  • Patent number: 12019271
    Abstract: A fiber-to-fiber system for multi-layer ferroelectric on insulator waveguide devices is described. The system comprises a fiber-to-chip coupler that couples light from a standard optical fiber to multi-layer ferroelectric on insulator waveguides. The multi-layer ferroelectric on insulator waveguides are integrated with electrodes to implement an optical device, an electro-optical device, or a non-linear optical device, such as an electro-optical modulator, with microwave and optical waveguide crossings compatible with packaging. A second fiber-to-chip coupler outputs the light from the multi-layer ferroelectric on insulator device to a standard optical fiber.

  • Publication number: 20240199811
    Abstract: A polyamide-imide material comprises an amidophenyl-ethyl-imide moiety or alternatively an imidophenyl-ethyl-amide moiety as depicted in formulas (I) or (II) in the disclosure. The polyamide-imide material can have selected mechanical properties, such as a tensile modulus between at least 3.5 GPa and at least 7.8 GPa, a glass transition temperature between at least 180° C. and at least 305° C., an elongation at break of a film of the polyamide-imide material having a thickness of 25 micrometer (±5 micrometer) of not more than 15%, or a folding endurance of the film over a pin having a radius of 1 mm between at least 10,000 folds and at least 1,000,000 folds. The polyamide-imide film can have high transparency of visible light, a low yellow index, and a low haze.

  • Patent number: 11291779
    Abstract: An aerosolization device for providing aerosolized medicament to a user. The device has an aerosol generator at the base of a fluid receiving chamber. A top cover is provided over the top opening of the fluid receiving chamber, wherein the top cover defines a conduit opening which provides fluid access to the fluid receiving chamber. The top cover comprises a set of spokes which extend outwardly from the conduit opening and extend beyond the top opening thereby to seat the top cover over the outer housing. This top cover has a design which reduces the regions where liquid medication may become trapped.

  • Publication number: 20210228824
    Abstract: A wicking member and methods of use of the same are disclosed herein. The wicking member can be a component of a medication inhaler. The medication inhaler can include a reservoir bowl defining a reservoir wherein a volume of liquid can be received. The reservoir bowl can include a top, a bottom, and a wall extending from the top to the bottom of the reservoir bowl. The medication inhaler can further include a wicking member proximate to the wall. The wicking member can extend along the wall at least partially from the top of the reservoir bowl to the bottom of the reservoir bowl. The wicking member can wick liquid to the bottom of the reservoir bowl.

  • Patent number: 10418238
    Abstract: Amorphous silicon devices, systems, and related methods are described herein. An example method for fabricating a thin film with light-emitting or light-detecting capability can include depositing a thin film of amorphous silicon on a wafer such that crystalline defects are distributed throughout the thin film. Additionally, an example photonic device can include a p-doped region and an n-doped region formed on a wafer, and a resonator structure formed on the wafer. The resonator structure can be formed from amorphous silicon and can be arranged between the p-doped and n-doped regions to form a PIN junction. Optionally, the photonic device can be incorporated into a monolithic integrated optical system.
