  • Patent number: 10992105
    Abstract: A coating having a mismatched coefficient of thermal expansion is applied to an underlying light emitting diode (LED) or laser diode (LD), such that as the temperature of the device changes, a varying level of strain is introduced to the underlying LED or LD. Because strain can also adjust the effective bandgap energy (and hence emission wavelength) of the device, the external strain-inducing coating can act to either compensate for the wavelength shift due to temperature (resulting in reduced d?/dT) or accentuate it (resulting in increased d?/dT). By proper selection of coating material and geometry, full control over d?/dT can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20130190185
    Abstract: A superconducting magnetic shielding system includes first and second planar superconducting shields respectively positioned above and below an environment to be shielded. The shields are each thermally coupled to a cold source at a respective thermalizing point. When the shields are cooled into the superconducting regime, they passively block magnetic fields via the Meissner Effect. Each shield may also be shaped to produce a smooth temperature gradient extending away from its thermalizing point; thus, as the shields are cooled, magnetic fields may be expelled away from the thermalizing point and, consequently, away from the environment to be shielded. A heater may also be provided opposite the thermalizing points to improve control of the temperature gradient.

    Abstract: The Protective Eyeglass Magnetic Sleeve for Cell Phone Radiation, provides a lightweight malleable rubber sheath worn over the arm of eyeglasses or sunglasses. It may also be applied directly to the telephone receiver itself or blue tooth devices. The sleeve is embedded with a series of small circular magnets measuring approximately five-sixteenths ( 5/16) of an inch. The magnets are strategically placed in the sleeve and alternately positioned positive to negative (+?), thereby generating a magnetic field designed to block the harmful electromagnetic waves emitted by cell phones, without compromising the quality of the voice signal being emitted.
