Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090279194Ultraviolet infrared filter - A two-dimensional wedge shaped UV and IR filter is formed by or substantially same size pieces of glass forming a two-dimensional wedge. The wedge reflects radiation in four different directions.11-12-2009
20090309586Gobo Wheel Location Drive - A gobo wheel with automatic detection system that automatically detects a rotational position of the gobo. The rotational position can be detected by a magnetic marking system. Each of the gobos can be randomly placed within the holder. the position of the gobos can be automatically determined during a start up routine for example, and then those positions can be stored and used for later determination of a position.12-17-2009
20100296292Multiple Focus Point Light - A lamp unit with a relay lens that allows two different focus points. Two different optical altering elements are hence simultaneously in focus. The elements can be taken in and out of focus to allow different effects.11-25-2010
20110007511Optically Transmissive Patterned Devices Formed of Fused Silica - Optically transmissive patterned devices, such as gobos, formed on fused silica or more generally, on amorphous, non-crystalline substantially transparent silica containing structures. According to an embodiment, these are used with high power luminaires producing outputs greater than 1000 watts.01-13-2011
20110060477Gobo Wheel Location Drive - A gobo wheel with automatic detection system that automatically detects a rotational position of the gobo. The rotational position can be detected by a magnetic marking system. Each of the gobos can be randomly placed within the holder. The position of the gobos can be automatically determined during a start up routine for example, and then those positions can be stored and used for later determination of a position.03-10-2011

20090323345Layered Dimmer system - A layered dimmer formed of different layers. The front layer may be a scattering layer, and the back layer may be a reflective layer. The light beam is scattered prior to reflecting, to avoid reflection back to form hotspots.12-31-2009
20100002322Discrete CYM filter with hue and saturation changes - Discrete CYM filter has discrete filter elements that create a color set over a color range. The color range changes both hue and saturation between adjacent color filter elements, thus making the elements and their resultant colors, look more “interesting”.01-07-2010
20110164428Moving Light with Follow Spot - A luminaire that has multiple removable handles thereon, and can operate in multiple different modes, including a mode where a manual follow spot can occur. To operate in the manual follow spot mode, the luminaire is placed into a free moving mode in which it can be moved, and then the luminaire is moved using the removable handles to manually place the luminaire in a desired location. Then, the luminaire is commanded to remain in that desired location by turning on breaks or the like. In the manual movement mode, movement of the luminaire is manually controlled and not remotely controlled and all of at least color, gobo, beam size and other parameters are remotely controlled.07-07-2011

20080291561LIGHT COLORING SYSTEM - A rainbow wheel that colors light that is passed therethrough. The wheel can be formed using a photolithographic process. Another supermagenta wheel can be used to increase the number of colors that can be obtained.11-27-2008
20090316416Layered Dimmer System - A dimmer wheel which is formed to absorb large amounts of light and to disperse the light that is absorbed. The dimmer wheel has a bottom surface that is irregular, and a reflective material in that bottom surface to scatter the light. A light absorbing material also receives some of the light.12-24-2009
20090323032Method and apparatus for making a high resolution light pattern generator on a transparent substrate - A light pattern generator that can be used to form a gobo for use in a projection optical system. A transparent plate is coated with a stack that is absorptive and reflective. The stack is formed to be ablatable in the form of a pattern. The stack can have multiple different layers with multiple different characteristics, all of which are ablated by the laser.12-31-2009
20090323201Zoom Lens Assembly with Travel Sensor - Zoom lens assembly formed of a number of lens groups on a track. The lens groups can be moved on the track to form different lens effects such as zoom. The devices sense an end of travel in one direction using a hardware device. All the positions are relative to that end of travel, based on values stored in a memory, and by using the memory to drive the lens groups on the track.12-31-2009
20100002446XYZ control over bulb position in a pan and tilt lamp - Multiple axis control for a lamp inside a reflector. At least multiple axes of control are made without increasing a length of the optical axis.01-07-2010
