摘要:
An ultra-thin polarizing glass article having two polarizing glass layers separated by a non-polarizing central region. The polarizing glass layers contain stretched or elongated metal particles and the non-polarizing central region contains elongated or stretched metal halide particle. The polarizing article has a thickness less than 200 micrometers.

A method for making a polarizing glass article is provided. The method includes first providing a precursor glass containing metal-halide particles. The precursor glass may be encased in a gas-permeable medium. Then, form at least a first polarizing layer and a non-polarizing region in the precursor glass. Bond the polarizing layer to a substrate and removing the non-polarizing region to expose the polarizing layer. Then, separate the first polarizing layer from the substrate to produce an ultra-thin polarizing glass article measuring less than or equal to about 200 μm in thickness. The method may further comprise cutting the polarizing layer into wafers.

A method for fabricating an integrated optical isolator includes depositing a wire grid material on a magneto-optical substrate and depositing a resist film on the wire grid material. The method further includes bringing a mold with a wire grid pattern on contact with the resist film and compressing the mold and resist film together so as to emboss the wire grid pattern in the resist film. The method further includes transferring the wire grid pattern in the resist film to the wire grid material on the magneto-optical substrate by etching.

A reflective polarzier for visible light wavelengths formed of a plurality of polarizer units. Each polarizer unit having a transparent, inorganic substrate with first and second opposing surfaces. The first surface is coated with a single layer of a dielectric material, and the second surface is coated with a layer of a highly reflective metal film or a dielectric material. The polarizer is configured to produce a “quasi-straight path,” such that a light ray exiting the substrate is substantially parallel with a corresponding, incident light ray entering the substrate. The polarizer exhibits polarization over the entire visible spectrum.

A process for making a plurality of vertically integrated optical components including providing a holding device with a plurality of holes, providing a polarizing glass having two polarization layers separated by a non-polarizing region, providing a plurality of optical fibers insulated by ferrules, inserting the fibers into the device, bonding the polarizing glass to the fibers and holding device, removing one of the polarization layers and the non-polarizing region to expose the other polarization layer thus forming an ultrathin polarizing glass, slicing the ultrathin glass at the ferrules to form a plurality of polarizer devices, separating the polarizing devices from the surrounding ultrathin glass to form a plurality of vertically integrated optical components, and removing the components from the holding device.
摘要:
An infuser comprises a container, at least one substance bounded by the container, honey in a semi-solid state bounded by the container, and a sealing substance. The container comprises a flexible material with pores. The sealing substance comprises dried honey, is disposed in the pores of the material, and has a higher melting point than the honey in a semi-solid state. The container and sealing substance are configured to resist substantial movement of the honey in a semi-solid state and the at least one substance through the pores of the material until the sealing substance reaches a temperature above the melting point of the honey in a semi-solid state.

Moving and/or still image(s) are aligned to multiple display devices. One or more display devices may be connected to a system using a variety of communicative connections. One or more imaging devices may be used to capture images of a plurality of display devices while the display devices display one or more unique identifiers. The captured image(s) are processed to determine the location of one or more of the connected display devices. Portions of an overall image may be distributed to one or more of the connected display devices to display the overall image across the display device(s). Location information for one or more display devices may be updated periodically, which may update the portion of an image displayed on one or more connected display devices.

A visual copyright protection system is disclosed, including input content, a disruption processor, and output content. The disruption processor inserts disruptive content to the input content creating output content that impedes the ability of optical recording devices to make useful copies of output content.

Control systems including control circuitry and optional communications systems for operating a sliding power-operated member of an automotive vehicle. A powered sliding door in an automotive vehicle, such as a van, moves along a predetermined path of travel between a closed position and a fully open position relative to the body of the vehicle. Such a sliding door may be provided with one or more electrically-operated actuators for performing functions associated with the door, such as power opening and closing the door, power unlatching the door, power locking and unlocking the door, and power clamping and unclamping the door in a soft or low-momentum manner. The invention is directed toward improved control systems and circuitry for operating such power-sliding door systems. One such control system employs a wireless communications link between the door and body, which is preferably implemented using radio frequency communication signals containing digitally encoded control signals. Control circuitry is preferably provided in the body and the door of the vehicle for supervising and carrying out the foregoing functions in an orderly manner in response to requests generated locally at the door or remotely by the driver from the console of the vehicle. A second, simpler, control system provides electrically-actuated mechanisms for unlatching the door and operating the door lock without the use of either a wireless communication system or a retractable electrical cable interconnecting the sliding door to the vehicle body.

A glazing device, and a method for using such device to apply a surface glaze to a dental construct, are disclosed. The device comprises glazing material associated with a shrinkable, hollow carrier. The method comprises associating glazing material with a hollow carrier composed of a shrinkable and removable material, assembling the construct and carrier with the construct positioned within the carrier, shrinking the carrier onto the construct, removing the carrier, and maturing the material to a glaze. The device and method find particular application in applying coloration, either uniformly or in a pattern, to a dental construct.
