Introduction
Raymond E. Foran is a notable inventor based in Philadelphia, PA, with a focus on advancements in semiconductor technology and lighting solutions. He holds three patents that showcase his innovative contributions to the field.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Video Bond Lead Locator." This invention utilizes an image processing system and method to determine the position of lead frame beams on a semiconductor lead frame before wire bonds are formed. The system illuminates the lead frame beams with a light source, detects the reflected light, and generates digital data that is stored in memory. This data is analyzed to accurately define the position of the lead frame beams while distinguishing the reflected light from the beams themselves from that of surrounding materials.
Another significant patent is the "Cluster Mount for High Intensity LEDs." This invention provides a light-concentrating cluster mount designed for super bright light-emitting diodes. The cluster mount features multiple LED receivers, each with a focus axis that is strategically displaced from the central axis. This design ensures that both side light and frontal light emitted from the LEDs are refocused onto the area to be illuminated at a predetermined distance from the cluster mount.
