Abstract:
An integrated light and accessory assembly for a vehicle is disclosed. The assembly includes at least one lamp for illumination of a vehicle, and also includes reflective, conductive and insulative portions inside a housing, and a module for controlling or accessorizing the assembly. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the assembly. The method includes providing materials for molding or shaping the components of the assembly, selectively etching conductive materials, molding the materials into a desired configuration, connecting a lamp and an accessory module to the conductive portions, and enclosing the components in a housing. A portion of the module may be removed for emergency lighting.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display module defines a housing of essentially C-shaped cross-section for improved economy and for connection, protection, and support of the liquid crystal display and backlighting elements. Additionally, the drivers for the LCD may be so located by this invention, as to make room for a more intense light source to illuminate the LCD display. Also, the LCD module may exhibit a software variable color display through the use of one or more white or different color light sources and color polarizers. The invention also includes an improvement to the conventional means of applying printed circuitry to the unique housing.
Abstract:
A liquid photopolymer layer covering a phototool image surface with one surface exposed to air is exposed by radiation through the phototool to partially harden in a pattern defined by the image the photopolymer layer through a part of its thickness. The air exposed surface portion is thus left in liquid form for contacting the surface of a printed wiring board, preferably by scanning along the length of a phototool with a pressurized roll or blade to contact and adhere the preimaged laminate to board surface in an air bubble free lamination where subsequent radiation exposure finishes the curing and bonds the cured portion of the polymer layer to the PWB substrate. After removal of the phototool, the polymer layer is developed by washing out uncured polymer portions as defined by the image pattern.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a housing composed of two hinged-together housing sections molded of plastic as a single unitary part. One housing section defines a pair of spaced-apart resilient walls with a slot between them and a series of connector locations spaced along the slot. The other housing section defines a series of compartments which are in register with the connector locations when the two housing sections are superimposed. A flexible printed circuit is folded into the slot, the circuit having pairs of conductive paths positioned in the slot at each said connector location, which paths extend out of the slot so that electrical connections can be made to provide electrical power to bulbs removably retained at said connector locations and in electrical contact with the path pairs at said locations. The front wall of the housing cover section constitutes a light transmitting lens so that, when a bulb in a given compartment is energized, it illuminates that compartment to the exclusion of the others so as to make visible only the legend inscribed on the lens in register with that compartment.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an integrated module and an intelligent device. The integrated module comprises at least one first functional QO module, at least one second functional module, and a PCB. The PCB comprises: a PCB main body, the at least one first functional module being disposed on the PCB main body; and a PCB protruding portion, the PCB protruding portion being disposed on one side of the PCB main body and connected to the PCB main body, and the at least one second functional module being disposed on the PCB protruding portion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor-vehicle headlamp (1), comprising at least one LED (4; 4a, 4d), which is attached by soldering, as an SMD, to metal surfaces (3-1, 3-2) of a printed circuit board (3) at connection points of said LED, and comprising an optical unit (2; 8), which emits the light emitted by the at least one LED into the traffic space, wherein, in order to set the emission direction of the at least one LED in a specific manner, said LED is attached by soldering with different solder thicknesses (d1, d2) between the connection points (4-1, 4-2) of said LED and the metal surfaces of the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a light-emitting device including a first support structure having a first surface, a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged on the first surface, and a first adhesive layer arranged on the first support structure. Each light-emitting element has a side wall, a bottom surface, a first electrode pad, and a second electrode pad arranged on the bottom surface. The first adhesive layer surrounds the side wall and does not directly contact the bottom surface. The first support structure includes a plurality of through holes located on positions corresponding to the first electrode pad and the second electrode pad.
Abstract:
A substrate for a solid state lighting module has a plurality of serrated finger sections extending from an interconnecting base. The substrate may be formed from a single rectangular sheet by cutting away material between adjacent finger sections of a symmetrical second substrate to form the finger sections of the substrate. Parallel linear rows of solid state light sources may be disposed along the length of each finger section. For example, the solid state light sources may be disposed proximate to points of sawteeth at the edges of the finger sections.
Abstract:
A device comprising a first and a second electrically conductive textile portion is provided, wherein the first and second textile portions are electrically isolated from each other. The device also comprises an electrical element having a first contact pad which is electrically connected to the first textile portion and a second contact pad which is electrically connected to the second textile portion, wherein the first and second textile portions are adapted to supply the electrical element with electrical power. An improved textile device is thereby provided, which is capable of supplying an electrical element with electrical power.
