Abstract: A method of applying a dielectric coating on a structure array of a component of an electrical device includes applying a first layer of a first dielectric material on a structure array with an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process or a spin-on cladding process. The structure array has a plurality of features. The method may include applying a second layer of a second dielectric material on the first layer with an evaporation deposition process, a physical vapor deposition process (PVD), or a flux-controlled chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The first layer has a first thickness and the second layer has a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, devices, and optical components are described. One or more materials used in an optical system may be bonded together using a pulsed laser beam. The bonding process may include transmitting a pulsed laser to irradiate an interface between two components, which may include two optical components or an optical component and a mounting component. The pulsed laser may generate one or more bonding locations where the components are in relatively close contact with each other, which may secure the components together via at least partial melting of material at one or more surfaces of the components. In some examples, the pulsed laser may be scanned over the bonding locations some quantity of times and/or using a pattern to achieve the bond. In some aspects, one or more absorbing layers may be added to the components.

Abstract: A medical illumination device including a sterile package, a base, a light housing, and a flexible body. An attachment component of the base may include an adhesive exposable upon removal of the component from the package. The base may have sufficient surface area, sufficient base weight, and sufficient holding strength to effectively provide stability for repositioning. The base may be 50% of the device weight and have a surface area of 1.0 square inch. A second portion of the attachment component may be repositionable without detaching the first portion. Portions may be separately removable from the sterile package. The device may include a second flexible body attaching a second light source to the base. The device may provide a base containing a power means, a lighting means, and a flexible body means. The device may also include a sterile packaging means and repositioning means.

Abstract: A medical illumination device including a base, a light housing and a flexible body. The base includes a power source and an attachment component. The attachment component further includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion attachable to an attachment point and the second portion repositionable relative to the first portion without detaching the first portion from the attachment point. The flexible body has a self-sustaining shape with at least one bendable shaft positioned inside the flexible body. The base provides stability for repositioning of the flexible body. The base has sufficient surface area contacting the attachment point, sufficient base weight, and sufficient holding strength to effectively provide stability for repositioning of the flexible body. The base comprises at least 50% of the weight of the device and has a surface area of at least 1.0 square inch.
