  • Patent number: 11590610
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ultrafast laser inscribed structures for signal concentration in focal plan arrays, focal plan arrays, imaging and/or sensing apparatuses comprising said focal plan arrays, as well as methods of making and/or using ultrafast laser inscribed structures for signal concentration in focal plan arrays, focal plan arrays, imaging and/or sensing apparatuses comprising said focal plan arrays. Such ultrafast laser inscribed structures are particularly adapted to condense broad band radiation, thus allowing increased sensing efficiencies to be obtained from imaging and/or sensing apparatuses. Such ultrafast laser inscribed structures can be efficiently produced by the processes provided herein.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7464984
    Abstract: The replacement grill fits the grill opening of an automobile, the grill having a surround, a mount shelf extended from the surround, and clips for joining the mount shelf to the auto. The grill is further comprised of a multi-layer, substantially porous insert with an outer layer of expanded material, preferably having diamond shaped openings. A center mesh divides the outer layer from a partial, non-porous reflective inner layer, the inner layer having a defined shape.
