20140245583 | OBSTRUCTION DETECTION DEVICE - An obstruction detection device for use with a truss fabrication system including a table having spaced accessways. The obstruction detection device includes a support structure configured for movable attachment to a table having spaced accessways. An obstruction sensor is connected to the support structure and configured to detect obstructions in the spaced accessways of the table. The obstruction sensor has an activated state and a deactivated state. A control system is operatively connected to the obstruction sensor to activate and deactivate the obstruction sensor in response to a position of the obstruction sensor relative to the spaced accessways. The control system activates the obstruction sensor when the obstruction sensor is aligned with one of the spaced accessways of the table and deactivates the obstruction sensor when the obstruction sensor is out of alignment with the spaced accessways of the table. | 09-04-2014 |

20120243230 | HEAT TRANSFER ASSEMBLY FOR LED-BASED LIGHT BULB OR LAMP DEVICE - A LED-based light bulb or lamp device including a bulb body, an LED assembly, an LED heatsink, and a power conversion heatsink. The LED assembly includes a plurality of LEDs and circuitry. The circuitry includes power converting components adapted to modify applied power for powering the LEDs via conductive wiring. The LED heatsink is mounted to the bulb body in close proximity to at least one of the LEDs. The power conversion heatsink is provided apart from the LED heatsink and is mounted to the bulb body in close proximity to at least one of the power converting components. The LED heatsink dissipates heat from at least some of the light emitting diode lights whereas the separate power conversion heatsink dissipates heat from the power converting circuitry components, thereby separating the heat-generating components and their mounting zones, heat paths and heatsink surface areas. | 09-27-2012 |
20140268744 | LED BULB OPTICAL SYSTEM WITH UNIFORM LIGHT DISTRIBUTION - A pear-shaped light-emitting diode (LED) light bulb housing is provided with a plurality of light-dispersing thickness variations in the bulb envelope. Dimples, bumps, or v-shaped grooves are provided in a middle portion of the bulb envelope in order to uniformly disperse light from LEDs as the light passes through the bulb envelope. | 09-18-2014 |
20140319002 | PACKAGING ASSEMBLY FOR LIGHT BULBS, SUCH AS LED LIGHT BULBS, AND SIMILAR DEVICES - A packaging assembly for packaging a light bulb device. The packaging assembly includes a package and a flexible ribbon. The package is sized and shape in accordance with a size and shape of at least one light bulb device. The flexible ribbon extends from the package and displays product information. In some embodiments, the package has a clamshell-like design, including first and second packaging sections connected at a hinge. In other embodiments, the package forms a first hanger hole and the ribbon forms a second hanger hole. | 10-30-2014 |
20150084497 | LED BULB OPTICAL SYSTEM WITH UNIFORM LIGHT DISTRIBUTION - A pear-shaped light-emitting diode (LED) light bulb housing is provided with a plurality of light-dispersing thickness variations in the bulb envelope. Dimples, bumps, or v-shaped grooves are provided in a middle portion of the bulb envelope in order to uniformly disperse light from LEDs as the light passes through the bulb envelope. | 03-26-2015 |
20150252956 | LED LIGHT BULB WITH INTERNAL FLEXIBLE HEATSINK AND CIRCUIT - An LED light bulb device that includes a bulb body, a plurality of flexible circuit strips, and at least one LED. The flexible circuit strips are formed to a shape of, and adhered directly to, an interior face of the bulb body. At least one of the flexible circuit strips defines a plurality of stress-relieving notches. At least one LED is mounted to a corresponding one of the flexible circuit strips and is electrically connected to a conductive trace formed by the flexible circuit strip. The LEDs are arranged to aim inwardly relative to the bulb body. In some embodiments, a rear surface of each of the flexible circuit strips is adhesively attached to the interior face of the bulb body. In some embodiments, a plurality of LEDs are provided and arranged to provide one or both of uniform light distribution and diverse heat distribution. | 09-10-2015 |
