  • Patent number: 10310157
    Abstract: An accessory device is disclosed. The accessory device may include a light guide assembly that directs light from a light source (or sources) through an opening of the accessory device, and in particular, in a base portion of the accessory device. The light guide assembly may be disposed in a compartment of the accessory device and include a light guide body as well as a light guide insert disposed in an opening of the light guide body. To form the opening, a single cutting operation may cut through the base portion and the light guide body so that the respective openings of the base portion and the light guide body are aligned. The light guide body may be designed to receive the light from the light source and direct or focus the light toward the light guide insert. The light guide insert may refract, scatter, and/or diffuse the light.

  • Patent number: 5593727
    Abstract: The chemical vapor deposition of hydridospherosiloxane to generate films of SiO.sub.2 at low temperatures on substrates that cannot withstand high temperatures. The chemical vapor deposition process synthesized compounds with the general formula,(HSiO.sub.3/2).sub.n,with n being an even number ranging from 8 to a very large number. More particularly, it relates to the vapor deposition of oligomeric hydrogensilsesquioxanes, henceforth referred to as hydridospherosiloxanes. The hydridospherosiloxanes are used directly in a chemical vapor deposition reactor to generate films of SiO.sub.2 at low temperatures on substrates that cannot withstand high temperatures. Hydridospherosiloxanes and soluble hydrogensilsesquioxane resin are produced having the formula(HSiO.sub.3/2).sub.n,where n is an even integer greater than 8.

  • Patent number: 5262199
    Abstract: Metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is used to form a layer of a metal oxide on the surfaces and within the pores of a porous ceramic material. The metal oxide is formed from one or more inexpensive metal organic precursors which permeate the pores of the substrate as a vapor. Surface reactions on the heated substrate convert the metal organic precursors to their metal oxide. The technique has particular utility in creating catalysts with very large surface areas and in providing a protective coating on ceramic materials that prevents or reduces damage from hostile environments. In a preferred embodiment, aluminum isopropoxide, [(CH.sub.3).sub.2 CHO].sub.3 Al, and titanium ethoxide, Ti(C.sub.2 H.sub.5 O).sub.4, are used simultaneously or successively as precursors to generate a Al.sub.2 TiO.sub.5 coating on a porous ceramic substrate such as SiC or porous refractory cement candle filters.
