Title: Reflectors, reflector/led combinations, and lamps having the same
Inventor: KLIPSTEIN DONALD L
IPC: F21V7/04
Filed: 2007-02-13
Abstract: A concave reflector can form a more uniform beam of light. The light source can be an LED with a nominally lambertian radiation pattern. LED can be high power requiri ng heatsink. Light reflected by reflector and light exiting without hitting reflector can form coinciding beams of essentially same size. Matching of sizes of reflected and unreflected components can be achieved in part by having a tangent at a rim parallel to axis of reflector. For some LEDs hot spot in center of beam is reduced by curvature becoming increasingly sharp when approaching along reflective curve a critical radius at which tangent to reflector curve in plane containing axis of reflector has angle near 45 degrees with respect to axis of reflector. Reflector can be used in, for example, work lights, desk lamps, accent lights, headlamps, and flashlights. Lamps can have multiple reflectors with one LED for each reflector.

Title: Dual hydraulic machine transmission
Inventor: GLEASMAN KEITH E
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2006-06-15
Abstract: The modular transmission uses only a pair of small and light hydraulic machines of remarkably improved volumetric efficiency with pistons having body portions substantially as long as the axial length of the respective cylinders in which they reciprocate. The two hydraulic machines operate in a closed loop, one being used as a pump driven by the vehicle's engine, and the other used as a motor. Each machine has a fully articulatable swash plate. By computer control, the angles of the swash plates of the two machines are infinitely varied to provide an appropriate optimum ratio of engine/wheel speed for all conditions from start-up, city driving, hill climbing varied according to load and steepness, and over-drive for highway. This complete vehicle operation is attained while the vehicle's engine continues to operate at relatively constant speeds and relatively low RPM.
