A flip chip light emitting diode die (10, 10′, 10″) includes a light-transmissive substrate (12, 12′, 12″) and semiconductor layers (14, 14′, 14″) that are selectively patterned to define a device mesa (30, 30′, 30″). A reflective electrode (34, 34′, 34″) is disposed on the device mesa (30, 30′, 30″). The reflective electrode (34, 34′, 34″) includes a light-transmissive insulating grid (42, 42′, 60, 80) disposed over the device mesa (30, 30′, 30″), an ohmic material (44, 44′, 44″, 62) disposed at openings of the insulating grid (42, 42′, 60, 80) and making ohmic contact with the device mesa (30, 30′, 30″), and an electrically conductive reflective film (46, 46′, 46″) disposed over the insulating grid (42, 42′, 60, 80) and the ohmic material (44, 44′, 44″, 62). The electrically conductive reflective film (46, 46′, 46″) electrically communicates with the ohmic material (44, 44′, 44″, 62).

The illuminator includes a housing having thereon a transparent work supporting stage overlying an opening formed in the top of the housing. A plurality of light sources in the housing emit an array of spaced, parallel light beams through a like plurality of collimating lenses which collimate each of the beams emitted by the sources. The collimated light beams pass through a light transmissive diffuser which is interposed in the housing between its opening and the collimating lenses, which homogenizes the collimated light beams produced by said lenses. The homogenized light then passes through the housing opening, either directly or via one or more reflective surfaces, onto a workpiece located on the stage. In certain embodiments the collimated light beams pass through a beamsplitter before passage through the diffuser.
摘要:
A liquid containment system for an ocean-going vessel. The liquid containment system includes a tank having converging upper walls. The converging upper walls of the tank contain a substantial portion of the liquid therebetween and reduce the free surface area associated with the liquid. The upper converging walls of the tank extend above the horizontal deck of the vessel, but still allow sufficient deck space for supporting various required equipment. In one embodiment, the liquid containment system is a prismatic membrane tank designed to receive and hold liquefied natural gas (LNG).

A light emitting device comprised of a light emitting diode on a mounting surface, the light emitting diode includes a substrate layer and at least one active region. A resilient substantially transparent and substantially phosphor free polymer layer extends from the mounting surface to above at least one quarter of a height of the substrate layer but below a top surface of the light emitting diode. A second phosphor containing layer extends from the phosphor free polymer layer to above the top surface of the light emitting diode.

Optoelectronic devices are provided that incorporate quantum dots as the electroluminescent layer in an inorganic wide-bandgap heterostructure. The quantum dots serve as the optically active component of the device and, in multilayer quantum dot embodiments, facilitate nanoscale epitaxial lateral overgrowth (NELOG) in heterostructures having non-lattice matched substrates. The quantum dots in such devices will be electrically pumped and exhibit electroluminescence, as opposed to being optically pumped and exhibiting photoluminescence. There is no inherent “Stokes loss” in electroluminescence thus the devices of the present invention have potentially higher efficiency than optically pumped quantum dot devices. Devices resulting from the present invention are capable of providing deep green visible light, as well as, any other color in the visible spectrum, including white light by blending different sizes and compositions of the dots and controlling manufacturing processes.
摘要:
Apparatus for stripping ceramic coatings from the surfaces of articles. The apparatus includes a dedicated pressure vessel, such as an autoclave, which is maintained at an elevated temperature. Caustic solution is preheated to a first elevated temperature before injecting it into the autoclave, and the caustic solution is filtered and cooled after use in the autoclave. The articles are stripped of coating by maintaining the articles at an elevated temperature and pressure for a predetermined time. Various options include the use of analytical equipment to maintain the chemistry of the caustic solution and use of a volatile organic solution to prepressurize the autoclave and shorten cycle time. The autoclave is maintained in a nitrogen chamber to minimize the risks associated with volatile components. The articles are transferred to a separate pressure vessel after completion of the stripping operation so that the autoclave used for stripping can be maintained at an elevated temperature, thereby shortening the cycle time for stripping of additional articles.
