20160041410 | INTERCHANGEABLE EYEGLASS FRAME DESIGNS - An eyeglass sleeve is provided. The eyeglass sleeve may include a sidewall having an elongated length and forming an elongated channel within the sidewall. The sidewall may further include a first edge and a second edge, each running along the elongated length of the sidewall. The first and second edge form an opening in between that leads to the elongated channel. The sidewall is made of a resilient stretchable material and is formed to receive and secure at least a portion of a glasses frame within the elongated channel. | 2016-02-11 |
20160041411 | SUPPRESSION OF ELECTRON-HOLE RECOMBINATION USING ORBITAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - An apparatus for suppressing electron/hole recombination includes a photonic device that generates electron/hole pairs responsive to a light beam interacting with the photonic device. An orbital angular momentum (OAM) generation device is located to impart an orbital angular momentum to a light beam before the light beam interacts with the photonic device. The electron/hole pair recombination generated from an OAM imparted light beam is less than electron/hole pair recombination of a non-OAM imparted light beam. | 2016-02-11 |
