Patent CA-2684848-A1 (CA)
Title: Smoking article with novel wrapper
Inventor: LI PING
IPC: D21H19/54
Filed: 2008-05-22
Abstract: A smoking article 20 has a pattern 34a, 34b, 34c, 34d, 36d' of permeability reducing film forming compound applied to the wrapping paper 24. The pattern is configured so that when a smoking article is placed on a substrate, at least two longitudinal locations along the length of the tobacco rod have film forming compound located only on sides of the smoking article not in contact with the substrate. At these longitudinal locations, the restricted airflow to the tobacco due to the presence of the substrate, in combination with the film-forming compound located at the sides is sufficient to cause the smoking article to self-extinguish. However, when the smoking article is held by a smoker, the presence of the film-forming compound does not by itself cause the smoking article to extinguish. A desirable self burn capability is therefore maintained.

Abstract: A plurality of dichroic filters are included in multifunction photovoltaic cells to increase efficiency. For example, in a multi-junction photovoltaic cell comprising blue, green, and red active layers, blue, green, and red dichroic filters that reflect blue, green, and red light, respectively, may be disposed proximal to the blue, green, and red active layers to reflect back light not absorbed on the first past. The dichroic filters may be used to demultiplex white light incident on the PV cell and deliver suitable wavelengths to the appropriate active layer, e.g., blue wavelengths to the blue active layer, green wavelengths to the green active layer, red wavelengths to the red active layer. The PV cell may additionally be interferometrically tuned to increase absorption efficiency. Accordingly, optical resonant layers and cavities may be employed in certain embodiments.
