20080226225 | LIGHT ACTIVATED OPTICAL SWITCH THAT INCLUDES A PIEZOELECTRIC ELEMENT WITH LAYERS OF PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL HAVING DIFFERENT PIEZOELECTRIC CHARACTERISTICS - A light activated optical switch has a piezoelectric element that has at least two layers of piezoelectric material with each layer having different piezoelectric characteristics. The piezoelectric characteristics of the layers are selected to enhance the performance of the piezoelectric element and ultimately to enhance the performance of the optical switch. | 09-18-2008 |
20080253714 | LIGHT ACTIVATED OPTICAL SWITCH THAT INCLUDES A PIEZOELECTRIC ELEMENT AND A CONDUCTIVE LAYER - A light activated optical switch includes at least one conductive layer located adjacent to a piezoelectric element to enhance the electrical field that is applied to the piezoelectric element in response to an activation light. The conductive layer has free electrons or electron holes that collect on a surface adjacent to the piezoelectric element when the activation light is applied to the piezoelectric element. The collection of free electrons near the piezoelectric element enhances the electrical field that is applied to the piezoelectric element in response to the activation light. The enhanced electrical field is used to enhance the performance of the piezoelectric element and ultimately to enhance the performance of the optical switch. | 10-16-2008 |

20100053713 | OPTICAL SWITCHES AND LOGIC GATES EMPLOYING SAME - An optical switch including a light passageway having a changeable cross-sectional area, an activation light responsive piezoelectric element associated with the light passageway, the activation light responsive piezoelectric element being operative to change its shape in response to activation light impinging thereon and a conductive element operatively associated with the piezoelectric element for enhancing activation light responsiveness thereof, the activation light responsive piezoelectric element being associated with the light passageway and being operative such that changes in the shape of the piezoelectric element cause changes in the changeable cross-sectional area of the light passageway sufficient to govern the passage of light along the light passageway. Logic gates and logic functionality employing an optical switch are also described. | 03-04-2010 |
20130295543 | Folding tesseract - This invention teaches a way to illustrate a tesseract and four dimensional properties of the laws of physics. A method is disclosed that teaches how to make tesseract models that can be made out of materials that fold. These tesseract models can be installed in books with a tether between pages to erect the tesseract in a three dimensional form when the pages of the book are spread for reading. | 11-07-2013 |

20160045290 | DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM COMPRISING MEANS FOR PREVENTING ROTATION OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURES AND METHODS OF FORMING AND INSTALLING - Dental implants for fixed and removable prosthetic devices, having application to single tooth replacement, e.g., caps and crowns, and multiple tooth replacement using one or more implants, e.g., bridges, and multiple implants for full and partial prosthetic devices. Dental implants comprise a non-cylindrical implant and an abutment configured to mate with the implant in a non-rotatable fashion. Further, dental reconstruction and abutment installation methods utilizing the dental implant systems and instruments are disclosed. Also provided are impression taking procedures, and impression copings that produce an accurate fit between the dental prosthesis and the dental implant. | 02-18-2016 |
