20080214896 | ENDOSCOPE WITH DETACHABLE ELONGATION PORTION - Endoscopes comprising a handle and a detachable elongation portion housing a light source for illuminating the distal end of the elongation portion are provided. | 09-04-2008 |
20090034286 | Illumination device - Illumination devices include a light source including a substantially planar light-emitting surface and an optical rod or optical taper disposed proximate to the substantially planar light-emitting surface to optically couple the optical rod and the substantially planar light-emitting surface. | 02-05-2009 |
20090040783 | Compact, high efficiency, high power solid state light source using a single solid state light-emitting device - A compact, high-efficiency, high-power, solid state light source, comprising a high-power solid state light-emitting device, a light guide having a proximal light-receiving end proximate the light-emitting device and a distal light-transmitting end spaced farther from the light-emitting device, and a mechanical light guide fixing device coupled to the light guide near its proximal end, to hold the proximal end of the light guide in position near the light-emitting device. | 02-12-2009 |
20090076328 | ENDOSCOPE WITH INTERNAL LIGHT SOURCE AND POWER SUPPLY - The present invention provides an endoscope with a watertight and air-tight endoscope handle that in preferred embodiments contains in its interior a solid-state light source and a gas permeable and liquid impermeable sealed compartment holding a battery and an electronic circuit, where the sealed compartment is preferably transverse to the long axis of the endoscope handle, and, in certain embodiments, at least partially surrounded by a movable structure. | 03-19-2009 |
20090122573 | ILLUMINATION DEVICE - Illumination devices include a light source including a substantially planar light-emitting surface and an optical rod or optical taper disposed proximate to the substantially planar light-emitting surface to optically couple the optical rod and the substantially planar light-emitting surface. | 05-14-2009 |
20090185392 | DETACHABLE ILLUMINATION SYSTEM - Illumination devices utilized within detachable illumination systems include a light source including a substantially planar light-emitting surface and an optical rod or optical taper disposed proximate to the substantially planar light-emitting surface to optically couple the optical rod and the substantially planar light-emitting surface. | 07-23-2009 |
20090190371 | MONOLITHIC ILLUMINATION DEVICE - A monolithic light engine includes a heat sink, a semiconductor light source (e.g., a light emitting diode, a plurality of semiconductor light sources), and a light conduit. The semiconductor light source includes a light-emitting top surface and a back surface thermally coupled to the heat sink. In some embodiments, the monolithic light engine includes a wavelength converter. The wavelength converter converts a first wavelength or range of wavelengths emitted from the light-emitting surface to a second wavelength or range of wavelength light. The light of the second wavelength range enters the light conduit and is transmitted along the length of the light conduit to illuminate an object placed at some distance away from the light source. The heat sink, light source, and the light conduit are mechanically, rigidly coupled (e.g., via one or more mechanical connectors) so as to form a monolithic light engine. | 07-30-2009 |
20140313766 | Illumination Device and Related Systems and Methods - Illumination devices include a light source including a substantially planar light-emitting surface and an optical rod or optical taper disposed proximate to the substantially planar light-emitting surface to optically couple the optical rod and the substantially planar light-emitting surface. | 10-23-2014 |
