Patent number: 5301418Abstract: A method of manufacturing one or more magnetic heads starts from a substrate (11) on which a first magnetic layer (13) is provided. A recess (15) is formed in this layer at the location of a transducing gap to be formed, after which a gap layer (19) is provided on a bounding wall (17) of the recess. Subsequently, the recess is filled with a second magnetic layer (23) and a counterblock (31) is provided on the layers after surface-polishing. Finally, a winding aperture is provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1992Date of Patent: April 12, 1994Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Franciscus W. A. Dirne, Adrianus P. Severijns, Jacobus B. Giesbers, Jacobus J. M. Ruigrok

Patent number: 4986620Abstract: A passive fiber optic component, in which two or more fibers are each bared at one end by removal of the outer coating of the fiber. The bare portions of the fibers are etched to produce cylindrical end portion which adjoins a conical portion. Subsequently, the fibers are arranged with their etched portions in a capillary tube which is sealed at one end. The tube is then evacuated and is fused with the etched portions of the fibers to form a solid rod with a rotationally symmetric distribution of the end portions of the fibers. The fibers are etched to such a diameter that after fusion of the fibers with the tube, the fused fiber ends have a circular cross-section substantially equal to the cross-section of a single fiber core. An end face is formed on the rod by cleaving or by grinding, and by polishing to obtain a fused fiber head. The fiber head forms a fiber optic component itself, or forms a basic element for a great number of fiber optic components such as splitters and couplers.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 1987Date of Patent: January 22, 1991Assignee: U.S. Philips Corp.Inventors: Adrianus P. Severijns, Petrus J. W. Severin, Cornelus H. M. Van Bommel

Patent number: 4757427Abstract: The irradiation device comprises a short arc discharge lamp, in which a pair of electrodes are arranged, between which a discharge path extends. An optical conductor is sealed with its first end into the wall of the lamp vessel in such a manner that its light entrance window is arranged laterally of the discharge path and is directed to the discharge path.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1986Date of Patent: July 12, 1988Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Franciscus M. P. Oostvogels, Charles C. E. Meulemans, Adrianus P. Severijns, Petrus J. W. Severin

Patent number: 4737215Abstract: A predetermined number of optical fibre parts (27) is provided on a rectangular frame (1), the fibre parts extending parallel to each other along a straight line between two opposite first sides (3) of the frame. These first sides (3) comprise comb-shaped fibre guides (5) with teeth (13), between which the fibre parts (27) are guided so that the fibre guides determine a first relative distance between the fibre parts. The first sides (3) are pivotably connected to the two second sides (7) of the frame (1), which is then deformed to a parallelogram until the portions of the fibre parts (27) located inside the frame have a predetermined second relative distance. A permanent connection between the fibre parts (27) is established so that a ribbon of fibre parts is obtained. A number of such ribbons can be stacked with the interposition of strip-shaped spacers (29) to form a bundle.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1986Date of Patent: April 12, 1988Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Jacobus Stoffels, Adrianus P. Severijns

Patent number: 4733930Abstract: To a carrier (1, 1') there is cemented a bar of a material (3, 3'), for example glass or a ceramic material, which is subsequently divided, using cuts (7, 7') which extend transversely of its longitudinal direction, into a number of slices (9, 9') which are separately cemented to the carrier. Each slice (9, 9') is provided with a groove (13, 13') which extends parallel to the cuts (7, 7'). The grooves (13, 13') are curved and have a center of curvature which is situated at the side of the bar (3, 3') which faces the carrier (1, 1'). In the grooves (13, 13') there are secured optical fibres (19, 19') which follow the curvature of the groove, after which a side portion of the fibres which is situated furthest from the carrier (1, 1') is ground off. A flat ground face (21, 21') is thus formed one each fibre (19, 19'). Such ground fibres (19, 19') are arranged so that their ground faces contact one another in order to form directional couplers, after which the slices (9, 9') are detached from the carrier (1, 1').Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1986Date of Patent: March 29, 1988Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Petrus J.

Patent number: 4297856Abstract: A .sup.3 He-.sup.4 He dilution refrigerator comprises an upper mixing chamber for mixing liquid concentrated .sup.3 He and superfluid .sup.4 He, and a lower segregating chamber for separating concentrated .sup.3 He and superfluid .sup.4 He. An auxiliary chamber is situated between the mixing chamber and the segregating chamber. A connecting duct extends between the segregating chamber and the auxiliary chamber. The upper part of the auxiliary chamber communicates with the upper part of the mixing chamber for flow of concentrated .sup.3 He into the latter; and the lower part of the auxiliary chamber communicates with the lower part of the mixing chamber for flow of dilute .sup.3 He to the lower part of the auxiliary chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1980Date of Patent: November 3, 1981Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Frans A. Staas, Willem van Haeringen, Adrianus P. Severijns

Patent number: 4136531Abstract: A .sup.3 He-.sup.4 He dilution refrigerator is provided with two interconnected mixing chambers arranged at different levels. One end of a superleak opens into concentrated .sup.3 He contained in the upper mixing chamber, while the other end opens into a portion of the apparatus containing dilute .sup.3 He for the supply of superfluid .sup.4 He, via the superleak, to the upper mixing chamber under the influence of the osmotic differential pressure prevailing across the superleak.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1977Date of Patent: January 30, 1979Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Frans A.
