Abstract:
A taillight article including an optically clear light guide having an light emission front surface and an opposing rear surface and a side surface separating the front surface and the rear surface is described. A first light source is configured to direct light into the side surface and indicate a first signal function. A plurality of light extraction features are on or within the optically clear light guide and are configured to direct light from the first light source out through the emission surface. A light reflection element is spaced apart from the rear surface and defines a cavity that is observable by a viewer.

Abstract:
A taillight article (100) including a light guide (110) having an light emission front surface (112) and a rear surface (114) and a plurality of light extraction features (116) on or within the light guide (110), configured to direct light out through the emission surface (112), is described. A first light source (120) indicating a first signal function is configured to direct light in a first direction into a side surface (118) of the light guide. A second light source (130) indicating a second signal function is configured to direct light in a second direction into a second side surface (119) of the light guide, the second direction being different than the first direction.
Abstract:
Electronic devices such as transistors are disclosed. The electronic device includes an electrically conductive gate electrode, an anodized layer disposed on the gate electrode, a dielectric layer disposed on the anodized layer, and a semiconductor oxide layer that has a channel region. The channel region is disposed on the dielectric layer and has an internal resistance. The internal resistance of the channel can change when an electrical signal is applied to the gate electrode.
Abstract:
Lightguides including pixelated images, and methods of making the lightguides are provided. The lightguides include an image formed on a major side which is illuminated for directly viewing. The image includes an elongated portion being pixelated into an array of pixels. Each of the pixels includes a single light extracting structure adapted to receive the propagating light within the lightguide along the optical axis and extract the received light transversely out of the lightguide.
Abstract:
Lightguides are disclosed. In particular, lightguides including extractors with directionally dependent extraction efficiency are disclosed. The lightguide may include a series or array of directionally dependent light extractors. Certain configurations enabling the display of indicia and exemplary light extractor shapes are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a multiphoton imaging method. The method includes a) immersing a semi-submersible microscope objective in a liquid medium that is at least one of scattering or absorbing; b) directing laser light through the semi-submersible microscope objective and into the liquid medium in an image-wise manner under conditions such that multiphoton absorption by the multiphoton absorber occurs, and at least partial polymerization of the polymerizable compound occurs resulting in an article; and c) removing uncured polymerizable compound to clean the article. The liquid medium includes a polymerizable compound, a secondary component, and a multiphoton absorber. An article is also provided. The article includes a material defining one or more tortuous or arcuate channels, one or more internal architectural voids, one or more undercuts, one or more perforations, or combinations thereof, at least one of which exhibits a surface roughness of 1.0 micrometer Ra or less.
Abstract:
Keyed fluid-handling devices comprise a fluid-handling device such as a filter, a bypass, or an adapter and an optical key. The optical keys are amenable to all types of filter component and can be readily retrofitted to existing designs. The optical keys may be formed from a variety of materials and combination of phases. That is, optical keys may comprise one or more solid materials, or perhaps may result from a combination of: solid materials, such as in transparent or semi-transparent polymers or glass; liquid fluids, such as water; and gaseous gaps such as an air gap. Optical keys may be light conduits or light guides. Filter manifolds comprise optical locks to ensure compatibility of the filter components.
