    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means to mutually and tightly seal two substrates placed opposite to each other enclosing a fixed amount of a second material (e.g. a liquid crystal) in between without physically or chemically damaging the enclosed material. SOLUTION: The method contains processes for making a liquid crystal material 3 adhere to a central region of a substrate 1, making an epoxy material fillet 4a adhere along and to the periphery of the substrate 1 as a continuous loop so as to surround the liquid crystal material, placing a second glass substrate 2 on the first substrate 1 so as to be continuously brought into contact with the epoxy fillet 4a and subsequently hardening the fillet with curing or cross-linking. Preferably the epoxy fillet is hardened with scanning the epoxy fillet by an infrared or ultraviolet laser converged so as to avoid heating of the liquid crystal material.

    Abstract: CLAMPED ACOUSTIC ELASTIC WAVE GENERATOR A pulse of energy including atomic, thermal or electromagnetic radiation produced by a source such as an electron or atomic beam, laser, electrical or optical means is applied to a generator. The generator includes a body of material adapted for acoustic vibration. An energy absorbing layer is in intimate acoustic contact with the body of material so that acoustic vibrations generated in the absorbing layer are transmitted to the body of material. The surface of the absorbing layer opposite to the body of material is acoustically clamped in position by a solid clamping medium.

    Abstract: MULTILAYERED SLANT-ANGLE THIN FILM ENERGY DETECTOR A detector of thermal energy is composed of an insulating substrate such as glass or sapphire coated with a thin film deposit of a slant-angle deposited metal preferably a transition element such as Ti, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Ta, W, U, Os, Ir, Pt and Mb exhibiting a transverse thermoelectric effect in response to a thermal energy gradient normal to the plane of the deposit. A layer of an electrical insulating material which is thermally conductive is deposited upon the thin film deposit, using materials such as SiO2, SiO, perylene, etc. Another thin film deposit of a slantangle film is deposited on top of the insulating material. A stack of alternate slant-angle thermoelectric elements and electrical insulating layers is formed to a depth at which the thermal gradient in the lowest slant-angle deposit is marginally advantageous. An input light, laser or other heat producing beam is applied to the upper layer of the stack. Alternatively, heat can also be apolied to the lower surface through a transparent substrate producing interfacial heating. Heat leaks into other film layers producing a substantial thermal gradient and hence, a thermoelectric transverse voltage in each of the metal films. The layers are interconnected electrically.

    Abstract: A light detector consisting of a thin film of metallic (or conducting) material having an induced anisotropy in conjunction with means for establishing a temperature gradient in the film in a direction normal to the plane of the film is disclosed. When thin films of molybdenum and tungsten are excited by a pulsed laser light at normal incidence to the film, transverse thermoelectric voltages are generated. Output voltages across a 50 ohm load of 10 millivolts have been observed for an incident laser pulse of approximately 1 KW. Wave lengths in the range of 0.46-1.06.mu.m and pulse widths of approximately 3 to 300 nanoseconds produce output voltages. A correlation between intrinsic film stress and output voltage indicates that stress (one of induced anisotropy) in the metal film introduced during deposition or externally induced anisotropy such as can be produced by a magnetic field in magnetic materials gives rise to a nonscalar absolute thermoelectric power even though the metal films are usually considered to be isotropic in their transport properties. The output from the detector, in terms of polarity, may be reversed by reversing the direction of light incidence. Also, the direction and magnitude of the output may be controlled by adjusting the position of the metallic film relative to a pair of contacts disposed in sliding relationship with the metallic film. While not necessary to the practice of the present invention, an electrically insulating substrate is preferably used to cause a better temperature gradient normal to the plane of the film. In general, the response time of the films is dependent on the laser pulse width.
