  • Extended above the lock-screen experience
    Patent number: 9606643
    Abstract: A subset of functionality associated with an application or portion of an application can be executed above a lock screen. A lock screen enables a device to transition from a locked state to an unlocked state. While in a locked state, at least a subset of application functionality can be deployed. Additional functionality associated with the application can be accessed by transitioning to an unlocked state.
    Type: Grant

  • Crystals for ultraviolet light filters
    Patent number: 5837054
    Abstract: Crystals formed of a solid-solution of NiSiF.sub.6 6H.sub.2 O provide very good materials for filtering ultraviolet light and will not deteriorate in temperatures as high as 115.degree. C. They are particularly useful in sensing devices which seek to identify the presence of ultraviolet light in the UV missile warning band.

  • Unstable laser apparatus
    Patent number: 5199042
    Abstract: An unstable laser with improved beam quality has a laser medium and a pair of crossed Porro prism end reflectors positioned to form a resonator defining a light path through the laser medium. Beam expansion optics magnify the beam with each pass through the resonator and is accomplished with a negative lens at one end of the resonator and a telescope at the other end. The negative lens produces a diverging beam through a laser medium in one direction and the telescope recollimates the beam in the reverse direction. Radially varying birefringent compensation is accomplished in the resonator with a crystalline waveplate. Output coupling is achieved through the use of the waveplate in conjunction with polarizer optics.
