Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and method for deploying a fiber optic network. Distribution devices are used to index fibers within the system to ensure that live fibers are provided at output locations throughout the system. In an example, fibers can be indexed in multiple directions within the system. In an example, spare ports can be providing in a forward direction and reverse direction ports can also be provided.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a radiation-emitting component, a radiation-responsive component, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the electronic device includes a substrate and a first structure overlying the substrate. The electronic device also includes a second structure that includes a first layer, wherein the first layer has a first refractive index, and the first layer includes a first edge. The electronic device further includes a second layer overlying at least portions of the first structure and the second structure at the first edge. The second layer has a second refractive index that is lower than the first refractive index. In another embodiment, the first structure includes a layer having a perimeter and a pattern lying within the perimeter. The pattern extends at least partly though the first layer to define an opening with a first edge. In another embodiment, a process is used to form the electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device can include a substrate, a lid, a getter material adhered to at least a portion of at least one surface of the electronic device, wherein the portion of the surface will be an interior surface of the electronic device, and a sealing material adhered to at least a portion of the substrate and a portion of the lid. The sealing material includes a spacer material. A method for sealing the electronic device includes includes attaching the substrate and the lid in an inert atmosphere under an absolute pressure of less than 760 torr wherein the sealing material contacts both the substrate and the lid, and raising the pressure on the exterior of the device to ambient pressure.

Abstract: A method for sealing an electronic device includes providing an electronic device on a substrate, providing a lid, activating a getter material in an environment substantially free of contaminants, applying a sealing material to at least a portion of the lid, and attaching the substrate and the lid in an inert environment. The time elapsed between activating the getter material and attaching the substrate and the lid is less than 20 minutes. A sealing assembly for an electronic device includes an activation tool for activating a getter material, a dispensing tool for dispensing a sealing material, and an encapsulation tool for sealing the electronic device. The sealing assembly is in an environment substantially free of contaminants.

Abstract: A non-pixellated segmented display is disclosed. The display comprises a first electrode having a first pattern, an insulator layer having a second pattern, an electroluminescent layer, and a second unpatterned electrode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of adhering a getter material to a surface, wherein the getter is used to remove and control contaminant gases in the environment surrounding the active layers in an electronic device. The getter material is applied from a getter composition comprising getter particles, inorganic binders and a liquid medium to create a composition of a consistency that can be deposited on the surface in any pattern and in any thickness desired. The surface on which the getter composition is deposited can be heated separately from the electronic device so as to activate the getter material and cause the particles to adhere to the surface without the need of additional adhesive layers or other materials.
