US Classification:
427551, 4273722, 427386, 4273855, 427558, 427557
Abstract:
A method of slide coating that includes providing a first fluid, wherein the first fluid includes at least one solvent, at least one single unit polymeric precursor or a combination thereof; providing a second fluid, wherein the second fluid includes multi unit polymeric precursors; flowing the first fluid down a first slide surface, to create a first fluid layer on the first slide surface, the first slide surface being positioned adjacent a substrate; flowing the second fluid down a second slide surface, the second slide surface positioned relative to the first slide surface such that the second fluid flows from the second slide surface to above the first slide surface onto the first fluid layer to create the second fluid layer on the first slide surface; coating the substrate with the first and second fluid by flowing the first fluid layer and the second fluid layer from the first slide surface to the substrate forming first and second coated layers; moving the substrate; and at least partially curing the first coated layer, the second coated layer, or some combination thereof.

Optical Imaging System

View page
US Patent:
20200073041, Mar 5, 2020
Filed:
Nov 28, 2017
Appl. No.:
16/466054
Inventors:
- St. Paul MN, US
Brent A. Hedding - Hudson WI, US
David C. Mercord - Prescott WI, US
Brian W. Ostlie - Hudson WI, US
International Classification:
F21V 8/00
Abstract:
An optical imaging system () including an elongated lightguide () having pluralities of first and second light extractors () forming respective first and second patterns along the length of the lightguide is described. Light extracted by the first light extractors exit the lightguide primarily along a first direction toward a target location (), and light extracted by the second light extractors exit the lightguide primarily along a second direction different from the first direction. The optical imaging system includes a first reflector () for receiving light exiting the lightguide primarily along the second direction and reflecting the received light toward the target location. The first reflector forms a first virtual image () of the second pattern behind the first reflector. The first pattern and the first virtual image are visible to a viewer () viewing the optical imaging system from the target location.

US Patent:
20190377125, Dec 12, 2019
Filed:
Jan 8, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/463078
Inventors:
- St. Paul MN, US
Brian W. Ostlie - Hudson WI, US
Brent A. Hedding - Hudson WI, US
Charlie C. Ho - Woodbury MN, US
Yongshang Lu - Woodbury MN, US
Jay M. Jennen - Forest Lake MN, US
David C. Mercord - Prescott WI, US
Johnnie L. Williams - West Bloomfield MI, US
International Classification:
F21V 8/00
Abstract:
A display system including a lightguide and first and second reflective layers disposed on opposite sides of the lightguide is provided. The lightguide has opposing first and second major surfaces and includes a light extraction pattern for extracting light that would otherwise be confined and propagate within the lightguide primarily by total internal reflection. Light extracted by the light extraction pattern exits the lightguide through at least one of the first and second major surfaces of the lightguide. Each of the first and second reflective layers has an average specular reflectance of at least 50% in a predetermined wavelength range. The light extraction pattern may be repeatedly imaged by the first and second reflective layers to produce three-dimensional stacked images of the light extraction pattern.

Jeffrey J. Pederson - Colfax WI, US
International Classification:
F21V 8/00
B60Q 1/26
B60Q 3/217
B60Q 3/64
Abstract:
A lightguide includes features for extracting light that would otherwise be confined and propagate within the lightguide primarily by total internal reflection. A first portion of light propagating within the lightguide and extracted exits the lightguide through a first area of the lightguide having an optical reflectance of at least 30% and an optical transmittance of at least 5% for normally incident light at a wavelength of the extracted light. A second portion of light propagating within the lightguide and extracted exits the lightguide through a different second area of the lightguide having an optical transmittance of at least 80% for normally incident light at the wavelength of the extracted light.

US Patent:
20180313993, Nov 1, 2018
Filed:
Apr 28, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/569572
Inventors:
- St. Paul MN, US
Brent A. Hedding - Hudson WI, US
David C. Mercord - Prescott WI, US
Brian W. Ostlie - Hudson WI, US
International Classification:
F21V 8/00
Abstract:
Lightguides that include a plurality of discrete spaced apart light extracting structures are described. Each light extracting structure includes opposing inclined first and second sidewalls extending from a first side of the lightguide toward an optical axis of the light guide and meeting at an elongated peak extending along a first direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis, and may include opposing first and second endwalls extending between the first and second sidewalls from the first side of the lightguide to the elongated peak to form a notch extending into a core of the lightguide. The first and second sidewalls are adapted to extract light propagating along the lightguide from an opposite second side of the lightguide by reflecting the propagating light toward the second side. The notch may have raised edges along at least a portion of a perimeter of the notch.
