The present invention relates an acoustical insulation material for sound attenuation containing a nonwoven web. Surprisingly, it has been discovered that an acoustical insulation material made from a nonwoven web of thermoplastic fibers having an average fiber diameter of less than about 7 microns, wherein the acoustical insulation has a thickness less than about 3 mm and a density of greater than about 50 kg/m³ is effective as a sound insulation material. The acoustical insulation is very effective as an acoustical insulation material, despite the low thickness and high density of the acoustical insulation. A method of attenuating sound waves passing from a sound source area to a second area using the acoustical insulation material is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing the light emitting component of a VECSEL and the corresponding VECSEL. In the method a layer stack (2) is epitaxially grown on a semiconductor substrate (1). The layer stack comprises an active region (4), an upper distributed Bragg reflector (5) and a n- or p-doped current injection layer (13) arranged between the active region (4) and the semiconductor substrate (1). A mechanical support (6) or submount is bonded to an upper side of the layer stack (2) and the semiconductor substrate (1) is subsequently removed. A metallization layer (7) is optionally deposited on the lower side of the layer stack (2) and an optically transparent substrate (8) is bonded to this lower side. The proposed method allows the manufacturing of such a component in a standard manner and results in a VECSEL with a homogenous current injection and high efficiency of heat dissipation.

A heat sink adapted for cooling a heat generating component, operative with an air moving means to generate airflow and remove the generated heat. The heat sink comprises a heat conducting element in thermal contact with the heat generating component, which is also in thermal contact with a plurality of fins having through fin-perforations defining free airflow passages and heat paths so as to spread the generated heat through the perforated fins. The structural configuration and relative spatial disposition of the perforated fins form airflow directing elements for the generated airflow, which flows via an air inlet and through inflow and outflow air passages which are in fluid communication via the fin-perforations, such that the airflow directing elements at least partially block the generated airflow, thus substantially directing all of it to flow via each of the fin-perforations, thereby developing cross-flow only once through the fin-perforations so as to exit via the air outlet.

A process is described in which, through the combination of certain components, a thermal insulated coating paint is obtained having the properties of flexibility and lightness (low density) in a film of low thickness. This coating paint offers better thermal insulation properties with a low thickness film than other insulators having greater thickness, without requiring any additional protection. These properties are provided due to the internal structure of the coating paint wherein internal caverns are formed by the reaction of ramified chain polymers and additional materials. These characteristics are not present in traditional coating paints.
