Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an optical component including: a first lens element configured as a lens of a first lens type; and a second lens element configured as a lens of a second lens type, wherein the second lens element is formed on a first lens surface of the first lens element, such that the second lens element is fixedly coupled with the first lens element via a direct interface between the first lens surface of the first lens element and a second lens surface of the second lens element.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an optical element (200) comprising: a lens element (202) configured to implement a lens function, wherein the lens element (202) comprises an epoxy material; and an additional epoxy layer (204) disposed on an optical surface (208) of the lens element (202), wherein the additional epoxy layer (204) includes anti-reflection structures (206) formed in the additional epoxy layer (204).

Abstract: A low cost, high performance inductive device for use in, e.g. electronic circuits is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, the device includes a two-legged magnetically permeable core optimized for fitting with one or more windings. Preferably, the device is also self-leaded, thereby simplifying its installation and mating to a parent device (e.g., PCB). In another embodiment, one or more low profile magnetically permeable cores are mounted on a surface of the self-leaded magnetically permeable core, preferably with a gap. In yet another embodiment, the aforementioned gap is obviated. In yet another embodiment, spacers are positioned on a surface of the self-leaded magnetically permeable core device to position the low profile magnetically permeable at a predetermined distance from the self-leaded magnetically permeable core. In yet another embodiment, a bead inductor is disclosed comprising a plurality of turns. Methods for manufacturing and utilizing the devices are also disclosed.
