Patent number: 9803814Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture, comprising a non-metallic housing having a central opening adapted to receive an LED lamp therethrough. The housing is formed of a front-facing trim ring surrounding the central opening and a rear portion coupled to a rear of the trim ring about the LED lamp. The rear portion includes at least two peripheral flanges that extend backward from the trim ring and terminate in a spring-clip support. A spring clip is coupled to each of the spring clip supports and is rotatably biased toward a front of the housing to bear against a backside of a recessed opening when the housing is inserted into the recessed opening and when the trim ring bears against a frontside of the recessed opening.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: O'RYAN INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventor: Rick Grant

Patent number: 9797588Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide an electronic display assembly. One or more heat-generating components are preferably placed in thermal communication with a plate. One or more fans are placed to draw cooling air along the plate to remove the heat removed from the component. Some embodiments may place the plate behind the electronic image assembly, so that cooling air can remove heat from the plate as well as the electronic image assembly. Exemplary embodiments have power modules in thermal communication with optional conductive ribs. Conductive thermal communication is established between the optional ribs and the components in the exemplary embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Manufacturing Resources International, Inc.Inventors: William Dunn, Ware Bedell, Tim Hubbard

Patent number: 9777915Abstract: An LED downlight lighting module is provided including an LED module having one or more single LEDs on a first printed circuit board, a heat sink, and a second printed circuit board. In an embodiment, the first printed circuit board is in good thermal contact with the heat sink such that heat from the LEDs is dissipated through the heat sink. In an embodiment, the second printed circuit board is adapted to accommodate a power and control circuitry for the LEDs, and is thermally insulated from the heat sink and from the first printed circuit board, and thus from the LED module. According to an aspect, the LEDs serve as the principal heat generating component on the printed circuit board, thus helping to increase the light output from the LEDs and/or increase the lifespan of the LED downlight lighting module.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2015Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Gooee LimitedInventor: Andrew Johnson

Patent number: 9743551Abstract: An integrated thermal apparatus includes a piezoelectric device and a thermal module which includes a thermal plate contacting a heat source to remove heat from the heat source. The thermal plate has built-in heat sinks for maximizing the surface area for heat dissipation. Each piezoelectric device includes one or more piezoelectric elements. Through the actions of piezoelectric elements, a jet of air and an influx of air are generated to cool the heat sinks. The airflow also cools the surface of heat plate, which acts like a fan mounted on top of the heat source.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2015Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: ICE Computer, Inc.Inventors: Shang-Che Cheng, Catherine Cheng
