Patent number: 9735543Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for improving tolerances of in-plane optical alignment of optical interconnects. An example method includes depositing a first reflector with a first spectral reflectivity on an end of an optical fiber, coupling a laser to another end of the optical fiber, changing a spectral reflectivity of a region of the first reflector adjacent to the end of a core of the optical fiber from the first spectral reflectivity by exposure to the laser, resulting in a first reflector with multiple regions of spectral reflectivity, and coupling the first reflector to an integrated unit comprising an optical cavity deposited on a second reflector.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: EMPIRE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LLCInventor: Peter John Reece

Publication number: 20150357070Abstract: Examples are described related to nanostructures and assembling nanostructures. A fluid including nanostructures may be deposited onto a surface of a substrate. Optical beams may be directed towards a region of the surface of the substrate such that the optical beams overlap at a location within the region. Radiation pressure generated by the optical beams may effectively drive at least some of the nanostructures in the fluid towards the substrate. In this manner, the nanostructures may be assembled on the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Inventor: Peter John Reece

Publication number: 20080086875Abstract: Systems and methods for electrical component, e.g., brush, manufacture are provided that control grain orientation. The systems and methods utilize hot pressing techniques to enhance the properties and functionalities of the electrical components/brushes. An intermediate work product characterized by a grain orientation is initially formed through a conventional pressing technique. The conventionally-pressed intermediates are positioned within a cavity/die with the grain orientation in a predetermined orientation relative to the hot press force to be applied thereto. The hot pressed final product exhibits superior resistivity, strength and apparent density/durability. Surface features may be formed on the face(s) of the final work product during the hot pressing step that cannot be achieved in conventional processing techniques. Multi-layered assemblies are provided that may be cross-linked or inter-bonded along an interface therebetween. Advantageous articles of manufacture, e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2007Publication date: April 17, 2008Applicant: ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Shepard Hockaday, Candace Barefoot, George Goodson, Timothy King, Ray Matthews, John Reece, Jeffrey Smith, Pimol Vonkchalee
