| 6049370 | Liquid crystal light valves using internal, fixed spacers and method of incorporating same An improved liquid crystal display cell (34) comprising two substrates (108, 124) spaced apart and containing a quantity of liquid crystal mixture (18) therebetween, in which the substrates have facing surfaces (108', 124') coated with a continuous, elect... | 04/11/2000 |
| 5457337 | Low-noise gain-mode impurity band conduction detector design The photo-sensitive detector region of conventional Impurity Band Conduction (IBC) detector (also known as a Blocked Impurity Band [BIB] detector) is divided into a wide detection (or collection) region and a narrow gain region by means of tailoring the d... | 10/10/1995 |
| 5455061 | Nondestructive determination of plasma processing treatment characteristics Plasma processing treatment characteristics of an object are determined nondestructively, prior to plasma processing the object, by placing an indicator layer over at least a portion of the plasma processing surface of the object, so as to generally confo... | 10/03/1995 |
| 5454902 | Production of clean, well-ordered CdTe surfaces using laser ablation Chemically-etched and or sputtered CdTe surfaces are exposed to UV excimer laser radiation at a fluence ranging from about 15 to 75 mJ/cm2, followed by either a low temperature ( | 10/03/1995 |
| 5452753 | Vehicle tire management system including wheel with self-contained tire inflation/deflation apparatus A high pressure air reservoir, a pump unit and an air pressure sensor are provided on each wheel of a motor vehicle. The sensor senses the air pressure in a tire which is mounted on the respective wheel. The pump unit is controllable to selectively pump a... | 09/26/1995 |
| 5435856 | Multiple-quantum-well semiconductor structures with selective electrical contacts and method of fabrication A method is provided for forming selective electrical contacts on a structure of alternating ultrathin semiconductor layers of two different types, so that electrical connection can be made separately to the layers of a given type. Selective etching of fi... | 07/25/1995 |
| 5434756 | Distributed lighting system with fiber optic controls A vehicle lighting system includes one or more central light sources, a plurality of optical loads including headlight lenses, an optical fiber network that extends from the light sources to illuminate the headlight lenses and other optical loads, and opt... | 07/18/1995 |
| 5434662 | Speckle resistant method and apparatus with chirped laser beam Laser beam speckle effects are mitigated by frequency chirping a single-mode laser beam, reflecting it off a speckling surface, and then integrating the reflected beam over at least one chirp period. The speckle reduction is comparable to the use of a mul... | 07/18/1995 |
| 5433791 | MBE apparatus with photo-cracker cell Ultraviolet (UV) light from a lamp or UV laser, such as a metal can short arc xenon lamp or excimer laser, respectively, is provided for cracking Group V and Group VI species comprising clusters (dimers and tetramers) or metal-organic molecules to form mo... | 07/18/1995 |
| 5432119 | High yield electron-beam gate fabrication method for sub-micron gate FETS Yields of FETs such as HEMTs are significantly improved by establishing an elongate gate contact opening in a patterning material with the patterning material over-hanging the opening along both its elongate sides and its ends. A contact metal is next eva... | 07/11/1995 |
