| 20080239707 | Iluminating headlamp providing substantially uniform illumination - An illuminating headlamp consisting of a headband and at least one optical device providing illumination at a known distance from said optical device attached to said headband. Each optical device consists of a housing having an open first end and an open second end. There is a light emitting device attached to a mounting which is attached to the second end causing said light emitting device to be orientated at a known angle to an axis of said housing. At least one optically transparent lens is incorporated into said first end, and a means for adjusting said optically transparent lens in order to cause a focal point of the lens to be positioned behind said light emitting device, wherein a zone of substantially uniform illumination is projected at said known distance. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080291687 | Optical filter assembly and method - A filter assembly includes a mounting element for receiving and mounting on a forward portion of a headlight, and a central opening, and a frame rotatably coupled to the mounting element, the frame having an optical filter for selectively blocking wavelengths below a first limit from the optical path between the source and the output. The frame is rotatable between a closed position in which the filter substantially covers the central opening of the mounting element, and an open position in which the central opening of the mounting element is substantially open. Both the mounting element and the frame have a central axis through their respective openings, which axis is substantially the central axis of light being emitted from a headlight when the filter assembly is mounted on a headlight. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090219717 | Illumination device - Disclosed is an illumination device for projecting a substantially uniform light at a remote distance. The illumination device comprises a mounting assembly divided into a plurality of sections, each section comprising a plurality of light emitting sources arranged substantially equidistant along a circumference of the assembly to project a light substantially perpendicular to the assembly, an contact plate connected via a central axis with, and fixed to, the mounting assembly, the contact plate providing an electrical contact to each of the light emitting devices, a plurality of lensing assemblies equal in number to the plurality of sections axially aligned with the mounting assembly, the lensing assembly aligned with a select one of the light emitting sources in a corresponding section, the light emitting source being positioned in front of a focal point of the lensing assembly, each lensing assembly comprising at least one optically transparent lens determining the lensing assembly focal point wherein the lensing assembly is oriented at a known angle with regard to the light projected from the light source, and means for shifting the contact plate and mounting assembly to align a select one of said light emitting devices with a corresponding lensing assembly. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090268458 | Illumination device - Disclosed is an illumination device for projecting a substantially uniform light at a remote distance. The illumination device comprises a mounting assembly divided into a plurality of sections, each section comprising a plurality of light emitting sources arranged substantially equi-distant along a circumference of said assembly at an angle to project a light image at the remote distance, an contact plate connected via a central axis with, and fixed to, the mounting assembly, the contact plate providing an electrical contact to each of the light emitting devices, a plurality of lensing assemblies equal in number to plurality of sections axially aligned with the mounting assembly, the lensing assembly aligned with a select one of the light emitting sources in a corresponding section, the light emitting source being positioned in front of a focal point of the lensing assembly, each lensing assembly comprising at least one optically transparent lens determining said lensing assembly focal point, and means for shifting said contact plate and mounting assembly to align a select one of said light emitting devices with a corresponding lensing assembly. In another aspect of the invention, the lens assemblies may be positioned linearly and light emitting sources are positioned along an edge of the mounting assemblies, wherein the LEDs are positioned in front of the lensing assemblies by shifting each of the mounting assemblies. | 10-29-2009 |
