Patents by Inventor Albert John Golko

Albert John Golko has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Power efficient organic light emitting diode display
    Patent number: 9087801
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of a solid background layer in conjunction with a transparent display panel. In one such implementation, a layer that is switchable between opaque and transparent states is provided between the solid background layer and the transparent display panel. By switching the switchable layer between opaque and transparent states, visibility of the background layer through the transparent display panel may be controlled.
    Type: Grant

  • Cleanable and self-cleaning fiber optic connector
    Patent number: 8393802
    Abstract: An optical connector having a body with an outer surface, a first cavity extending within the body from the outer surface and a second cavity spaced apart from the first cavity and extending within the body of the connector from the outer surface. An optical component is positioned within the first cavity and an ejector, which extents into the second cavity, is coupled to the optical component. A biasing mechanism is operatively coupled to apply a biasing force to the ejector to secure the optical component within the first cavity. When a force greater than the biasing force is applied to the ejector within the second cavity, the ejector ejects the optical component from the first cavity so that it extends beyond the outer surface.
