaded holder may be screwed onto threads on a case in order to bend the flexible substrate to change the direction of light from the light sources mounted to the flexible substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Inventor: Richard S.
