Enhanced electroluminescent sign

An enhanced electroluminescent sign containing a volumetric, anisotropic scattering element to control the angular spread of light from the sign and the spatial luminance uniformity of the sign. The anisotropic scattering element contains one or more regions of asymmetrically-shaped light scattering particles. The angular spread of light leaving a sign from a light emitting source can be efficiently controlled by using a thin, low cost, volumetric, anisotropic scattering elements to angularly and spatially distribute light, permitting the reduction in number of light sources, a reduction in power requirements, or a more tailored viewing angle.

Bifurcated oil scavenge system for a gas turbine engine

An oil scavenge system includes a tangential scavenge scoop and a settling area adjacent thereto which separately communicate with a duct which feeds oil into an oil flow path and back to an oil sump. A shield is mounted over the settling area to at least partially shield the collecting liquid oil from interfacial shear. A multiple of apertures are located through the shield to permit oil flow through the shield and into the duct. The scavenge scoop forms a partition which separates the duct into a first portion and a second portion. The first portion processes upstream air / oil mixture that is captured by the tangential scoop while the second portion receives the oil collected in the settling area.

Broadcast messaging in peer to peer overlay network

Broadcast messages are efficiently directed to nodes of an overlay network. Broadcast messages include an End ID parameter specifying the range of key values for nodes that should receive the broadcast message. Each node of an overlay network maintains a list of finger nodes and their respective key values. Upon receiving a broadcast message, a node assigns a finger node a new End ID value based upon the End ID value of the broadcast message or the key value of an adjacent finger node. The node compares a finger node's new End ID value with the finger node's key value to determine whether to forward the broadcast message to that finger node. A broadcast message forwarded to a finger node includes an End ID parameter equal to the new End ID value determined for the finger node. Nodes can aggregate response messages from its finger nodes.

Hybrid projector LED low beam headlamp

The optics system is a lamp assembly which produces the desired beam pattern by using a reflector, a lens, a retainer lens, and an LED as a light source. The lamp assembly has three main components (the reflector, the lens, and the retainer lens) that maintain proper alignment between the light source and the reflector, the lens, and the retainer lens. The optical system collects substantially 100% of the light from the light source while effectively shaping the beam pattern using both cylindrical and revolved reflector elements. The lens has a saddle-shape which is used with the surface of a revolution to eliminate any “dogbone” light pattern shape. The use of a reflective element forms the foreground of the beam pattern.

Optical system for a Light Emitting Diode with collection, conduction, phosphor directing, and output means

An optical system with an LED light source utilizes a base with an inverted conical shape to conduct light to a phosphor layer. The phosphor layer emits light from both upper and lower surfaces. The base and a substantially mirror image cap element facilitate efficient extraction of the phosphor-generated light from the optical system so that the output of the system is omni-directional light suitable for common lighting applications. The system is very efficient in that nearly all the light generated by the LED is transmitted to the phosphor layer, and nearly all the light emitted from the phosphor layer is output from the system.

Fan inlet and housing for a centrifugal blower whose impeller has forward curved fan blades

A centrifugal blower with forward curved fan blades includes an inlet shroud whose shape is specifically designed for creating a smooth incoming airflow pattern that leads into the inner leading edges of the fan blades. The inlet shroud has first and second curved surfaces, wherein the centers of curvature of the two surfaces lie in the same plane, and the center of curvature as well as the radius of curvature of one curved surface is greater than that of the other. At least one center of curvature lies beyond the outer diameter of the impeller, and at least one center of curvature lies beyond the impeller's inner diameter, wherein the impeller's inner diameter is defined by the inner leading edges of the fan blades. Performance benefits are achieved when a forward curved blower with such an inlet shroud operates with a flow coefficient of between 9 and 52.

Respiration hood useful in biological, radiological and chemical emergencies

A respiration hood assembly is effected from a thin-walled headpiece nested within the periphery of a mating exterior housing that includes a filtered aperture. The nested engagement between the headpiece and the housing is also useful in capturing one edge of a plastic membrane skirt that is thus suspended to drape over the person wearing the headpiece. A battery powered electric fan is deployed within the housing to draw ambient air through the vent aperture into the space shrouded by the skirt. The nested headpiece arrangement is useful in retaining other fibrous towels or tissue to extend the usefulness of the assembly and a parallel connection is provided to a motor vehicle battery to extend the period of electrical excitation.

Tri-flow head assembly

A head assembly for presenting a three layer material flow includes primary and secondary housings for presenting a first interior layer and a second intermediate layer of the three layer flow. A downstream melt distributor melds the first and second material layers into a combined material flow for deposit of a third exterior layer about the combined flow. The melt distributor includes a sinuous channel for directing the material of the outer layer into points of discharge about the combined material flow. A scroll-like distributor communicates with the discharge points for directing the third material into an annular path about the combined flow, and a subsequent melding of the third material with the combined flow. The resulting three layer flow is directed to a downstream die assembly.

Solid state imaging device

Light guides are formed above each light receiving element. These light guides are made of a high refractive index material, and surrounded by a material of lower refractive index. The light guides are each made up of a light introduction region leading with a constant width from a light entrance surface, and a tapered reduced region leading from the light introduction region to a light exit surface. The light introduction region totally reflects the incident light toward the reduced region. The reduced region, owing to its tapered shape, surely directs the light onto a light receiving element, and prevents the light from entering charge transfer paths around the light receiving element.

Saw deflection shield

An air deflection system and method which is specifically designed for use with reciprocating saws of the type widely used for construction projects. Such reciprocating saws are known to produce so much air-borne particulate matter that they can be a hazard to the eyes, head and respiratory system of the user. The air-borne debris also makes it difficult for the user to see the work being cut. The design provides a slip-on cover for air exit ports which has the effect of deflecting air and hence the particulate matter in a direction away from the head of the user. The resulting effect is a safer and more efficient sawing operation which is accomplished with a low-cost and easy to install deflection shield.

Recyclable continuous ink jet print head and method

A recyclable continuous ink jet print head is provided that includes a manifold formed from a metal such as stainless steel, a die having ink jet nozzles formed from a ceramic material such as silicon, a control circuit connected to the die via microwiring, and an interposing member disposed between the manifold and the die. The interposing member is formed from a composite material such as Al—SiC having a coefficient of thermal conductivity that is higher than that of the silicon die, and a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is between that of the die and the manifold. During manufacture, the CTE value of the interposing member allows long-lasting, heat-cured epoxy compositions to be used to bond the die to the manifold and to encapsulate the microwiring between the die and a control circuit with while maintaining proper alignment of the die ink jet nozzles on the manifold. When the die wears out, the high thermal conductivity of the interposing member allows the die to be easily removed from the manifold, thereby facilitating re-cycling of the manifold.
