20090025553ADSORBENT COATING COMPOSITIONS, LAMINATES AND ADSORBER ELEMENTS COMPRISING SUCH COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THEIR MANUFACTURE AND USE - Using zeolites as the active adsorbent, adsorbent laminates have been fabricated with various sheet supports. These adsorbent laminates have been successfully operated for oxygen enrichment at high PSA cycle frequencies, such as upwards of at least 150 cycles per minute. Methods for making suitable adsorbent laminates are described. The methods generally involve forming a slurry comprising a liquid suspending agent, an adsorbent and a binder. Laminates are made by applying the slurry to support material or admixing support material with the slurry. The slurry can be applied to support material using a variety of techniques, including roll coaters, split roll coaters, electrophoretic deposition, etc. One method for making laminates by mixing support material with the adsorbent slurry comprises depositing the slurry onto a foraminous wire, draining the slurry material, and pressing the material to form a ceramic adsorbent paper. Spacers can be formed on adsorbent laminates to space one laminate from another. The spacer dimensions can be uniform, or can vary along a laminate, such as increasing in height from a first end to a second end of the laminate. Gas flow-through apertures also can be formed on laminates. The laminates are adjacent one another to define flow channel between adjacent bodies, whereby a portion of a gas flowing through the flow channels flows through the apertures to facilitate pressure equalization in the adsorbent structure.01-29-2009

20120057241ANGULAR ADJUSTABLE VARIABLE BEAMSPLITTER - A beamsplitter includes a bifurcated frame, which rotates about a vertical axis, enabling the transmissive properties of an optical element, e.g. etalon, mounted on one arm of the frame, to be tuned as the angle of the optical element is rotated relative to an incoming optical beam.

20150316764VIRTUAL IMAGE PHASE ARRAY - A virtual image phase array (VIPA) includes two parallel surfaces, a first highly-reflective surface with a highly-reflective coating, and a second partially-reflective surface. The first highly-reflective surface also requires an input zone with an anti-reflection coating, which abuts the highly-reflective coating, with a transition zone therebetween. Light enters the VIPA through the input zone, and reflects back and forth between the highly and partially reflective surfaces, gradually leaking out through the partially reflective surface. To minimize the transition zone and thereby minimize the input angle of incidence and maximize the number of reflections per unit of length, the substrate coated with the highly-reflective coating is subsequently polished at an acute angle resulting in the transition zone having the same sharp angle.11-05-2015
