  • Publication number: 20160334649
    Abstract: Certain patternable reflective films are used as masks to make other patterned articles, and one or more initial masks can be used to pattern the patternable reflective films. An exemplary patternable reflective film has an absorption characteristic suitable to, upon exposure to a radiant beam, absorptively heat a portion of the film by an amount sufficient to change a first reflective characteristic to a different second reflective characteristic. The change from the first to the second reflective characteristic is attributable to a change in birefringence of one or more layers or materials of the patternable film. In a related article, a mask is attached to such a patternable reflective film. The mask may have opaque portions and light-transmissive portions. Further, the mask may have light-transmissive portions with structures such as focusing elements and/or prismatic elements.

  • Publication number: 20160334689
    Abstract: This disclosure describes insulated glass units (IGUs) that incorporate electrochromic devices. More specifically, this disclosure focuses on different configurations available for providing an electrical connection to the interior region of an IGU. In many cases, an IGU includes two panes separated by a spacer. The spacer defines an interior region of the IGU and an exterior region of the IGU. Often, the electrochromic device positioned on the pane does not extend past the spacer, and some electrical connection must be provided to supply power from the exterior of the IGU to the electrochromic device on the interior of the IGU. In some embodiments, the spacer includes one or more holes (e.g, channels, mouse holes, other holes, etc.) through which an electrical connection (e.g., wires, busbar leads, etc.) may pass to provide power to the electrochromic device.

  • Publication number: 20160334691
    Abstract: An Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) that includes optical elements located and oriented to form a non-planer, image-rotating ring cavity. To provide a high quality well shaped output beam, the OPO comprises a plurality of reflecting surfaces, designed to rotate the resonating beam by 90 degrees for each round trip in the cavity. Preferred embodiments include a first non-linear crystals and a similar second non-linear crystal mounted side-by-side on a single rotating stage. To minimize the adverse effects of walk-off, a reflecting unit is positioned to cause the output of the first crystal to be reflected into the second crystal. The two crystals are aligned so as to cause walk-off produced in the first of the two crystals to be cancelled by opposite walk-off produced in the second crystal.

    Abstract: A dynamic iris is located on the imaging path of an optical lens system that includes a relay lens system and at least one projection lens system. A dynamic iris modulates image frames in an image data stream, resulting in a reduction in light transmission associated with the modulated image frames. A dynamic iris may be configured to change the size of its aperture as fast as or faster than the image frame period of the image data stream, and may be located at or near the pupil of a relay lens system, a projection lens system, or both. A second dynamic iris in the imaging path further modulates the image frames, resulting in a further reduction in light transmission. A dynamic iris may modulate an image frame based on an electronic preview of the image frame or based on metadata associated with the image frame.
