Abstract:
The invention provides a method and apparatus for depositing soluble materials on flexible substrates. The apparatus comprises a drum, which is rotatable about its longitudinal axis, and an inkjet print head disposed over the drum and adapted to be moved relative to the drum in a direction substantially parallel to longitudinal axis of the drum. A substrate is mounted on the drum by vacuum means and a line of droplets of a solution of the selected material is deposited by the print head, which remains stationary as the drum is rotated. The print head is then moved relative to the drum, in the direction substantially parallel to longitudinal axis of the drum, prior to deposition of subsequent lines. In this way, electrical devices can be built up on the substrate and a large scale flexible display device can be fabricated.

Abstract:
A method and an arrangement in connection with a production line for optic cable, wherein optical fibers (1) are guided to a coating point (3), where filling gel is applied around the fibres, and a loose tubular casing is formed around the fibres and the filling gel. The fibres (1) are guided to the coating point through a device (4) that is formed from three parts (4a, 4b, 4c), said device being supported on a first base (5) and on a second base (6) moving in the travel direction of the fibres. Sensors (7, 8) are arranged in the first and second bases (5, 6) for measuring the force acting on the bases (5, 6). The arrangement further comprises means (9) for calculating the difference between said measured values for determining the friction force between the fibres and the tubular device (4).
Abstract:
A system and method for curing compositions on optical fibers. A UV curing cassette is provided with an elongate tube through which the optical fiber is drawn. A pair of medium pressure arc lamps are positioned on diametrically opposite sides of the tube and a pair of reflectors are positioned around the respective arc lamps. A stepless power supply is connected to the arc lamps to drive the lamps, thereby generating ultraviolet light. The arc lamps are selected and adjusted, if necessary, to produce a wavelength output that substantially correlates with at least one wavelength range of the absorbency spectrum of the photoinitiator in the composition to be cured. By this system and method, UV curable compositions may be cured to a high curing percentage at quick draw speeds to produce optical fibers of strong but flexible fiber quality.
