    Abstract: A method of making sub-micron low work function field emission tips without using photolithography. The method includes physical vapor deposition of randomly located discrete nuclei to form a discontinuous etch mask. In one embodiment an etch is applied to low work function material covered by randomly located nuclei to form emission tips in the low work function material. In another embodiment an etch is applied to base material covered by randomly located nuclei to form tips in the base material which are then coated with low work function material to form emission tips. Diamond is the preferred low work function material.

    Abstract: A superconducting wire which includes a base wire and at least a superconduction layer formed on the base wire. The superconduction layer may be formed by using a sputtering system for depositing a film of high temperature superconductor material on the base wire. The superconducting wire may further include an adhesion layer, a diffusion barrier layer and/or a protection layer. Several superconducting wires may be grouped together in a metal matrix to form a composite superconducting wire.

    Abstract: An improved coating for optical fibers is described. The present invention is a dimensionally precise and uniform coating with low-porosity. The improved coating is applied via sputtering within a vacuum chamber. Environmental conditions are monitored within a cylindrical magnetron during sputtering. Sputtering is adjusted or temporarily ceased when environmental conditions approach a damage threshold. Sputtered particles within a plasma cloud are dimensionally similar and adhere to an optical fiber in a volume efficient arrangement forming a more precise, denser, and more adherent coating. Embodiments of the present invention provide improved pull strength by compressively constraining the optical fiber within the coating and by closing microcracks.

    Abstract: A device for testing flat panel displays includes an interface having compliant bumps mounted thereon, which make electrical contact with pads on the display panel. The interface may have a hole formed therein for allowing the passage of light therethrough when the interface is mounted on the display panel. The compliant bumps ensure that all of the bumps make sufficient electrical contact with the pads.
