| 20120075519 | WAFER LEVEL OPTICAL SYSTEM - The present invention provides optical systems, devices and methods which utilize one or more electroactive polymer actuators to adjust an optical parameter of the optical device or system. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20110252611 | PORTABLE MULTIPOINT TENTER - The present invention provides portable multipoint tenter made from a rotating ring with a plurality of curved slots for placement in each of a first prong of a plurality of two-prong, guide pins, a circular base plate with a plurality of straight slots for placement of the first prong and a second prong of the plurality of two-prong guide pins and a contact pad attached to each of the second prongs. The inventive portable multipoint tenter helps to assure asymmetrical stzetch and is customizable so it can be made with various numbers of pads with minimal redesign. Because the inventive device is hand powered rather than electrical, the device is both portable and environmentally friendly. | 10-20-2011 |
