Patent CA-2588082-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEVENS JAMES P
IPC: B65D51/18
Filed: 2007-05-09
Abstract: There is provided an interference-fit overcap for a container with a removable membrane. The overcap includes a skirt that provides an interference--fit with the rim of the container surrounding an opening in the container when the membrane is attached to the container. The overcap also includes a circumferential ring extending from the overcap in a direction opposite the skirt. The circumferential ring has an outside surface that is dimensioned to produce an interference fit with an inner wall of the container after the membrane has been removed. Thus the overcap may be securely attached to the container both before the membrane is removed and after the membrane is removed, such that the contents of the container may be sealed by the overcap after the membrane is removed.

Abstract: This invention relates to optical splitters, particularly to optical splitters for use in optical touch screens. The present invention provides an optical splitter for distributing light substantially equally from a multimode input waveguide (41) to an array of output waveguides (45), via a slab region (42).  The distribution of output waveguide widths is chosen to complement the intensity distribution in the slab region, which may or may not be substantially uniform. The invention also provides an optical splitter for distributing light substantially equally from an optical source (40) to a plurality of waveguides, wherein said optical source directs a beam of light into a slab region. The distribution of waveguide widths is chosen to complement the intensity distribution in the slab region, which may or may not be substantially uniform. When used to distribute optical power in optical touch screens, the splitters of the present invention may be used in series and/or in parallel.
