In addition, the compact housing contains at least one electrical feedthrough, such that at least one electrically conductive connection may be produced therewith from inside the volume to outside the volume, this connection being insulated electrically from the mounting plate. Within the volume a module is located which is designed to emit electromagnetic radiation. This module is applied directly to the mounting plate, such that the joint face between mounting plate and module is substantially parallel to the main side of the mounting plate joined to the external support.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2008Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbHInventors: Thomas Schwarz, Ulrich Steegmüller, Michael Kühnelt, Roland Schulz

Patent number: 8585256Abstract: An electrical energy supply indicator for a helmet is disclosed to employ a casing having a storage chamber for housing an electrical resistor, a light-emitting diode (LED), a cover plate, a female terminal socket; wherewith the storage chamber has a compartment plate, the female terminal socket has an article locking member, a pin receiving member having four trapezoidal faces, an anode and a cathode for connecting with the resistor and LED. The locking member is immobilized between the compartment plate and an interior surface, the receiving member passes through the receiving channel to connect externally with a male terminal pin. The LED operates to determine if attached electrical circuit is powered. A slant-faced extrusion block is on the underside of the cover plate to superimpose onto the locking member such that the locking member can be more secured inside the casing, thereby preventing undesirable movement of the female terminal socket.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2012Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Inventor: Tsan-Jee Chen

Patent number: 8585245Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses for providing a reliable enclosure and seal for a system or a device, such as a lighting fixture, are disclosed. The solution presented utilizes a silicone gasket combined with an o-ring chord, an acrylic optic and an extrusion to provide a water-tight, air-tight and water-proof enclosure for the lighting fixture. The seal created by the enclosure is maintained regardless of any temperature or environmental changes, as well as any changes in sizes of the components of the enclosure due to the temperature changes. The silicone gasket, in combination with one or more o-rings, end caps and the extrusion adjust for any expansion or contraction of any components of the enclosure due to temperature changes of the lighting fixture or any other enclosed apparatus, system or device.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2010Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Integrated Illumination Systems, Inc.Inventors: John Black, Keith Tracy

Publication number: 20130294057Abstract: An awareness ribbon novelty lamp assembly provides an illuminated awareness novelty in low light conditions. The lamp assembly includes a three-dimensional, awareness ribbon construction and a cap assembly. The awareness ribbon construction is constructed from a light-penetrative material and defines an awareness ribbon shape. The upper end of the ribbon construction includes an assembly-receiving aperture intermediate anterior and posterior ribbon portions. The cap assembly includes an aperture-closing construction and a light assembly. The light assembly is receivable in the assembly-receiving aperture, and the closing construction caps the assembly-receiving aperture. The light assembly provides illumination internally to the awareness ribbon construction for enabling onlookers to readily visualize the ribbon construction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventor: Richard J.

Patent number: 8573816Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an enhanced composite lens, which is formed from a material, such as thermoplastic material. The thermoplastic material may be polycarbonate, acrylic glass, and the like. To form the composite lens, a resin of the desired thermoplastic material is formed in the desired shape of a lens. To facilitate light diffusion within the body of the resultant lens, diffusive additives are added to the thermoplastic resin when forming the composite lens. As such, the diffusive additives are dispersed throughout the body of the composite lens and light diffusion occurs volumetrically within and throughout the body of the composite lens.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2011Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Gerald H. Negley, Paul Pickard
