Winston lawyer concerned by talk
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The lawyer for Florida State's Jameis Winston criticized State Attorney Willie Meggs on Sunday for his public comments about the ongoing sexual assault investigation tied to the Seminoles' quarterback and for how the prosecutor has handled the probe.
Tim Jansen released a statement expressing concerns that Meggs has made "extrajudicial statements" about the investigation during media interviews. Jansen accused Meggs of addressing a confidential law enforcement investigation ...

Iran, Key Nations Wrap Up 'Substantive' Nuclear Discussion
Iran and six governments said they held "substantive and detailed discussions" on all elements of a possible nuclear deal, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Still, "intensive work will be required to overcome [remaining] differences," Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton added in shared remarks issued on Wednesday, as they ended a two-day multilateral atomic meeting.
Ashton, who represents the five permanent U.N. Security Council member nations and Germany, said the sides would meet again on May 13.
On Tuesday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said his country's negotiators had "narrowed" their differences with counterparts from China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States, Agence France-Presse reports. He did not elaborate on specific developments in the talks, aimed at striking a deal to eliminate international sanctions on Iran if the Persian Gulf power accepts long-term limits on its atomic activities.
Amid reports of possible progress in a dispute over Iran's unfinished heavy-water reactor, Araqchi stressed that his country would only consider certain moves to assuage fears that the site could generate bomb-usable plutonium, Reuters reported. Tehran insists the Arak reactor and its other atomic assets have strictly peaceful aims, but that contention faces skepticism in Washington and European capitals.
"Arak will remain [a] heavy-water reactor ... but there are technical ways to decrease concerns over its activities," he said.
The Iranian diplomat added that his country "will not stop or suspend its uranium enrichment work under any circumstances."
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Iran is now situated to produce enough fuel for a nuclear weapon in two months, AFP reported.

The Riff Rocker pitch was intriguing: a cheap little USB guitar peripheral that actually ships with the open-source Guitar Hero clone Frets on Fire. Pretty cool — except the $20 peripheral is really just not a good piece of equipment and worth, at most, a buck or two. The controller is two small to easily hold in two hands and the narrow neck makes the fret buttons difficult to strike. It doesn't feel anything like playing a standard-sized guitar peripheral at all — let alone a guitar. The tiny little rocker switch that serves as a strum bar is difficult to flip back and forth. The cord is only about three feet long, which means you'll have to be seated right next to your computer. At that distance, why not just use a keyboard? Consider Frets on Fire ships with only a couple of songs — let's face it, it's really designed to be used with copyright-violating packs of pop songs with fret patterns programmed by fans — there's really nothing much left to a Riff Rocker owner except frustration and a desire to play with a full-sized (miniature) controller.

frets on fire crashes every time i try and run it.
ah well.
Dig out your old Commodore 64 and go with Shredz64 instead. Retro!!!
awh man, don't ever do that again
I didn't know Adam Savage (MythBusters) had such a wee little …. guitar.
@yer maw: The Mac release is experimental and, as far as my experience goes, has a 20% change to run on your mac (totally random).
I've been playing the game almost since it's release, and I'm still addicted to it (I still play for about an hour each day).
And the only reason I could think of to plug a "real" controller into my PC is so I could more easily switch between Frets on Fire and Guitar Hero/Rock Band. But so far I've been playing wonderfully on my wireless keyboard (it lags a couple of msec, but you can make up for that in the Settings).
A tip for anyone who's looking to play Frets on Fire:
Download Puppetz "PuppetHero" song packs, they're one of the best out there. (was that illegal?)
For 20USD, you can get yourself a USB keyboard and one of those toy guitars from a dollar-store, and make a better version of this (some soldering required).
i believe that photo is of joel, in the style of Waking Life – and excellent.
its full of fabulous fail!
this whole genre of stuff makes me wonder about humanity cuz its not not that hard to learn to play a guitar
I like ze picture; What filters / tools / blah were used to make it?
I haven't had any problems with it cramping my hands although i can see in Joel's pic that it appears that the device would. I spend a lot of time on the road and the Riff-Rocker is so easy to throw into my computer bag for some quick entertainment on the go. I am actually planning on buying a few as cheap gifts for my niece and newphew.

1999 Buick Century Q&A
1999 Buick Century Question: ac not working
no air I checked the fuses they are fine but getting no electricty to the clutch - cschad37
Answer 1
Air conditioning is difficult to trouble shoot with out a wiring diagram, theory of operation, component locator and pressure gauges. If the fuses are all OK, jump the compressor see if it operates. If the system is low in refrigerant to protect itself from damage there is a low pressure switch in the system that prevents the entire system from working. There is also a company that independent auto repair shops buy their information from that the same information inexpensively to do it yourselfers. The information is year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online - patrick mannion

Richard Sterne cruised to his first European Tour title in more than four years, winning the Joburg Open by seven shots on Sunday. Sterne shot a bogey-free 64 to finish with a tournament record total of 27 under at the Royal Johannesburg & Kensington golf course and win by the largest margin in tournament history. ''That was probably the best final round of my career,'' Sterne said. ''It was quite special to finish the way I did.'' Fellow overnight leader Trevor Fisher Jr. faltered on the final day, allowing Sterne to finish well clear of Charl Schwartzel (66) in second. Fisher eagled the first but sank to a 1-over 73 that dropped him to joint sixth, despite sitting five shots clear of the field with Sterne at the start of the final round.

Apparently, the only thing iffier than a football in Brett Favre's hands during the playoffs is a retirement decision in his head.
The good thing is his American Hamlet act is now playing at theaters throughout Minnesota, and none east of the border.
You wanted him so badly over there? Now you have to deal with everything that comes with the entire Brett Favre package, postseason malfunctions and career vacillations included.
That's part of it, my horned friends to the northwest. Along with 4,000 yards passing and the occasional daytrip to Lourdes, there are maintenance costs associated with managing a whole new winter season. Along with Timberwolves basketball and Twins hot stove, you've now got the Favre Watch, and let me tell you, it isn't cheap.
We're so glad it's your problem now. Two whole football off-seasons without the related No. 4 clutter can be very liberating. Eventually, you'll see.
Over here, we only have two comparatively trivial pieces of business to attend to, if and when your television salesman cashes his last purple-inked check.
Actually, make that one.
When will the prodigal son be allowed to come home to have his number put up on the Lambeau facade? A lot of people around here are still plenty sore at him for sticking it to the Packers with his boorish Vikings fixation, but people around here also tend to forgive and forget at a rate higher than the national average.
So let's make it one year for each game he beat the Packers this season, which would allow the Green Bay retirement ceremony to coincide with the expiration of the Mayan calendar. Sounds like good timing.
And if Favre happens to honor his contract and play a second season with the Vikings, apply the same terms. If the Packers sweep next year, the door immediately swings open.
I'm guessing he's coming back, for all the usual reasons. Beyond the truth of Darren Sharper's testimony that Favre has 13 million reasons to return, he was undeniably great this season. There, I admitted it. If he can still play like he did at age 40, why not? He doesn't need another Super Bowl ring to verify his place in history. He's pretty much set as one of the top five or six quarterbacks ever.
Even Favre's history of playoff failure doesn't tarnish that legacy. But if we're going to bring that up, we might as well get around to the second piece of business we weren't going to raise, mostly because the answer has become so self-evident.
Were the Packers worse for not having Favre these last two seasons? Do you even have to ask anymore?
The simple answer is the Packers are much better off for allowing Aaron Rodgers to begin his career. They are so far ahead of the game with a 25-year-old quarterback with two years of experience that it's not even debatable. If you don't believe the NFL has completely become a young-ish quarterback's league, look at the Super Bowl entrants.
Besides, it's now clear the Packers wouldn't have made the '08 playoffs with an injured Favre or got to the Super Bowl this year with a Hall of Famer who forever seems destined to misfire when it matters most. Of course, they were better off without him.
But Favre got another shot, and good for him. He proved a lot of things, just not the Main Thing. And, sure, in the interim he could be a knucklehead like your teenage son, but eventually he's going to be our knucklehead again.
We'll leave a green light on for you because, truth be told, you never looked good in purple.

Once again we welcome our exhibitors to use our online entry system both through this website and www.horseshowing.com. Class counts will be available on both websites the day before each show and, in order to post accurate counts, we ask that all exhibitors pre-enter no later than 48 hours before the show starting time.
For the comfort and safety of our exhibitors and their horses during schooling, schooling in all competition and schooling rings will be carefully monitored. All riders will be asked to wear their back numbers and riders who have not entered the competition may not school.
We are in full gear preparing for a great 2015 season – readying the jumps and enhancements, ordering the ribbons and awards and prepping the equipment and rings. We look forward to sharing it with all and wish everyone Happy Showing!

Following their preseason win over the Browns RG3 promised Redskins fans that he intends to finally commit himself to learning how/when to slide.
Redskins Talk
While Johnny Football's finger became the biggest story of the Redskins-Browns game, another quarterback's play might raise the most red flags.
Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson says he's much more than just a deep threat.
During pregame introductions on Monday night in Landover, a group of Redskins led by defensive back Brandon Meriweather showed solidarity with protesters in Ferguson, Mo. Watch here.
A national TV audience saw that the Redskins have a lot of work to do before they are ready for their season opener in less than three weeks.

Vacuum Cleaner Parts and Accessories: Find the Best For Your Cleaning System.
Cleaning homes is a task that most people dread. Busy schedules leave most of us with little or no time to clean homes on a daily basis. Vacuuming is a must at least once a week. Technology has revolutionized the types of vacuum cleaning systems being made available today, and they are now able to vacuum all the floors in your home and their parts and accessories also make it possible to dust and tidy furniture and other sections of your home. Again, the type of vacuum cleaning system and accessories you choose will depend on the pets and allergy prone members of your family. You might require parts such as HEPA filters to ensure that up to 99.97% of the allergens are kept at bay. Pollen and grass cutting seasons will require frequent vacuuming and probably require you to replace the parts of your vacuum cleaner including belts, bags, fans, switches, hoses and much more.

Be it vacuum bags, vacuum filters, vacuum hoses, vacuum cleaner parts and other accessories, we stock a huge selection and even let you find the perfect accessory for you based on brand, price, etc. You can match the parts you need using our detailed parts diagrams.

"Our 5 day visit to Stunning River Retreat was amazing! This is the most well equipped, well stocked home we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in several. The weather was truly beautiful but there was a downside...we spent all our time outside with all the "toys" provided that we didn't get around to all the inside "toys". The accommodations are spacious, well appointed and most comfortable. I LOVED the kitchen....no need to bring anything other than your food. There is every item needed or wanted for preparing and cooking. Who has two tables in their kitchen that will seat 14? This house does. And the upper deck....incredible. And the lower deck, incredible. This is truly a family friendly home with plenty to do for adults and kids of all ages. Our two year old granddaughter loved every moment! As we all did. The owners have gone above and beyond the norm to make this home a standout in the Northern Neck area."Guest: jeanb Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 16, 2015View listing
"We had a wonderful summer family vacation here. Everything the owner describes is true to form. The house was well-appointed, clean and in good working order. We really enjoyed swimming and playing on the beach. They provide many toys for young children to enjoy outside. We are already planning our return trip. Thank you very much to the owners for sharing their beautiful home."Guest: Lydia R. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 2, 2014View listing
"We loved our vacation from the moment we pulled in and saw the cute flip flop wreath hanging on the front door! This house has everything you could need to enjoy a relaxing vacation! Beautiful home inside and out! We spent most of our time at the beach up until Thursday when the jellyfish came in! 5 out of 6 kids got stung by jellyfish. But that didn't stop us from having a good time! Please if you plan to swim bring water shoes as we found several large pieces of glass out in the water. We enjoyed getting up early to watch the sunrise and watching the sunset in the evening! It's almost magical it's so pretty! The kids enjoyed the sand area and boat up in the yard. They played all day long and slept like rocks at night! We took a few trips to Chitter Chats Ice Cream during our stay!! YUM!! We met a neighbor from 2 doors down and he was such a nice guy. He showed us the secret to opening blue crab! He also gave us a great recipe for crab cakes. We can't wait to go back!! Just might have found our new yearly get away!"Guest: Stephanie P. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 11, 2014View listing
"We loved this place and will be planning to go back to this lovely place. Bill was always willing to assist and help out. In particular my wife had a good friend that passed away, which hit on our scheduled dates for this place. Bill, however, made things perfect as he moved the dates back a few days at no extra to still allow us to have the family vacation we planned to. We appreciated that Bill was able to do this and it really made this vacation perfect for us! The weather was perfect and we enjoyed swinging on the private beach pretty much the entire time we were there. There is nothing like swimming in the ocean while you have a few beers as well! :) We will be planning a yearly trip to this place with our friends as we all had a blast. Thanks again Bill!"Guest: Brandon F. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 18, 2015View listing

This invention relates in general to an LED lighting module comprising an LED element, an electronic arrangement for driving the LED, and a heat sink. Furthermore, the invention relates to a lighting assembly comprising such an LED lighting module.
In recent years, interest in the use of LED light sources in place of traditional light sources has grown considerably due to well-known advantages of LED light sources when compared with traditional light sources. This applies particularly to the automobile industry, in which the traditional type of lamp used for automotive front and rear lighting devices will tend to be replaced by LED lighting modules. In particular for signalling functions, as in, for example, rear combination lamps (RCL) and in daytime running lights (DRL), it is expected that the traditional type of lamp will soon be replaced by LED lighting modules, since less light intensity is required for such signalling functions than in headlamps which must illuminate a greater area. However, even for signalling functions, considerable light intensity is required.
Estimations of the required light intensity and the necessary power to generate this light intensity indicate that the module dissipates about 3 to 5 Watt. Because of the required power, an LED device used in an automotive lighting application must be capable of operating at elevated ambient temperatures. For example, the maximum ambient temperature is approximately 85� C. for rear lighting applications and 105� C. for a front lighting application. On the other hand, the maximum junction temperature of LED devices is currently limited to 135� C. In addition, the light output of LEDs (in particular AlInGaP-based LED emitting in the red and amber spectral range) strongly decreases with increasing junction temperature. A further problem is that in order to achieve the required optical performance of an LED lighting module, in particular in complex shaped reflectors, light guides, TIR (total internal reflection) optics and the like, a precise positioning and referencing of the LED light source relative to the secondary optics is required. Due to these requirements, currently known LED lighting modules, for example as shown in EP 1353120 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,637,921, are rather complicated assemblies. As a consequence, the assembly during production process is complicated and expensive. In particular, connecting and positioning the LED to the electronic driver or to a connector by lead wires requires manual handling resulting in variations in quality of the final product. Another important consideration is that LED lighting modules, intended to replace the usual type of lamp, should not be more expensive to manufacture than those lamps.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an LED lighting module that is simple and economical to manufacture, and for which a correct positioning of the LED-element to a secondary optic is automatically achieved in assembly.
To this end, the present invention provides an LED lighting module comprising an LED element, an electronic arrangement for driving the LED, and a heat sink,
which heat sink forms a casing for the electronic driving arrangement and comprises
The specially shaped heat sink according to the invention, with its receptacle and first reference elements, allows the LED element to be automatically mounted correctly on the heat sink. The dedicated shape of the receptacle allows the LED element to be connected to the electronic driving arrangement, and serves therefore as an interface between the LED element and the electronic driving arrangement. Therefore, in the following the receptacle is also referred to as "interface". The LED element can be a type of so-called "packaged LED", in which a light-emitting diode (LED) is attached to a small carrier element that is equipped with contacts for electrically connecting the LED, usually in the form of small metal legs or leads. Owing to the positioning of the electronic driving arrangement, or at least parts of the electronic driving arrangement, that are to be electrically connected to the LED, in the heat sink, a fixed orientation or positioning of the electronic driving arrangement with respect to the heat sink, and therefore also to the LED, is also automatically defined, allowing uncomplicated connection of the LED and electronic driving arrangement. Furthermore, by means of the second reference elements also integrated in the heat sink, the correct positioning of the LED lighting module, and therefore also of the LED element, within the secondary optic is also guaranteed. Also, placement of the electronic driving arrangement in the heat sink has the further advantage that the entire LED lighting module can be very compact, whilst the heat sink, preferably made of metal in one piece since it is the casing for the electronic driving arrangement, has a large surface area and that the generated heat can therefore very easily be dissipated. Because of the compact construction, the LED lighting module can easily be used in existing lighting assembles originally intended for use with the usual type of lamp such as halogen lamp or gas-discharge lamp. It is only necessary to ensure that the interface between the LED lighting module, in particular the second reference elements and maybe also any existing attaching means of the LED lighting module, are complementary to the existing light assembly in which the LED lighting module is to be used.
The dependent claims and the subsequent description disclose particularly advantageous embodiments and features of the invention.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the LED lighting module comprises only a single LED element, which is particularly preferably placed centrally on the front side of the heat sink. However, it is conceivable that multiple LED elements are arranged, for example as a group, on the front side of the heat sink. In the following, without narrowing the scope of the invention in any way, reference is made to the single LED case.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the LED element is mounted directly onto the heat sink. The term "directly" means that only a thermal conductive tape, thermal conductive glue or similar is used to mount the LED element onto the heat sink. This direct mounting of the LED element to the metallic heat sink ensures optimal thermal management of the total module.
The cavity for enclosing the electronic driving arrangement can be at any suitable location on the heat sink. Preferably however, the cavity is located on the rear side, opposite to the front side, of the heat sink. Such an arrangement allows a particularly straightforward assembly of the LED lighting module.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the LED lighting module comprises a rear cover to cover the cavity enclosing the electronic driving arrangement. The cover is preferably of plastic, which can be, for example, economically injection-moulded. The rear cover is preferably rigidly mounted on the heat sink element. The rear plastic cover may be most preferably mounted on the heat sink by a combination of clamping and, for example a snap fastening, or mounted by hot stamping or a similar mounting technique in order to optimise the mechanical stability of the module. Furthermore, the rear cover is preferably sealed to the heat sink element by a sealing ring. In this way, the cavity, which encloses the electronic driving arrangement, is effectively protected from contamination by loose particles and from the intrusion of moisture.
In order to optimise even further the assembly process, the electronic driving arrangement is preferably attached to the rear cover. For example, the electronic components of the electronic driving arrangement may be mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) which is, in turn, attached to the rear cover.
Advantageously, the rear cover comprises a connector for electrically connecting the LED lighting module to a power supply, e.g. an on-board power supply network of a car. This has the advantage that the LED lighting module need not be fitted with external leads or suchlike, which might easily be damaged during assembly.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the LED-Element is electrically connected with the electronic driving arrangement by lead elements protruding from the cavity through the heat sink wall to the front side of the heat sink. These might be, for example, rod-shaped lead elements.
In a preferred variation of this embodiment, the rear cover comprises rigid contact elements for electrically connecting the electronic arrangement with the LED-Element. In this variation, when assembling the LED module, the lead elements of the electronic driving arrangement are automatically electrically contacted by means of these rigid contact elements, to the contact leads of the LED element.
In a further preferred variation, the rear cover comprises at least one rigid support element which mechanically supports lead elements between the LED element and the electronic driving arrangement when the rear cover is assembled with the heat sink. In this way, the normally relatively weak lead elements and the LED connecting elements are mechanically relaxed and not stressed during temperature cycling and vibration stress. Here also, the rigid support element is arranged to that, when mounting the heat sink element to the rear cover, the lead elements, which may for example be relatively weak or flexible rod-shaped elements which are already soldered to the PCB of the electronic driving arrangement and protrude upwards to the heat sink, are automatically supported.
As already described above, the connection between the heat sink and the rear plastic cover should be completely rigid and stable, in order to ensure a high level of mechanical stability of the entire module.
The first and second reference elements can be realised in different ways, depending on the manner of construction of the LED element or the secondary optic and its interface to the LED lighting module.
Since LED elements, as described above, usually comprise a base with two legs for contacts, one on each side and pointing downwards from the LED, it is opportune to realise the first reference elements preferably in the form of notches of suitable dimensions on the interface between the LED element and the heat sink. The contact legs or leads of the LED lighting module can slide into these slits, so that minimal tolerances in connecting the LED to the heat sink can be met in an uncomplicated manner.
Preferably, the second reference elements comprise at least three reference protrusions, for example raised points or suchlike, positioned in a reference plane parallel to the front side or on a front plane of the heat sink. More preferably, exactly three protrusions are realised, which define exactly the reference plane.
The heat sink preferably also comprises mounting elements for mounting the LED lighting module to the secondary optics, for example, to a reflector housing of the lighting assembly. These mounting elements may be bayonet mounting elements, or elements that allow the LED lighting module to be screwed onto the secondary optic, etc.
The LED lighting module according to the invention can be utilised in basically any lighting assemblies. The lighting assembly according to the invention, comprising a LED lighting module according to the invention, is preferably an automotive front lighting assembly, in particular a daytime running light or an automotive rear lighting assembly, and particularly at least part of a rear combination lamp. In other words, this LED lighting module is preferably utilised for signalling purposes.
In the case of the preferred variant described above, in which the second reference elements comprise at least three reference protrusions, the lighting assembly according to the invention preferably comprises grooves corresponding to the second reference elements of the LED lighting module for referencing the LED lighting module in the reference plane.
Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed descriptions considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for the purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the invention.
In the drawings, like references denote the same elements throughout:
The dimensions of the objects in the figures have been chosen for the sake of clarity and do not necessarily reflect the actual absolute or relative dimensions.
Here, the driver electronic 30 is mounted on a PCB 32, as indicated in
A connector 41 in the form of a plug 41, integrated in the outer side of the plastic rear cover 40, serves to connect the LED lighting module 1 with the on-board electronics of an automobile. The connection from the contacts (not shown in the diagram) arranged in the plug 41 to the driver electronic 30 is made via contact pins 45, which are inserted into contact holes 35 drilled at the corresponding positions on the PCB 32, when the PCB 32 is mounted, with the aid of the centring pins 44 and the central rigid support element 42, in the corresponding position on the inside of the plastic rear cover 40. In addition, the contact pins 45 can be soldered to the driver electronic 30 at the contact holes 35.
Two contact leads 31 extend upward from the front side of the PCB 32, which, in its assembled state inside the heat sink 20, faces in the same direction as the front side of the heat sink 20. The contact leads 31 are formed in such a way that, when the PCB 32 is mounted on the inside of the plastic rear cover 40, these leads 31 reach the LED element 10 by grooves 43 in the rigid support element 42, and are thereby supported or braced by the rigid support element 42.
After mounting the PCB 32 and soldering to the contact pins 45, the plastic rear cover 40 can be inserted into the cavity 28 in the rear side of the heat sink 20. For this purpose, corresponding holes are found on the front side F of the heat sink 20 into which the centring pins 44 can be inserted. The heat sink 20 is made of metal, preferably manufactured as a die cast piece.
The interface 26 for the LED element 20 is located centrally on the front side F. The interface 26 comprises a cylinder 29 protruding centrally outwards from the front side F of the heat sink 20, with notches 27 on the outer edge as first reference elements, into which the contact leads 12 of the LED element can fit. The LED element 10 is a so-called packaged LED, in which the actual LED 11 is attached to a carrier 13, onto which in turn the contact leads 12 are attached, for connecting the LED 11 to a driving electronic.
On the cylinder 29 and below the notches 27, slits 29 a travel all the way into the front face of the heat sink. The uppermost surfaces of the central rigid support element 42 of the plastic rear cover 40 protrude through these slits 29 a when the plastic rear cover 40 is attached to the heat sink 20. The contact wires 31 positioned in the grooves 43 of the central rigid support element 42 are then automatically correctly placed with respect to the contact leads 12 of an LED element 10 positioned with the aid of the notches 27 in the interface 26.
As can be seen particularly in
Generating an electrical contact between the LED element 10 and the driver 30, after mounting the rear cover 40 to the heat sink 20, can easily be done in an automated manner by soldering the contact leads 12 with the ends of the contact wires 31. This electrical contact no longer has to be made manually. When mounting the plastic rear cover 40 and the heat sink 20, the centring pins 44, together with the openings 29 b in the front side F of the heat sink 20, ensure a correct and tight-fitting placement. The upper ends of the contact wires 31 from the PCB 32 and their contact to the contact leads 12 of the LED element 10 can best be seen in the cross-section through the LED lighting module shown in
As can be seen in
Thermal dissipation is achieved mainly by numerous cooling fins 25, directed radially outwards on the forward region (adjoining the front side F) of the heat sink 20. If more cooling is required, the heat sink 20 can easily be equipped with additional heat sink elements, for instance on the back of the heat sink 20. Equally, it is possible to make the heat sink element overall bigger, so that the cooling fins are not only confined to the frontal regions, but extend axially along the entire length of the heat sink. The cavity for insertion of the driver would then only be in the central region of the rear side of the heat sink.
As already described above, connection of the plastic rear cover 40 with the heat sink is achieved by a clamping, snap fit or hot stamp joining technique, or similar joining methods which ensure a very stable and lasting connection between the plastic rear cover 40 and the heat sink 20.
On the front face F of the heat sink 20, three connecting tabs 21 are arranged to face radially outward. These connecting tabs 21 serve to position and mount the entire LED lighting module 1 to the secondary optic of a lighting assembly. To ensure correct positioning, a raised nub or stud 22 is found on each connecting tab 21, to act as second reference element 22 or reference points 22. A reference plane P, parallel to a front plane of the LED lighting module 1, is defined with the aid of these three studs 22. The interaction of these reference points 22 with the secondary optic is illustrated with the aid of
Furthermore, a connecting hole 22 is to be found in each of the connecting tabs 21, by means of which the LED lighting module 1 can be attached or fastened to the lighting assembly or secondary optic, e.g. a reflector in which the LED lighting module 1 is inserted. In another assembly variation, the undersides of the connecting tabs 21 feature a slanted edge 24, so that the LED lighting module 1 can also be fastened in the manner of a bayonet fastening by screwing the LED lighting module in a clock-wise direction into complementary openings of the lighting assembly. The particular form of the connecting tabs 21 allows the LED lighting module to be used in lighting assemblies having different modes of attachment, and can of course also be used in lighting assembles featuring both kinds of attachment mode, i.e. both bayonet and connecting holes 23.
As can be seen particularly in
Furthermore, the interface 26 together with the contact leads 12 of the LED element 10 and the contact wires 31 protruding through the heat sink from behind, are protected in the assembled state by a protective cap 60 with a central opening 62, through which the front side of the LED element 10 protrudes. This protective cap 60 is placed from above on the otherwise finished LED lighting module 1, and fastened by means of snap-fit hooks 61 in the slits 29 a on the front side F of the heat sink 20. The protective cap 60 preferably has a reflective outer surface, so that it does not absorb light given off from the LED 11 and reflected by the reflector, when the LED lighting module 1 protrudes from behind through an opening in the reflector casing.
A plan view of the completely assembled LED lighting module 1 including the protective cap 60 and the gasket 50 is shown in
According to
Positioning within the reference plane PS, i.e. in the x and y directions, is achieved here by having the upper cylinder of the protective cap 60, which serves to shield the interface 26 of the heat sink 20 and the connection between LED element 10 and contact wires 31, exactly match the inlet opening 71 of the secondary optic 70.
According to the invention, a high-quality product with low failure rate is realised with a view towards automated industrial production. The assembly of the total LED lighting module is possible by sequential stacking of the individual parts above each other. Manual assembly is not required.
Although the present invention has been disclosed in the form of preferred embodiments and variations thereon, it will be understood that numerous additional modifications and variations could be made thereto without departing from the scope of the invention. Even though the LED lighting module is particularly suitable for use in automotive applications, it can be used for LED light sources for any lighting application, for example shop lighting purposes, various signalling purposes, etc.
For the sake of clarity, it is also to be understood that the use of "a" or "an" throughout this application does not exclude a plurality, and "comprising" does not exclude other steps or elements.

College Football Upset Alert: 10 Teams That Should Be Worried In Week 4
College Football: 10 Teams On Upset Alert In Week 4
In Week 3, the Akron Zips nearly pulled off the upset of the year by knocking off then No. 11 Michigan, a more than five-touchdown favorite, in the Big House. It took a last-second goal line stand by the winningest program in college football to hold off a team with three-straight one-win seasons that hasn't won a road game in nearly five years. The 28-24 result may have been the Wolverines' worst ever win, but at least it wasn't its worst upset defeat in history.
Not a week goes by in college football without an upset or two. You can always bet on a few good teams laying eggs and/or a few mediocre or bad teams rising up and playing beyond their known potential. Week 4 will be no different. The only question: Which teams should be on upset alert?
There are several teams coming off bad Week 3 results that could be a bit hungover and prone to losing to an inferior opponent. There's one team that's trying to overcome its historical stigma as a team that always finds a way to derail potentially great seasons. Another team is playing its first "real" game of the season, benefiting from an extremely lax schedule through three weeks. Still, other teams just flat out aren't playing that well or have off-field distractions that could result in a loss.
Let's find out which 10 teams are on upset alert in Week 4.
Scott Page is a college football writer for RantSports.com. Follow him on Twitter, Like him on Facebook or add him to your network on Google.
10. Nebraska Cornhuskers
Opponent: South Dakota State (3-0)
Reason to be concerned: Just pull one out of the hat. There's the distraction from the Bo Pelini tirade about Nebraska fans. There's the uncertainty of QB Taylor Martinez's health. Most troubling, however, is the complete absence of any defensive resistance by the Cornhuskers. Anybody can score on this team, even the Jackrabbits.
9. No. 20 Baylor Bears
Opponent: Louisiana-Monroe (2-1)
Reason to be concerned: Baylor is portraying the persona of a top-level team, but the Bears have been skating by with a complete lack of competition so far this season. Baylor has looked impressive through two games, but beating up on Wofford and Buffalo is nothing to brag about. La.-Monroe should be able to push the Bears a lot more than their first two opponents. We'll see how Baylor responds.
8. No. 3 Clemson Tigers
Opponent: North Carolina State (2-0)
Reason to be concerned: Historically, this is the game in which Clemson pulls a "Clemson" and loses as a heavy favorite to an unranked team. This Tigers team is undoubtedly good, and we keep hearing this year is different. We'll find out tonight.
7. No. 24 Wisconsin Badgers
Opponent: Purdue (1-2)
Reason to be concerned: Wisconsin might not have moved on from the bizarre, and controversial, ending to its 32-30 loss at Arizona State. The Boilermakers looked much better last week against Notre Dame and could come out and bury the Badgers while they're down.
6. No. 19 Florida Gators
Opponent: Tennessee (2-1)
Reason to be concerned: Have you seen the Florida offense play? Sure, Tennessee was spanked by 45 points at Oregon last week, but make no mistake, these Gators are no Ducks offensively. Expect the Vols to be a very motivated team this week, not only because of what happened last week, but because of the last eight years – each of which included a loss to Florida.
5. No. 6 LSU Tigers
Opponent: Auburn (3-0)
Reason to be concerned: Auburn is getting better each week, becoming a more well-rounded football team. The Tigers from Alabama showed last week against Mississippi State they can pass the ball pretty well if the rushing attack doesn't work. Though LSU is heavily favored, games between these two Tigers always seem to be close. You can bet Auburn will out for blood, considering it hasn't won in Death Valley this century.
4. No. 22 Notre Dame
Opponent: Michigan State (3-0)
Reason to be concerned: At this point, given what we've seen from Notre Dame, it's borderline to call this an upset. The Spartans' ineptitude offensively in two of three games and the fact the Irish are ranked and State is not are the only reasons to characterize it as such. Defensively, however, Michigan State is extremely physical and is not giving up much. The Irish could be in big trouble Saturday.
3. USC Trojans
Opponent: Utah State (2-1)
Reason to be concerned: Number one, Lane Kiffin is the head coach so anything (good or bad) is possible for the USC Trojans. Number two, Utah State QB Chuckie Keeton has thrown for more than 900 yards and 12 touchdowns through three games. He's very athletic and is leading an offense that averages more than 49 points a game. If last week's offensive outburst by the Trojans was just a one time thing and they go back to sludging around this week, the Aggies may put what could be the final nail in Kiffin's coffin (that has a nice ring to it, huh?).
2. No. 5 Stanford Cardinal
Opponent: No. 23 Arizona State (2-0)
Reason to be concerned: Both teams are ranked, so this wouldn't be a monumental upset. However, Stanford is one of the favorites to win the Pac 12 and compete for a BCS title, so a loss to anyone other than Oregon in the regular season would be an upset. The Cardinal didn't exactly dominate Army last week in a 34-20 win, while the Sun Devils are surging after their win over Wisconsin. Arizona State looks like its tough enough on both sides of the ball to take down Stanford in the conference opener for each.
1. Virginia Tech Hokies
Opponent: Marshall (2-1)
Reason to be concerned: Virginia Tech doesn't score very many points, but the Thundering Herd, well, does. The Hokies are 89th in scoring offense, while Marshall is 12th, averaging 46 points per game. The two are tied at 23rd in scoring defense, each allowing 16 points a game. If Virginia Tech hasn't found some answers offensively by Saturday, the Thundering Herd, led by athletic QB Rakeem Cato, could roll right over the Hokies.
