In this paper secondary optics for an LED lamp with a narrow beam angle of 15° were optimized by using a two-reflector system, to reduce both its size and the occurrence of satellite rings. The conic constant and the curvature of the primary reflector were determined by considering the relation of the source size to the beam angle, and the optimal position and radius of the secondary reflector were found for reducing the occurrence of satellite rings. Luminous flux efficiency was about 80%.

We present the thermal analysis result of die bonding for a high power LED package using a metal hybrid silicone adhesive structure. The simulation structure consists of an LED chip, silicone die adhesive, package substrate, silicone-phosphor encapsulation, Al PCB and a heat-sink. As a result, we demonstrate that the heat generated from the chip is easily dissipated through the metal structure. The thermal resistance of the metal hybrid structure was 1.662 K/W. And the thermal resistance of the total package was 5.91 K/W. This result is comparable to the thermal resistance of a eutectic bonded LED package.

Optimum Designs of 2 Segment LED Reflectors for Various Light Output Distributions on the Surface of an LED Chip (Received September 21, 2012; Revised manuscript December 4, 2012; Accepted December 7, 2012) It is important to control the beam pattern of an LED by the design of a reflector. The optimum conditions of the structure parameters for the 2 segment LED reflector are analyzed and compared as they vary depending on the various intensity distributions of light output on the LED chip surface. It is also interesting that combining various types of reflectors is possible to give several efficient beam patterns, such as the maximum intensity profile or relatively wide controllability of beam angle.

In this paper, in order to enhance the image reconstruction performance of white light scanning interferometry(WLI), we demonstrate the scattered point noise filtering performance of post-processing methods. Median filtering is similar to using an averaging filter. Because the median value is less sensitive than the mean to extreme values, the median filter can remove the scattered point noise from a height-map without significantly reducing the sharpness of the image. In several specific cases, however, the median filter can't remove the scattered point noise. Therefore, we propose a comparative mean filter that uses order-statistic filtering and the mean of the neighborhood pixels. The performance is demonstrated by measuring an array of metal solder balls fabricated on PCB. The proposed method reduced the noise pixels by 4.4 percent.

Recent increasing demand on the indoor localization requires more advanced and hybrid technology. This paper proposes an application of the hybrid indoor localization method based on a position-coded pattern that can be used with other existing indoor localization techniques such as vision, beacon, or landmark technique. To reduce the pattern-recognition error rate, the error detection and correction algorithm was applied based on Hamming code. The indoor localization experiments based on the proposed algorithm were performed by using a QCIF-grade CMOS sensor and a position-coded pattern with an area of 1.7x1.7mm2 . The experiments have shown that the position recognition error ratio was less than 0.9 % with 0.4 mm localization accuracy. The results suggest that the proposed method could be feasibly applied for the localization of the indoor mobile service robots.
