Abstract: A glass article having a low level of grainy appearance that can appear to have a shift in the pattern of the grains with changing viewing angle of a display, or “sparkle.” The glass article—which, in some embodiments, is a transparent glass sheet—has small-angle-scattering properties and/or distinctness-of-reflected-image (DOI), leading to improved viewability in display applications, especially under high ambient lighting conditions. In some embodiments, the antiglare surface of the glass sheet is an etched surface, with no foreign coating present on the antiglare surface.

Abstract: A radial cell ceramic honeycomb structure is provided that is particularly adapted for use as a catalytic carrier or a particulate filter in an automotive or diesel exhaust system. The honeycomb structure includes a network of interconnected webs having a central axis. The network of webs includes radial webs of varying lengths, only some of which substantially extend the entire radial length of the network, and tangential webs that intersect to define rings of gas-conducting radial cells, and a rounded outer skin that surrounds the cells formed by the interconnected webs. The radial webs extending to the periphery of the network join an inner edge of the outer skin in a substantially orthogonal orientation to reduce thermally generated stresses and to increase strength of the resulting structure. The number of radial webs in the network changes along the radial length at transition zones that are defined by one of the tangential webs such that a desired cell density is achieved across the network.

Abstract: Optical systems of the present invention generally include an optical signal controller disposed along an optical link between two optical nodes. The optical signal controller is configured to provide a monitoring signal from an optical signal passing between the nodes as a plurality of wavelength sub-bands at least one of which includes a plurality of signal channels. The controller generates a compensating channel having an optical power that is a function of the monitoring signal power in the plurality of wavelength sub-bands or total power. The compensating channel is combined with the optical signal to compensate for power variations in the optical signal passing between the nodes. In addition, the compensating channels can be used to transmit communication or system supervisory information between monitoring points and/or nodes in the system.

Abstract: A method of forming an extrusion die comprises depositing at least one layer of a sinterable material, such as binder-free sinterable material, in a plane creating a layer of unsintered material, applying irradiation to the at least one layer of unsintered material along a pattern creating a layer of centered material, and forming the extrusion die as a single, integrally-formed piece by repeating the depositing and irradiating steps in a coordinate direction that is substantially orthogonal to the plane, wherein a new layer is superposed upon a previously sintered layer. The extrusion die formed via this method includes an inlet section having a die inlet face and a plurality of feed channels extending from the inlet face toward a honeycomb-forming section that is spaced from the inlet face and terminates in a die outlet face that includes an array of discharge channels formed from pins. Dies having at least two of the pins coupled to one another by a structural element other than at the pin root may be manufactured by the method.
