A light source includes LED dies that are flip-chip mounted on a flexible plastic substrate. The LED dies are attached to the substrate using an asymmetric conductor material with deformable conducting particles sandwiched between surface mount contacts on the LED dies and traces on the substrate. A diffusively reflective material containing light scattering particles is used instead of expensive reflective cups to reflect light upwards that is emitted sideways from the LED dies. The diffusively reflective material is dispensed over the top surface of the substrate and contacts the side surfaces of the dies. The light scattering particles are spheres of titanium dioxide suspended in silicone. The light source is manufactured in a reel-to-reel process in which the asymmetric conductor material and the diffusively reflective material are cured simultaneously. A silicone layer of molded lenses including phosphor particles is also added over the mounted LED dies in the reel-to-reel process.

A layer of Highly Reflective (HR) material is deposited by jetting microdots of the HR material in liquid form onto a substrate and then allowing the HR material to harden. In one example, the HR layer is the HR layer of a white LED assembly. The HR layer is jetted onto the substrate around LED dice of the assembly after die attach and wire bonding have been completed. The HR material can be made to flow laterally so that areas of the substrate under wire bonds are coated with HR material, so that HR material contacts side edges of the LED dice, and so that HR material contacts the inside side edge of a retaining ring. By jetting the HR material in this way, the amount of substrate that is not covered with HR material is reduced, thereby improving the light efficiency of the resulting LED assembly.

Systems and methods are provided for positioning and stabilizing an external instrument during insertion of the instrument through the oral cavity (e.g., insertion of a catheter through the oral cavity and into the esophagus or cardia for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)). The systems and methods provide a gripping tool for association with a bite block, capable of selectively moving between an open position in which the instrument may be inserted or removed, and a closed position in which the external instrument is held in a fixed position.

A method of fabricating a substrate free light emitting diode (LED), includes arranging LED dies on a tape to form an LED wafer assembly, molding an encapsulation structure over at least one of the LED dies on a first side of the LED wafer assembly, removing the tape, forming a dielectric layer on a second side of the LED wafer assembly, forming an oversized contact region on the dielectric layer to form a virtual LED wafer assembly, and singulating the virtual LED wafer assembly into predetermined regions including at least one LED. The tape can be a carrier tape or a saw tape. Several LED dies can also be electrically coupled before the virtual LED wafer assembly is singulated into predetermined regions including at the electrically coupled LED dies.

Standardized photon building blocks are packaged in molded interconnect structures to form a variety of LED array products. No electrical conductors pass between the top and bottom surfaces of the substrate upon which LED dies are mounted. Microdots of highly reflective material are jetted onto the top surface. Landing pads on the top surface of the substrate are attached to contact pads disposed on the underside of a lip of the interconnect structure. In a solder reflow process, the photon building blocks self-align within the interconnect structure. Conductors in the interconnect structure are electrically coupled to the LED dies in the photon building blocks through the contact pads and landing pads. Compression molding is used to form lenses over the LED dies and leaves a flash layer of silicone covering the landing pads. The flash layer laterally above the landing pads is removed by blasting particles at the flash layer.

Systems and methods for treating a tissue region employ an expandable structure projecting beyond the distal end of a catheter tube. A distal tail projects beyond the far end of the basket assembly. The distal tail includes a guidewire lumen that accommodates passage of a guidewire without threading the guidewire through the catheter tube.

摘要:
A light source and method for fabricating the same are disclosed. The light source includes a die, a light conversion component, and a scattering ring. The die emits light of a first wavelength through a top surface of the die and one or more side surfaces of the die, and is bonded to a mounting substrate. The light conversion component converts light of the first wavelength to light of a second wavelength, the light conversion component having a bottom surface bonded to the top surface of the die. The light conversion component has lateral dimensions such that a space exists around the die, the space being bounded by the substrate and the light conversion component. The scattering ring is positioned in the space such that a portion of the light emitted from the side surfaces of the die is scattered into the light conversion component.
