摘要:
An optical fiber connector pair is provided, which includes a plug assembly and a receptacle. An optical connection can be repeatedly made and broken by insertion and withdrawal, repectively, of the plug assembly relative to the receptacle. The final alignment of the mating fiber ends is provided by a pair of silicon blocks, each having a guiding groove formed in one surface. One block is included in the receptacle, and the other block is included in the plug assembly. One fiber end is affixed in each groove. The act of inserting the plug assembly in the receptacle brings the grooved surfaces together such that each fiber is captured by the opposing groove.
摘要:
Paints and coatings involving semiconducting pigments such as titanium dioxide generally degrade because of oxidation of the binder by reactants that are photochemically produced on the pigment surface, and because of direct binder oxidation by charges that are photogenerated in the pigment. In titanium dioxide, this interaction is substantially reduced by avoiding reduced species and by introducing into the titanium dioxide trap states where photogenerated electron-hole pairs recombine by processes such as prolonged milling. Through these expedients, a substantial increase in the stability of the pigment containing composition is obtained.
