Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090047486LIGHT MANAGEMENT FILMS WITH ZIRCONIA PARTICLES - Light management films and methods of making light management films are described. The light management films contain an optical layer that contains polymeric material and zirconia particles. The zirconia particles are colloidal, crystalline, substantially non-associated, and have a narrow size distribution.02-19-2009
20090246417OPTICAL FILM ASSEMBLY AND DISPLAY DEVICE - Microstructured optical films, assemblies of films including at least one microstructured optical film, and (e.g. illuminated) display devices including a single microstructured optical film or assembly.10-01-2009
20100253885OPTICAL FILM ASSEMBLY AND DISPLAY DEVICE - Microstructured optical films, assemblies of films including at least one microstructured optical film, and (e.g. illuminated) display devices including a single microstructured optical film or assembly.10-07-2010

20110261584SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING BACKLIGHT OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS - A backlight includes a light source and one or more light recycling films. The light source generates light that exits the light source with an angular exit distribution. The light recycling films are oriented in relation to the light source so that the prism peaks of the recycling films are oriented away from the light source. The recycling films have a range of optimal incident angles that allow light to pass through the recycling films without recycling. The components of the light source, the characteristics of the recycling films, or both, are configured to control the overlap between the exit distribution of the light source and the optimal incident angle range of the recycling films.10-27-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100246142LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR A PLUGGABLE ELECTRONIC MODULE - A latch assembly for a pluggable electronic module matable with a receptacle assembly includes a lever actuatable between a latched position and an unlatched position, a yoke assembly operatively coupled to the lever, and a latch element coupled to the latch end of the yoke assembly. The yoke assembly has a latch end rotatable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch element is movable between an engaged position and an unengaged position as the latch end is rotated between the latched and unlatched positions, respectively. The latch element is configured to engage the receptacle assembly to lock the pluggable electronic module within the receptacle assembly when the latch element is in the engaged position.09-30-2010
20110110055GUIDE FRAME FOR A PLUGGABLE MODULE - A guide frame is provided for receiving a pluggable module having guide members that include upper and lower surfaces. The guide frame includes side segments extending lengths from loading ends to mating ends. The side segments are spaced apart from each other to define a receptacle extending therebetween. The receptacle is configured to receive the pluggable module therein. The side segments include upper and lower guide rails for guiding the pluggable module within the receptacle. The upper and lower guide rails are configured to engage the upper and lower surfaces, respectively, of the guide members of the pluggable module when the pluggable module is received within the receptacle. The guide frame also includes a cross member extending from, and interconnecting, the side segments.05-12-2011
20110255830CABLE ASSEMBLY - A cable assembly includes a housing having a mating end and a cable end and receives a cable through the cable end. The housing has a mounting block proximate to the cable end. A ferrule is configured to be terminated to the cable. The ferrule has an inner bushing and an outer bushing, with the inner and outer bushings cooperating to capture a cable braid of the cable therebetween. The ferrule is retained within the mounting block such that the ferrule is housed interior of the housing.10-20-2011
