  • Patent number: 7251036
    Abstract: A combiner for optical beams includes a substrate overlaid by a multi-layer dielectric film stack. The substrate is a clear material and the dielectric film stack is a series of alternating layer of high and low refractive index. This gives the combiner relatively high reflectivity across UV wavelengths and relatively high transmissivity in the visible and longer wavelengths and allows visible light to pass through the combiner while UV light is reflected. At the same time dielectric film stack has minimal absorption and scatter. This means that the intensity of visible light maintains at least 90% of its intensity as it passes through combiner and UV light retains at least 90% of its intensity as it is reflected by combiner.

  • Publication number: 20070121104
    Abstract: A first method for fabricating low-noise optical components for use in optical metrology systems includes shaping a glass substrate to obtain a desire shape and then coating the glass substrate with a reflective coating. A second method includes shaping a glass master die to a desired shape and then using the glass master to form a glass substrate to the desire shape. A third method includes diamond turning a substrate to a desired shape and then polishing the substrate to meet two surface conditions which in turn ensures that the scattered light is minimized and the metrology instruments performance is greatly increased. These conditions relate to a measurement of encircled energy compared to an ideal diffraction limited component of the same focal length and diameter.

  • Publication number: 20060257616
    Abstract: A carpet constructed from a biodegradable nonwoven face layer and a backing layer that is biodegradable and/or recyclable. The face layer comprises a needle-punched nonwoven web formed from a blend of different fiber types each of which is biodegradable, the blend comprising face fibers having a relatively high decomposition temperature and thermally activatable binder fibers having a thermal activation temperature lower than the decomposition temperature of the face fibers. The binder fibers bind to one another and to the face fibers. The face fibers can comprise one or more types of fibers that are biodegradable. Suitable fiber types include but are not limited to wool, hemp, cotton, polylactic acid, jute, flax, kanaf, sisal, rayon, and silk. The binder fibers in some embodiments of the invention comprise low-melt polylactic acid.

  • Publication number: 20060225796
    Abstract: A device includes a housing that has a plurality of monolithically formed walls, wherein selected walls are provided with inlet and outlet ports respectively. The housing includes a coupling in fluid communication with the inlet and outlet ports, a mechanism for detecting a fluctuation in water pressure, and a mechanism for selectively prohibiting water flow. The prohibiting mechanism cooperates with the detecting mechanism. The housing also includes a mechanism for providing an audible notification when the water supply is toggled between interrupted and reinstated modes and a mechanism for manually controlling the prohibiting mechanism. The manually controlling mechanism is electrically coupled to the prohibiting mechanism. An internal power supply source supplies power to the detecting mechanism, the prohibiting mechanism, and the manually controlling mechanism. A diode is attached to the housing and is illuminable when the power supply source reaches a minimum threshold level.

  • Publication number: 20060026945
    Abstract: A process for making a high-strength spun yarn begins by feeding one or more tows of substantially uncrimped continuous filaments of high-modulus material having a tensile modulus exceeding about 20×106 psi through a high-speed stretch-breaking apparatus operating at low total draft ratio (preferably about 2.0) to break the filaments into high-modulus staple fibers having an average length in the range of about 5 to 6 inches. The tows advantageously are heavy, for example, having a denier of about 25,000 to about 500,000. Following the stretch-breaking step, the staple fibers are collected in sliver cans, and the staple fibers are advanced from the sliver cans to a spinning machine, where the fibers are spun into yarn. An important aspect of the invention is that no intermediate processes are performed between the stretch-breaking and spinning processes, which minimizes disruption of the alignment of and damage to the staple fibers.

  • Publication number: 20050270524
    Abstract: An optical filter for the selective attenuation of specific wavelengths of light includes at least one spectrally dispersive element, such as a diffraction grating or prism, in combination with an optical filter. A dispersive element separates broadband light into a constituent wavelength spread in angle space. An optical filter, or filter array, can block and/or attenuate specific wavelengths or wavelength ranges of interest while the light is angularly dispersed. A second dispersive element can recombine this filtered, separated wavelength fan of light into a coaxial broadband beam having a smoother intensity profile than the unfiltered beam.

  • Publication number: 20050108717
    Abstract: A dynamic workload management system enables system administrators to easily identify installed applications and to assign them to affinity groupings in order of importance to the enterprise and to enable the system administrators to save and restore multiple configurations. The workload configuration is continually updated based on the hardware utilization measurements of the application groups that make up a workload configuration. The software interface of the system of the invention permits the system to dynamically add and remove processors to and from affinity masks that are automatically set up. This feature of the invention allows the application groups to consume CPU resources according to their priority.
