Abstract: ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR PARALLEL LABELING OF AN ARRAY OF CONNECTIONS A registration carrier assembly (300) that enables parallel tagging of a geometrically regular set of objects is described. The registration carrier assembly (300) includes a registration carrier (310) comprising a frame (311) surrounding a window (312) through the registration carrier, a first pressure sensitive adhesive coated on one side of the registration carrier (310) and a plurality of regularly spaced tags (100) distributed across the registration carrier and adhered to the registration carrier. Each of the tags includes a tab portion having a unique printed identifier, an anchor portion (120) to attach the tag to one of the objects of the geometrically regular set, and a tether portion connecting the tab portion to the anchor portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an integrated optical component array and method of making an integrated optical component array useful for projection devices or other optical devices. The integrated optical component array can be a PBS array fabricated such that the individual PBS cubes having several elements can be assembled in a massively parallel manner and then singulated as individual optical components, and can result in a large reduction in manufacturing cost.

Abstract: An identification tag is described that includes a tab portion having a unique identifier, an anchor portion, and a tether portion connecting the tab portion to the anchor portion. The anchor portion has a permanent pressure sensitive adhesive to secure the tag to one of a patch cable or a port disposed in a patch panel. In an exemplary aspect, the tag portion, anchor portion and the tether portion of the tag are formed as an integral structure. The unique identifier is a two-dimensional code, that is printed as an inverted image to provide improved network security and prevent reading of the unique identifiers by unapproved reading devices.

Abstract: Polarizing beam splitter plates and systems incorporating such beam splitter plates are described. The polarizing beam splitter plate includes a first substrate and a multilayer optical film reflective polarizer that is disposed on the first substrate. The polarizing beam splitter plate includes a first outermost major surface and an opposing second outermost major surface that makes an angle of less than about 20 degrees with the first outermost major surface. The polarizing beam splitter plate is adapted to reflect an imaged light received from an imager towards a viewer or screen with the reflected imaged light having an effective pixel resolution of less than 12 microns.

Abstract: Polarizing beam splitter is disclosed. The polarizing beam splitter includes a first polymeric prism, a second polymeric prism, a reflective polarizer that is disposed between and adhered to a hypotenuse of each of the first and second polymeric prisms, and a hardcoat that is disposed on each of the first and second polymeric prisms. The polarizing beam splitter includes an input major surface and an output major surface. At least one of the input and output major surfaces has a pencil hardness of at least 3H. The polarizing beam splitter has a low birefringence such that when polarized light having a first polarization state enters the optical element from the input major surface and travels through at least 2 mm of the polarizing beam splitter and exits the polarizing beam splitter from the output major surface, at least 95% of light exiting the polarizing beam splitter is polarized has the first polarization state.

Abstract: A system having a concealed communications element like a telecommunication antenna is described. More specifically, The system has a communications element that is concealed by a highly reflective multilayer polymer optical film 200. The first element of the multilayer polymer optical film is a core layer 202 that is made up of a multilayer optical stack. The multilayer optical stack of core layer 202 includes two alternating polymeric layers. The multilayer polymer optical film may optionally also include a protective layer 204 (for example, a hardcoat or an over laminate) that is positioned between the viewer and the core layer. The protective layer 204 may include one or more UV absorbers to aid in durability of the multilayer polymer optical film against UV-degradation. Multilayer polymer optical film 200 may optionally also include an adhesive layer 208 that is positioned between the core layer 202 and a surface onto which the multilayer polymer optical film is to be adhered.
