Patent CA-2770722-A1 (CA)
Title: Vapor-tight lighting fixture
Inventor: EDWARDS RICHARD D
IPC: F21K99/00
Filed: 2012-03-05
Abstract: This invention provides a vapor-tight luminaire that maintains a moisture-proof, sealed lower housing for the light-producing lamps (fluorescent lights, LED  arrays, etc.) while isolating the electronic components in a separate, upper housing that is spaced apart from, and largely thermally isolated from, the lamps. The lamp housing comprises a unitary non-penetrated tubular lens with one or more removable end caps, sealed by gaskets. The lamp assembly is slidably mounted within the lower housing so that it is readily removable and replaceable with another assembly of the same or different type. The electronics in the upper housing is readily accessible and replaceable by removing a top cover that encloses a three sided channel member. The upper housing is metal and desirably enhances heat exchange with the environment. The two housings are held together by a pair of opposing end cap structures that include a housing end and a removable end cap. The housing end includes an upper plate that is fastened against an adjacent end of the upper housing's channel member. This compresses gaskets that stand between the respective ends of the lens and a lower ring on each housing end.  The electronics of the upper housing is interconnected via a wiring harness connector to an end connector in on the lamp assembly. The wiring harness passes between the two housings free of penetration of the lens.

IPC: G02C7/02
Filed: 2011-02-24
Abstract: An ocular implant alters iris color for medical and cosmetic purposes and is made of an inert, nontoxic, foldable and preferably permeable to fluid flow material. It is an annular non-planar structure that fits over the iris yet leaves the natural lens uncovered and extends approximately to the iridocorneal angle. Two different kinds of arc sections of a non-uniform thickness make up the structure: passage arc sections and support arc sections. The passage arc sections permit humor aqueous flow under the implant. The support arc sections make contact with the iris and provide the necessary support for the passage arc sections. Auricles extend from the support arc sections and are configured to hold the implant in place by engaging the eye at the iridocorneal angle. The implant may include an artificial lens, a limbal ring, and various means to anchor for the artificial lens.
