Patent number: 7873249Abstract: A fiber optic cable includes an optical fiber, a strength layer surrounding the optical fiber, and a jacket assembly surrounding the strength layer. The jacket assembly includes a foam. A method for manufacturing a fiber optic cable includes mixing a base material, a chemical foaming agent and a shrinkage reduction material into a mixture in an extruder. The mixture is heated so that the base material and the chemical foaming agent form a foam with shrinkage reduction material embedded into the foam. An optical fiber and strength layer are fed into a crosshead. The mixture is extruded around the optical fiber and the strength layer to form a jacket assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2009Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Wayne M. Kachmar, Kenneth Christopher Nardone, Ronald J. Kleckowski

Patent number: 7441278Abstract: A convertible body armor and carrying bag includes a first panel and a second panel. Each panel has body armor material incorporated therein. A pair of shoulder straps is provided, each having a first end secured to the first panel adjacent a first edge of the first panel, and a second end secured to the second panel adjacent a first edge of the second panel, with the shoulder straps spaced apart from each other by a space that corresponds to the distance between an adult human being's shoulders. A removable attachment mechanism removably attaches the peripheries of the panels in a manner such that the panels and the attachment mechanism together define an interior storage space when the attachment mechanism attaches the peripheries of the panels, and the panels can be worn as a body vest with the shoulder straps supported on an adult human being's shoulders when the attachment mechanism does not attach the peripheries of the panels. A weapon can be stored inside the interior storage space.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2006Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Inventor: Kenneth Christopher Blakeley

Patent number: 6858357Abstract: An attenuating embedded phase shift photomask blank that produces a phase shift of the transmitted light is formed with an optically translucent film made of metal, silicon, nitrogen or metal, silicon, nitrogen and oxygen. A wide range of optical transmission (0.001% up to 20% at 193 nm) is obtained by this process. A post deposition process is implemented to obtain the desired properties (stability of optical properties with respect to laser irradiation and acid treatment) for use in industry. A special fabrication process for the sputter target is implemented to lower the defects of the film.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2003Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Marie Angelopoulos, Katherina E.
