  • Patent number: 6246123
    Abstract: A mold compound made from a polymer resin and an isorefringent, transparent filler is used to form optical electronic components (10, 20, 30). The mold compound can be used to form a lens (13) on a display device (10), to form the outer housing (21) of a waveguide (20), or to form a dome (34) that reflects light from a light emitting device (32) to a light detecting device (33).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 4, 1998
    Date of Patent: June 12, 2001
    Assignee: Motorola, Inc.
    Inventors: James F. Landers, Jr., Robert K. Denton, Jr.
  • Patent number: 6103398
    Abstract: An optoelectronic device (10) having an overfill material (30) that protects components of the optoelectronic device (10) and a method for assembling the optoelectronic device (10). The optoelectronic device (10) includes a support structure (16) on which an optoelectronic device (12) is mounted. In addition, the optoelectronic device includes a fiber ferrule (13) through which an optical fiber (39) extends. The optoelectronic device (12) and the optical fiber (14) are coated with an overfill material (30).

  • Patent number: 4992259
    Abstract: A stable and clear aqueous solution of zinc salt useful as a mouthrinse and a gel dentifrice. In a preferred embodiment the aqueous solution comprises zinc chloride codissolved with a complexing agent of sodium gluconate, in a naturally derived anionic polymer of sodium carboxymethylcellulose. This solution is advantageous because it maintains clarity and chemical stability in temperatures of from about 4.degree. to about 50.degree. C. and may be alcohol-free. The anionic polymer acts as a buffer to provide a solution with a pH in a desirable range of from about 5.7 to about 6.5, which limits astringency and tartness.

  • Patent number: 4781940
    Abstract: A filler for use in dental composites is made by the following process:(a) finely divided silica, such as fumed silica, is coated with a polymerizable monomeric material by (e.g., an acrylic monomer) by mixing the silica with an organic solvent solution of the monomer;(b) the solvent is removed by evaporation by any convenient means;(c) the coated silica particles are individualized, as by screening, to produce a powder of a predetermined particle size (e.g., 90 microns or smaller); and(d) the resin is then polymerized.Some individualization of the product of step (d) may be required. Light screening is usually sufficient.
