  • Couplers including a waveguide core with integrated airgaps
    Patent number: 11768337
    Abstract: Structures for a coupler and methods of forming a structure for a coupler. A structure for a directional coupler may include a first waveguide core having one or more first airgaps and a second waveguide core including one or more second airgaps. The one or more second airgaps are positioned in the second waveguide core adjacent to the one or more first airgaps in the first waveguide core. A structure for an edge coupler is also provided in which the waveguide core of the edge coupler includes one or more airgaps.

  • Kit for illuminating a room
    Patent number: 10342098
    Abstract: A kit for illuminating a room includes a two-part contact switch mounted on a top edge of an interior surface of the door and a door rail contact mounted on a door track railing where the corresponding top edge rests when the door is completely opened. The door contact switch and the door rail contact switch are electrically connected to the light strip and a power source via a power adapter, respectively. When the door is completely opened, a contact plate of the door rail contact switch receives a plurality of spring-loaded contacts protruding from the door contact switch that completes a circuit, powers the light strip, in turn, illuminating the room.
