Abstract:
In summary, the present invention relates to a device, a system, a method and a computer program enabling a thermally improved packaging of a plurality of light emitting diodes (110, 112, 114) and at least one integrated circuit (116). A most temperature sensitive light emitting diode (110) of the plurality of light emitting diodes is located between less temperature sensitive light emitting diodes (112, 114) of the plurality of light emitting diodes and the at least one integrated circuit. Further, various additional measures such as e.g. varying at least one mounting area (102, 104, 106) of at least one light emitting diode, providing at least one thermal shielding (118), etc. can be taken in order to thermally optimize the packaging.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for making a global LED lamp (10) having a transparent globe (14) and a base (12) for connecting to a lamp socket. By wrapping the base (12) in expansive foam tape (38) of Compriband type or similar, prior to inserting it in a neck shaped portion (16) of the globe (14), automatic alignment of the base (12) in the globe neck (16) may be obtained. Further, soft metal strips (36) may be wrapped about the tape (38) prior to wrapping the tape (38) about the base (12). The tape (38) acts as an inflatable cushion, which presses the metal strips (36) towards the base (12) and the globe (14). Improved heat transfer between the globe (14) and the base (12) may thus be obtained.
Abstract:
A light emitting device, comprising a flexible substrate (2) with a single, structured conductive layer (5), and a plurality of LEDs (3) arranged on said substrate (2), said structured conductive layer (5) forming electrodes for driving said LEDs (3). The structured conductive layer comprises a plurality of heat dissipating pads (8), each having an area significantly larger than the area of each LED (3), and each LED (3 a) is thermally connected to at least one of said pads (8a), and electrically connected in series between two pads (8a, 8b). Through this design, each LED is thermally connected to a relatively large heat dissipating area, and the thermal energy built up in the LED will be distributed over this area, and then dissipated upwards and downwards from this area. As the addressing can be handled by a single conducting layer, the flexibility of the substrate is improved compared to multilayer substrates. By connecting each LED in series between two pads, a very large portion of the conducting layer can be used for the pads, and very little area needs to be occupied by conducting tracks, which otherwise may be a problem with single layer designs.

The integrated circuit system further comprises a third frame (9) thermally isolated from the first frame (6) and thermally connected to the second frame (8). A good thermal mutual isolation between the first device (2) and the second device (4) is achieved in the integrated circuit system (1).

Abstract:
Coil assemblies (2) of electric motors (1) produce heat that can be a disadvantage when needing the electric motor (1) for high precision positioning applications. To reduce the negative impact of the heat, the coils (26a, 26b, 26c) are arranged in an internally cooled housing (21). The housing (21) has an outermost layer (25) at least on the side lacing the magnet assembly (3) of the electric motor (1), the outermost layer (25) being made of low or non-electrically conductive, non-magnetic or nearly non-magnetic material. The outermost layer (25) prevents heat radiation to the environment.
