| 20090013570 | Apparatus and methods for the thermal regulation of light emitting diodes in signage - Apparatus and methods for the thermal management of one or more light emitting diode (LED) modules disposed within a channel sign are disclosed. The apparatus, in various aspects, detects the ambient temperature generally proximate the LED module and regulates the current flowed onto the LED's within the LED module based upon the ambient temperature. Methods for thermal management of the one or more LED modules disposed within a channel sign are disclosed herein. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20110271569 | DISPLAY WITH MULTI-FACETED ILLUMINATION EFFECT - A display presenting a multi-faceted illumination effect includes a housing having an opening and a light source within the housing. A cover at least partially covers the opening of the housing and has a plurality of facets that are angled with respect to each other. One or more of the angles are formed such that facets abutting at the angles are visibly distinct to an observer outside the housing when illuminated by the light source within the housing to produce the multi-faceted illumination effect. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110277362 | Direct point LED signs - A direct point LED sign employs the use of flat head LED's embedded within a mirrored reflective panel where an upper layer of varying distance from the mirrored surface comprises a crushed ice diffuser with an irregular front surface which reflects and intensifies light passing therein creating an enlarged surface area of the LED's. This in turn greatly increases the readability of the character members in road and highway signs, commercial signs, or individual letters, numbers, and symbols. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20120023794 | PORTABLE SOLAR LIGHT FOR SPORTS ENTHUSIAST - The present lighting units provide an effective means by which a sports fan may express his support for a favorite team or school, whether it be a professional team, a collegiate team or college, or a high school team or high school. The portable lighting unit includes a housing having the appearance of a plurality of connected tiers, each of the tiers having a differing dimension such that the tiers convey a stair-step configuration. To represent the sports team or school, at least two three-dimensional alphabetic characters are affixed to a front surface of the tiers. A solar-powered lighting fixture is attached to the uppermost surface of the top tier to provide illumination for outdoor or indoor use. The housing and lettering may feature the team colors. A method of producing the lighting unit is also provided. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20130326921 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL METALLIC CHARACTER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - The present application relates to the field of advertising lamp, in particular to a three-dimensional metallic character and the manufacturing method thereof. The three-dimensional metallic character includes: each stroke of the three-dimensional metallic character is made up by two planes which are intersecting to present a shape of mountain ridge; the ridge portion the mountain ridge constitutes the font; the ridge surface forming the mountain ridge has holes thereon; the bottom of the ridge surface forming the mountain ridge is longitudinally connected to a side surface. The three-dimensional metallic character and the manufacturing method thereof provided by the present application are novel in character structure and durable in use. When electrified in the night, the character provided herein presents eye-catching and artistic visual effect, and meanwhile beautifies urban night scene. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20140237872 | Three-Dimensional Signboard and Making Method Thereof - A three-dimensional signboard and a making method thereof are provided. The three-dimensional signboard comprises an upper unit and a lower unit which are connected; the upper unit comprising a main portion ( | 08-28-2014 |
| 20150317922 | Apparatus Pertaining to Physically-Discrete Sign Components - A physically-discrete sign component comprises an internally-electrically-illuminated alphabetic character having a front-facing profile and at least one connecting bar disposed at least substantially horizontally with respect to the front-facing profile of the alphabetic character and at least partially within the front-facing profile of that alphabetic character. By one approach the physically-discrete sign component includes two of the connecting bars. If desired, these two connecting bars are disposed at least substantially parallel to one another. By one approach, a first one of the connecting bars extends partially, but not wholly, above an upper periphery of the aforementioned front-facing profile while the second connecting bar extends partially, but not wholly, below a lower periphery of the front-facing profile. The connecting bars can include a connecting-bar interface configured to physically and electrically interconnect to an adjacent sign component. | 11-05-2015 |
