The heat sink includes: an accommodation portion configured to accommodate a substrate whereon a chip is mounted or to be mounted, and support or fix the accommodated substrate; and a heat dissipation portion configured to insulate the accommodated substrate, and dissipate heat generated from the substrate or the chip mounted on the substrate to an outside through a heat dissipation material contained in the heat dissipation portion. Accordingly, since the heat sink for a chip mounting substrate in which a heat dissipation material is embedded is manufactured by injection molding, a manufacturing process can be simplified.

  • Patent number: 9016905
    Abstract: A cover for a recessed light fixture includes a base plate mounted on a surface such that an outer perimeter of the base plate surrounds the recessed light fixture. A lens frame is removably secured to the base plate. The lens frame includes a recess that receives an onyx lens that is sized and shaped to fit within the recess. The onyx lens is secured between a lens border of the lens frame and the outer perimeter of the base plate so that the onyx lens is positioned over the recessed light fixture. Light from a lamp within the recessed light fixture passes through the onyx lens and is emitted from a polished surface of the onyx lens to provide a pleasing decorative glow for illuminating a step or other passageway.

  • Patent number: 9016907
    Abstract: An air cooled double ended high pressure sodium lamp fixture for growing plants in confined indoor spaces. The fixture seals the lamp and heat generated by the same to a reflector interior. Flow disruptors create turbulence in a cooling chamber thereby enhancing thermal transfer into a cooling air stream that flows over and around the reflector's exterior side thereby convectively cooling the lamp using the reflector as a heat sink. The lamp is effectively maintained at operational temperatures and the fixture housing is insulated from the hotter reflector by a gap of moving cooling air, allowing use of the double ended HPS lamp in confined indoor growing spaces.

  • Publication number: 20150109782
    Abstract: An LED luminaire includes a thermal management system and features minimal glare while allowing for use of traditional luminaire housing. The luminaire of the depicted embodiments comprises a luminaire housing, an LED light module, an LED driver, a diffuser, and reflectors. The LED light module comprises at least one LED array, a primary thermal interface, and a secondary thermal interface. These thermal interfaces, particularly when used in conjunction with a conductive housing, allow for optimal thermal management by utilizing both natural convection and conduction to remove the heat from inside the luminaire into the surrounding air. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the position of the LED arrays within the housing in combination with the reflector design creates an optical path resulting in an indirect light source that minimizes glare, while providing a uniform distribution of light, unlike traditional LED luminaires.
