20120147611 | LIGHT EMITTING DIODE-BASED LAMP HAVING A VOLUME SCATTERING ELEMENT - A lamp having a candle-like appearance and using one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as its light source is presented. The candle-like appearance arises because light is emitted from only a small volume at or near the center of the bulb. The heat sink and control electronics are located outside the bulb of the lamp. Inside the bulb is a set of secondary optics that guide the light from one or more LEDs to an emission point at a prescribed location in the interior of the bulb. The secondary optics include a light pipe that guides light away from the LED chip, and a volume scattering element that receives the light from the light pipe and scatters it into various directions. The volume scattering element is made from a transparent base material, and includes transparent particles of a predetermined size and refractive index. Because the lamp is typically used in an overhead position, such as in a hanging chandelier, the density of particles in the volume scattering element, the particle size and the particle refractive index are chosen to produce a scattering pattern that directs more light downward (toward the base of the bulb) than upward, while maintaining a reasonable efficiency (fraction of produced light that successfully exits the lamp). Simulation results are presented. | 06-14-2012 |
20120250336 | Flameless Candle With Threaded Insert and Method for Assembling the Same - According to embodiments of the present invention, a flameless candle is claimed, depicted, and described. The candle has a candle shell, which includes a sidewall (such as a waxen sidewall) surrounding a hollow region. There is an opening through the bottom of the candle shell leading into the hollow region. This flameless candle also has an electronics insert. The insert has a housing. At least one thread (for example, an exterior thread or male thread) is arranged on a lateral portion of the housing. This thread (or threads as used herein) can be rotated in response to a torque force on the electronics insert. The rotation causes the electronics insert to be drawn through the opening and into the hollow region, thereby substantially securing the electronics insert to the candle shell. | 10-04-2012 |
