  • Method of reducing electro-static discharge (ESD) from conductors on insulators
    Patent number: 7677462
    Abstract: A non-conductive carrier having a conductive component comprising a plurality of sections to disrupt the conductive component's conductive path. Each section is isolated from other sections such that a charge accumulated in one section cannot combine with the charge accumulated in another section, thereby minimizing any potential electrostatic discharge from the carrier.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 2006
    Date of Patent: March 16, 2010
    Assignee: JDS Uniphase Corporation

  • FLOW-THROUGH DRYER
    Publication number: 20070144030
    Abstract: A flow-through dryer for drying webs of material comprising a rotatable drying drum having a cylindrical drum face and section flanges on the drum ends that enclose an interior space. The drum face is configured as a series of spaced pleated vent plates mounted circumferentially about the outside of drying drum. The pleated vent plates are perforated to allow air flow into the interior space and have an outer edge that is adapted to support the web of material about the drying drum.
