20110086095 | Bioadhesive Polymers - Polymers and compositions, collectively “bioadhesive materials”, with improved bioadhesive properties have been developed. One or more compounds comprising: a) an aromatic moiety comprising two or more hydroxyl substituents, methoxy substituents, substituents hydrolyzable to hydroxyl substituents, or a combination thereof, and b) a primary or secondary amino moiety are either covalently attached to a polymer or are physically mixed with a polymer to form a bioadhesive material. These bioadhesive materials can be used, for example, to fabricate new drug delivery or diagnostic systems with increased residence time at tissue surfaces, and consequently increase the bioavailability of a drug or a diagnostic agent. | 04-14-2011 |

20080272587 | ID Document Structure with Pattern Coating Providing Variable Security Features - A security feature for an identification document and method for making it provide layers of security, including, for example, tamper evidence, optically variable effects, and personalized information that links the security information to the document and its bearer. The feature is made by printing a first material representing first information on a core layer of the document. This first material at least partially overlaps the core layer. One example is Xerographic printing of information about the ID document applicant and the applicant's photo. The process also applies a second material representing second information adjacent to the first material. One example is ink jet printing of personal information with a UV curable ink in the form of a relief pattern on the core layer. Finally, the process applies a laminate layer over the core layer. The laminate layer covers the first and second materials. The first and second materials adhere differently to the laminate and core layers such that removal of the laminate layer from the core layer causes a separation of the first and second materials. The relief pattern is made to give the document a tactile feel as well as create optically variable effects. | 11-06-2008 |
20090110009 | OPTICAL FIBER GRATING TUNING DEVICE AND OPTICAL SYSTEMS EMPLOYING SAME - A tuning device for an optical fiber grating includes a multi-part confinement member. The confinement member includes a feature such as a channel in which the fiber grating is disposed. Movement of the different parts of the confinement member relative to one another causes compression or tension of the fiber grating. The confinement member may include first and second slides. One end of the fiber is bonded to the first slide, the other end of the fiber is bonded to the second slide. The grating section of the fiber is confined in a channel formed by adjacent surfaces of the slides. The dimensions of the channel are selected such that the fiber grating is maintained in a relatively straight orientation without buckling when compression strain is applied to the fiber. An actuator may be employed to control the strain applied to the fiber, i.e., to axially compress or stretch the fiber grating by driving one or both of the slides in a controlled manner. The resonance wavelength of the fiber grating can be tuned as a function of the strain applied to the fiber. The confinement member may alternatively include deformable slides which axially deform, i.e., extend and retract so as to change in length. Each end of the fiber is affixed to both of the deformable slides so that axial compression or stretching of the fiber grating is achieved through deformation of the deformable slides. The fiber grating tuning device can be deployed in components such as tunable fiber lasers and tunable fiber filters. | 04-30-2009 |
20100002733 | Q-SWITCHED ALL-FIBER LASER - A Q-switched all-fiber laser utilizes a long period fibre grating (LPFG) modulator. The LPFG modulator is characterized by optical spectral characteristics that are controlled by application of stress via an actuator. In particular, the actuator applies stress to selected sections of the LPFG in order to modulate a light signal at a specified wavelength. Further, a controller is utilized to control the application of stress in the time domain, and thereby switch the Q-factor of the fiber laser cavity. In addition to the LPFG, the laser cavity comprises a pair of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and a fiber gain medium. | 01-07-2010 |
20110057434 | Image Destruct Feature Used With Image Receiving Layers In Secure Documents - An image destruct material comprises a release layer positioned between an image receiving layer and a base layer. The adhesion between the release layer and the base layer is greater than adhesion between the release layer and the image receiving layer. The release layer material can be used in secure documents that have an image receiving layer. After information is printed on the image receiving layer, an overlaminate is applied over it. Removal of the overlaminate destroys the printed image on the receiving layer because of the relative adhesive properties of the image receiving layer, overlaminate and release layer. | 03-10-2011 |
