20120119619	High speed optical scanning mirror system using piezoelectric benders - A construction is presented, which is comprised of two piezoelectric bending cantilevers, of different lengths, called a first bender and a second bender respectively, in which both benders bend in opposite directions. The second bender is mechanically in series connected to the first bender, thereby increasing the rotation angle of the tip of the second bender. The length of the second bender is chosen thus that in sinusoidal excitation, the tip of the second bender remains at the same point throughout the entire cycle, while it does undergo rotation. In this fashion a virtual axis at the tip of the second bender is created. The width of both benders is chosen such that the moment that the second bender can exert on an object that is connected to it, enables the construction to drive an optical element to scanning vibratory rotary motion with a large angle at high frequencies.	05-17-2012

20090032827	Concave Wide Emitting Lens for LED Useful for Backlighting - Lenses for LEDs are described that efficiently create a substantially uniform light emission across a surface of a backlight box. The backlight may illuminate an LCD. A wide-emitting lens refracts light emitted by an LED die to cause a peak intensity to occur within 35-65 degrees off the die's center axis, normal to the die's top surface, and an intensity along the center axis to be between 40% and 90% of the peak intensity. The lens is concave over the die and has smooth edges that transition into the lens sidewalls. The direct emissions of the lenses from a plurality of LEDs arranged on a base surface in a backlight box combine together to uniformly illuminate a light output surface of the backlight box.	02-05-2009
