20120327413 | CHIP-SCALE OPTICS MODULE FOR OPTICAL INTERROGATORS - A method is disclosed for manufacturing a chip-scale optics module for an optical interrogator. The method includes aligning a polarization axis of a linear polarizer to an angle of 45 degrees from a fast axis of a quarter wave plate to enable circular polarization of a beam, when a beam is introduced to the linear polarizer, coupling the linear polarizer to the quarter wave plate after the aligning to form a circular polarizing filter sheet and then dicing the circular polarizing filter sheet to obtain a plurality of chip-scale circular polarizing filters. Each of the chip-scale circular polarizing filters is diced to have an edge that defines a polarization location index for the linear polarizer. A linear polarizer plate face of one of the chip-scale circular polarizing filters is then positioned so that the linear polarizer plate face is aligned with and parallel to an output face of a laser, whereby the polarization axis of the linear polarizer is not orthogonal to a polarization axis of the laser. The chip-scale circular polarizing filter is coupled to a frame after the positioning step. | 12-27-2012 |

20090251224 | COMPACT OPTICAL ASSEMBLY FOR CHIP-SCALE ATOMIC CLOCK - Provided is a chip-scale atomic clock having a folded optic configuration or physics package. In particular, the physics package includes a vapor cell for containing gaseous alkali atoms and a VCSEL for generating a laser light. One or more heating elements are positioned to simultaneously heat both the vapor cell and VCSEL to the required operating temperature. A micro-lens element, positioned between the VCSEL and a reflector, is used to first expand the beam of light, and then to subsequently collimate the light after it is once reflected. Collimated, reflected light passes through the vapor cell wherein the alkali atoms are excited and a percentage of the reflected light is absorbed. A detector, located opposite the reflector and micro-lens array, detects light passing through the cell. An error signal is generated and the output voltage of a local voltage oscillator is successively stabilized. | 10-08-2009 |

20120155100 | Vocational Truck Headlight Assembly - The present disclosure sets forth a composite headlight assembly which increases the visibility and sight afforded to the driver of a vocational truck using such a composite lighting assembly. A composite lighting assembly includes a low beam light and a high beam light, as well as a turn signal and a parking light within one composite housing. As the overall size of the housing is limited by the size of the grill of the vehicle, the present disclosure increases the visibility and sight afforded to the driver by taking advantage of the untapped space within known composite headlight assemblies. More specifically, the turn signal and parking light may include a downwardly depending trapezoidal appendage increasing the overall area of the turn signal and parking light by at least ten percent. | 06-21-2012 |

20110041139 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INTER-OBJECT COMMUNICATION - A partnership object is created to manage interactions between objects in an object oriented computing environment. An interaction license is issued by a licensing framework executing on a computing device to each of a group of objects indicating that the group of objects is authorized to form partnerships, where the group of objects interact by requesting formation of the partnerships using the provided interaction licenses. A first object requests to interact with a second object. A partnership object is created and each of the first and second objects is provided with a reference to the partnership object. The request from the first object may include identifiers of licenses associated with the first and second object and the partnership object may be created only if both licenses are validated. The first object then is able to interact with the second object by using the reference to the partnership object. | 02-17-2011 |

20090019454 | Apparatus and Method for Inter-Object Communication - An apparatus and method for managing inter-object communication are provided. With the apparatus and method, objects obtain licenses to interact with one another via a licensing framework. When an object wishes to enter into an interaction with another object, the first object sends its license to the second object. The second object then sends a request to the framework requesting that a partnership between the objects be generated. The partnership request includes an identification of the two objects' licenses. The objects' licenses are then validated and, assuming the licenses are valid, a partnership object is created. References to the partnership object are forwarded to the objects which then use the reference to the partnership object to communicate with the other object in the partnership rather than a direct reference to the other partner object. When one object of the partnership lapses, by failure of a module with which the object is associated, for example, a lapse event is posted to the licensing framework. In response to the lapse event, the licensing framework determines the partnerships of the lapsed object. The partner objects of the partnerships in which the lapsed object was active are identified and informed of the lapse of the object. The partnership objects are then torn down and resources reclaimed. | 01-15-2009 |
