20090197048 | DAMAGE RESISTANT GLASS ARTICLE FOR USE AS A COVER PLATE IN ELECTRONIC DEVICES - An alkali aluminosilicate glass article, said alkali aluminosilicate glass having a surface compressive stress of at least about 200 MPa, a surface compressive layer having a depth of at least about 30 μm, a thickness of at least about 0.3 mm and an amphiphobic fluorine-based surface layer chemically bonded to the surface of the glass. In one embodiment the glass has an anti-reflective coating applied to one surface of the glass between the chemically strengthened surface of the glass and the amphiphobic coating. In another embodiment the surface of the chemically strengthened glass is acid treated using a selected acid (e.g., HCL, H | 08-06-2009 |
20100285275 | FINGERPRINT-RESISTANT GLASS SUBSTRATES - A glass substrate having at least one surface with engineered properties that include hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, anti-stick or adherence of particulate or liquid matter, resistance to fingerprinting, durability, and transparency (i.e., haze<10%). The surface comprises at least one set of topological features that together have a re-entrant geometry that prevents a decrease in contact angle and pinning of drops comprising at least one of water and sebaceous oils. | 11-11-2010 |
20110018174 | Electrospinning Process and Apparatus for Aligned Fiber Production - An electrospinning process and apparatus for forming aligned electrospun fibers. A time-dependent (AC) voltage is applied to a multi-electrode collector in order to temporally control the location and orientation of fiber deposition. | 01-27-2011 |
20120281292 | Glass Article Having Antireflective Layer and Method of Making - Durable antireflective coatings and glass articles having such coatings are described herein. The antireflective coatings generally include a layer of nominally hexagonally packed nanoparticles that are partially embedded either in a surface of the glass article or in a binder that is on the surface of the glass article. Methods of making the antireflective coatings or layers and glass articles having such antireflective layers are also described. | 11-08-2012 |
20130323466 | OLEOPHOBIC GLASS ARTICLES AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING SAME - Described herein are glass substrates having oleophobic surfaces that are substantially free of features that form a reentrant geometry. The surfaces can include a plurality of gas-trapping features, extending from the surface to a depth below the surface, that are substantially isolated from each other. The gas-trapping features are capable of trapping gas below any droplets that are contacted with the surface so as to prevent wetting of the surface by the droplets. | 12-05-2013 |
20140105546 | FERRULE SYSTEM FOR FIBER OPTIC CONNECTORS - An optical waveguide ferrule includes a body and a low-expansion material on one end of the body. The body of the ferrule is formed from a first material and has a bore extending lengthwise therethrough. The bore is configured to receive an optical fiber along a central axis of the ferrule. The low-expansion is configured to be heated without damaging the body. | 04-17-2014 |
20140105547 | FERRULE WITH STRESS-ISOLATION FEATURE - A ferrule for optical waveguides includes an exterior of the ferrule, an interior of the ferrule, and a stress-isolation region between the interior of the ferrule and the exterior of the ferrule. The interior of the ferrule has a bore defined therein that is configured to receive an optical waveguide. The material of the stress-isolation region has an elastic modulus that is less than the elastic modulus of material of the interior and exterior of the ferrule, whereby the stress-isolation region limits communication of stresses therebetween. | 04-17-2014 |
20150153511 | OPTICAL FIBER CABLE WITH CORE ELEMENT HAVING SURFACE-DEPOSITED COLOR LAYER - A method of forming an optical communication cable is provided. The cable includes a core element located in a cable jacket. The core element includes a buffer tube having an outer surface, an inner surface and a channel defined by the inner surface of the first tube. The core element includes an optical fiber located within the channel of the buffer tube and a color layer formed from a surface-deposited colorant material applied to the outer surface of the buffer tube. | 06-04-2015 |
