International Classification:

G02B 6/00

US Classification:

385 12, 385 37, 73800

Abstract:

A measurement device including a fastener for use in attaching a first member to a second member, in which the fastener has an aperture extending through a length of the fastener, and a first optical fiber located within the aperture, in which the first optical fiber includes at least one fiber Bragg grating sensor. At least a portion of the first optical fiber can be secured within the aperture. A first end of the first optical fiber can be connected to an associated first optical connector and a second end of the first optical fiber can be connected to an associated second optical connector.

Appl. No.:

9/021835

Andrei Csipkes - Savage MD
William Keith Chandler - Woodsboro MD
Michael E. Schollian - Glen Burnie MD

Assignee:

CIENA Corporation - Linthicum MD

International Classification:

B25B 122

US Classification:

269 73

Abstract:

An optical assembly workstation includes a principal work surface and a movable work surface arranged above the principal work surface, with the elevated work surface being movable back and forth in at least one axial direction relative to the principal work surface. A frame assembly provides both support and a mechanism for moving the elevated work surface relative to the principal work surface. The movable work surface is either configured to receive an optical work piece, or is itself the optical work piece. The arrangement of a movable work surface over the principal work surface provides flexibility in optical test and optical assembly equipment placement, frees the principal work surface area of clutter, and reduces the probability of inadvertent damage to the optical fibers and optical assemblies being manufactured or tested at the optical assembly workstation.

Assignee:

Ciena Corporation - Linthicum MD

International Classification:

G01J 142
C03C 2500

US Classification:

65485

Abstract:

An apparatus for integrating steps of a process for interconnecting optical fibers. The apparatus contains a planar surface having a plurality of openings. A plurality of optical fiber processing modules are suspended within the plurality of openings, with each of the modules configured to execute a different step of the optical fiber interconnection process. A material transfer mechanism, such as a robot arm, is arranged above the planar surface and is connected to a controller. The apparatus can incorporate an optical fiber precision handling tool, which holds, transports and aligns the fibers to be processed. The robot arm is operative to pick-up and move the optical fiber precision handling tool between the plurality of modules. This allows the optical fibers to be transferred through a series of process steps without having to re-secure or re-orient the fibers between the steps.

Appl. No.:

15/364993

Inventors:

- Bohemia NY, US

International Classification:

G01N 21/64
G01N 33/483

Abstract:

Embodiments of a cell culture monitoring system are disclosed that may include a device having collimating and filtering components to elicit and detect fluorescence from a substrate located within a reaction vessel. The device may be used to detect changes in pH and dissolved oxygen levels in a liquid contained in the reaction vessel due to growth of living cells. Excitation light beams can be generated and collimated by a beam combiner and directed into the reaction vessel so as to be incident upon the substrate to cause the substrate to fluoresce. Some embodiments include use of expected wavelength offsets and shifted filters/mirrors to improve functionality and reduce space of device components.
