| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7000435 | Roll coating of glass fibers A roll coater for placing binder on the fibers prior to being wound around a rotating drawing drum. The drawing drum draws fibers out of orifices in the bottom of a slowly reciprocating furnace. The fibers form a mat on the drawing drum that is later removed and exp... | 02/21/2006 |
| 6303182 | Method for making optical fiber devices having variable thickness metal coatings In accordance with the invention, an optical fiber is provided with a metal coating of controlled variable thickness by the steps of disposing the fiber in position for receiving coating metal from a metal source, and depositing metal while moving a shado... | 10/16/2001 |
| 5996376 | Methods of forming optical rods including three-dimensional patterns on end faces thereof A method of patterning a plurality of optical rods includes bonding a plurality of optical rods into an array wherein each of the optical rods is aligned so that an exposed end face of each of the optical rods is oriented in a common direction. The expose... | 12/07/1999 |
| 5891249 | Apparatus for the preparation of metal matrix fiber composites A method for producing continuous and discontinuous fiber metal matrix composites (CFMMC). The method uses aerosolization of finely divided metal powders in a controlled atmosphere which prevents explosions to coat the fibers and then the metal coated fib... | 04/06/1999 |
| 5232901 | Method of producing superconducting ceramic wire having protective metal coating thereon There is provided a method of producing a protective metal coated or covered superconducting ceramic wire by applying a finely pulverized protective metal-dispersed polymeric resin onto the surface of a glass wire in amorphous state of metal oxides capabl... | 08/03/1993 |
| 5110334 | Method of producing glass fiber with cores of a different material A process is provided for forming a glass fiber having one or more metal aments in its core. In the process, a metal rod or particles of a metal or semiconducting material optionally mixed with glass powder is introduced into a hollow glass tube closed a... | 05/05/1992 |
| 4606608 | Process and apparatus for preparing glass fibers coated with amorphous metallic alloy, and fibers coated thereby A process and apparatus for preparing a glass fiber circumferentially coated with an amorphous metallic alloy, wherein the glass fiber is drawn to substantially its final diameter and then coated with amorphous metallic alloy. The coating is accomplished ... | 08/19/1986 |
| 4579107 | Solar energy collector and method of making same Method and device manufactured thereby for economically making solar collectors and concentrators by employing a technique of applying high-efficiency, energy absorptive coatings. The technique is spraying less-than-ultra-pure nickel or chromium, in a mol... | 04/01/1986 |
| 4169182 | Heat insulating material for high temperature use and process for manufacturing thereof Heat insulating materials having excellent heat resistance and durability prepared from glass-ceramic fibers composed chiefly of crystals, e.g., ଲ-spodumene and/or cordierite and containing 0.1 to 15% by weight of at least one metallic element capab... | 09/25/1979 |
| 4024309 | Foam glass structural element and method of producing Foam glass developed under vacuum is continuously formed into a slab while being cladded on its major sides and longitudinal edges with sheet metal. The metal claddings or facings for the two major sides of the slab are held under tension during the solid... | 05/17/1977 |
