| 20090185392 | DETACHABLE ILLUMINATION SYSTEM - Illumination devices utilized within detachable illumination systems include a light source including a substantially planar light-emitting surface and an optical rod or optical taper disposed proximate to the substantially planar light-emitting surface to optically couple the optical rod and the substantially planar light-emitting surface. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090190371 | MONOLITHIC ILLUMINATION DEVICE - A monolithic light engine includes a heat sink, a semiconductor light source (e.g., a light emitting diode, a plurality of semiconductor light sources), and a light conduit. The semiconductor light source includes a light-emitting top surface and a back surface thermally coupled to the heat sink. In some embodiments, the monolithic light engine includes a wavelength converter. The wavelength converter converts a first wavelength or range of wavelengths emitted from the light-emitting surface to a second wavelength or range of wavelength light. The light of the second wavelength range enters the light conduit and is transmitted along the length of the light conduit to illuminate an object placed at some distance away from the light source. The heat sink, light source, and the light conduit are mechanically, rigidly coupled (e.g., via one or more mechanical connectors) so as to form a monolithic light engine. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20090062589 | Metathesis Unit Pretreatment Process with Formation of Octene - Disclosed is a process for integrating a butene dimerization process with a metathesis process to remove isobutene from the feed stream to the metathesis reactor. The isobutene is preferentially dimerized in the dimerization process to leave n-butenes for metathesis with ethylene. An upstream selective hydrogenation process also isomerizes 1-butenes to 2-butenes which is the preferred butene reagent in the metathesis process. A common fractionator column for the dimerization and hydrogenation processes is also described. | 03-05-2009 |
