Patents by Inventor Johannes Segner

Johannes Segner 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).

  • Optical waveguide with a substantially planar substrate and process for its production
    Patent number: 5480687
    Abstract: An optical waveguide is disclosed with a substantially planar substrate and a waveguide layer applied to the substrate. The invention resides in that the substrate consists of a synthetic resin or of a material having a high organic proportion. This has the advantage that the high index of refraction of the inorganic waveguide layer is combined with the material properties of the synthetic resin substrate, such as, for example, breaking resistance, plastic and thermoplastic moldability, photochemical structuring ability, and others.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 7, 1995
    Date of Patent: January 2, 1996
    Assignees: Schott Glaswerke, Hoffmann-La Roche, A.G.
    Inventors: Martin Heming, Roland Hochhaus, Ralf Kersten, Dieter Krause, Jurgen Otto, Volker Paquet, Johannes Segner, Christof Fattinger
