International Classification:

B32B 15/04
B32B 15/00

US Classification:

428432, 428697, 428702

Abstract:

An infrared transmissive article includes an infrared transmissive substrate and a single layer anti-reflective (AR) composite broadband sol gel coating on a surface of the substrate. The AR coating includes a first chalcogenide including compound, and a second chalcogenide including compound intermixed with the first chalcogenide including compound. The percentages of the first chalcogenide and the second chalcogenide in the AR coating are selected to provide a refractive index of the AR coating that approximates the square root of a refractive index of the substrate.

G02B 5/08

US Classification:

359263, 359247, 359850

Abstract:

An array of two or more tunable electro-optical reflecting elements where the phase response of one or more elements may be adjusted by a variety of approaches including, but not limited to: a liquid crystal superstrate, schottky contact(s), ultra-violet radiation pulses, and illumination of photoconductive substrates. Methods and apparatus for direct and/or adaptive control of phase response via the above approaches are also discussed.

International Classification:

B05D 5/06

US Classification:

427162, 427165, 4273722

Abstract:

A method for forming composite anti-reflective (AR) sol gel-derived coatings includes forming a first chalcogenide compound sol and forming a second chalcogenide compound sol. The first and second sol are mixed to form a mixed sol. The mixed sol is thermally treated at a maximum temperature of no more than 100 C. for (i) drying the mixed sol to form a composite gel and (ii) removing OHspecies from the composite gel to form a highly amorphous state AR coating.

International Classification:

C11D 742
C12S 900
C12N 900
C12N 954

US Classification:

210392

Abstract:

A process is disclosed for preparing a detergent powder containing enzymes where the enzymes are extracted from a fermentation broth with a salt and surfactant mixture and directly agglomerated with detergent paste and dried to form the detergent powder. The process results in a two phase system where the enzyme is extracted into the surfactant rich phase and the second phase is salt rich. The process is especially useful for whole or clarified fermentation broths.
