Us Patents
Ultraviolet Curing Apparatus For Continuous Material
Robert Brassell - Avon OH, US Edward C. McGhee - Amherst OH, US James W. Schmitkons - Lorain OH, US
Assignee:
Nordson Corporation - Westlake OH
International Classification:
A61N 5/06
US Classification:
250504R, 2504931, 2504961, 2505031
Abstract:
An ultraviolet radiation curing system is disclosed for treating a substrate, such as fiber optic cable or silicone tubing. The system comprises a processing chamber allowing transport of a continuous piece of substrate to be treated. As the substrate moves through the processing chamber, ultraviolet radiation from a plasma lamp activated by a microwave generator treats the surface of the substrate. The system comprises two elliptical reflectors of different sizes so that larger diameter substrates may be efficiently treated with ultraviolet radiation. The system may also comprise an ultraviolet-transmissive conduit enclosing the substrate and split into a first portion and a second portion, where the second portion is movable from the first portion to open the conduit and allow insertion or alignment of the substrate within the conduit and processing chamber.
High-Voltage Electrical Connector With Visual Indicator
Robert Brassell - Avon OH, US James W. Schmitkons - Lorain OH, US
Assignee:
NORDSON CORPORATION - Westlake OH
International Classification:
H01R 4/50
US Classification:
439345, 439489
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a receptacle and a plug. The receptacle includes a tubular housing having an axial bore and at least one electrical contact within the bore. The plug is received in the bore of the receptacle housing and includes a tubular core having an axial bore and at least one electrical contact that engages the electrical contact on the receptacle when the plug is coupled to the receptacle. The plug further includes a rotatable collar for securing the plug to the receptacle. A visual indicator on at least one of the plug core or the receptacle housing is visible through a window in the collar to provide a visual indication when the plug is fully coupled to the receptacle.

- East Cleveland OH, US Brian Morgan Spahnie - E. Cleveland OH, US Robert Brassell - E. Cleveland OH, US Yongli Feng - XiAn, CN
Assignee:
GE Lighting Solutions LLC - East Cleveland OH
International Classification:
F21S 4/00 F21V 23/06 H05K 13/00 H05K 1/18
Abstract:
A system for simulating neon light comprising an elongated guide containing outer surface and a channel; a housing containing an engagement member and area for receiving a light engine; and the light engine. The light engine comprising a flexible printed circuit (FPC), a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) attached to the FPC, and a plurality of electrical connectors all in contact with a power conductor. The FPC also includes a gathering of material between each of the plurality of electrical connectors. Also included is a method for reducing the stress within the light engine.
Showcase Member With Direct-Mounted Led Light Source
- East Cleveland OH, US Robert J. Brassell - East Cleveland OH, US Paul M. Kuester - Shaker Heights OH, US Kyle Douglas Mooney - Cleveland OH, US Jeffrey Marc Nall - Brecksville OH, US
International Classification:
A47F 3/00 F21K 99/00
US Classification:
362125
Abstract:
A showcase member of a glass showcase, the showcase member including a first portion having a plurality of apertures, a light emitting diode (LED) module positioned at one or more of the plurality of apertures and mounted to the showcase member, and a wiring harness electrically connected to the LED module, and configured to electrically connect the LED module to an LED driver circuit. The showcase member can include a second portion integral to the first portion and having tapers forming light shields protruding from the showcase member.
