The surfaces of each polarizing beam splitter can be polished so that the light utilization efficiency is increased due to total internal reflection within the polarizing beam splitter. The light combiners can combine up to five unpolarized different color lights to produce an unpolarized polychromatic light output, which may be white light useful for a projection display. The light splitters can split unpolarized polychromatic light to produce up to five unpolarized different color light outputs. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20090181927 | BONDING TISSUES AND CROSS-LINKING PROTEINS WITH NAPHTHALIMIDE COMPOUNDS - Naphthalimide compounds are used in tissue bonding and protein cross-linking applications. When activated by an activating agent, such as light in the 400-500 nm absorption range, the naphthalimide compounds form chemically-reactive species that cross-link proteins, bond connective tissues together, and bond tissues and other biomaterials together. A naphthalimide-labeled biomolecule, such as a naphthalimide-labeled chitosan, is also capable of bonding tissues without subsequent direct illumination of the contacted tissue area. The naphthalimide compounds may be used in tissue or arterial repair, stabilization of an expanded arterial wall after angioplasty, tethering pharmaceutical agents to tissue surfaces to provide local drug delivery, and for chemically bonding skin care products, sunscreens, and cosmetics to the skin. | 07-16-2009 |
