Abstract: The present invention provides coating methods for use in the manufacture
of coated optical fibers. The coating methods of the present invention coat an
optical fiber (12) with a primary coating material (34) that has a non-reactive colorant. A
secondary coating material (36) is applied over the primary coating material. The
primary coating material may either be cured prior to application of the secondary
coating material or both the primary and secondary coating materials may be cured
at the same time to create primary and secondary coating layers over the optical
fiber. In one embodiment, the secondary layer is formed of a substantially
transparent material, visibly exposing the colored primary coating layer for
inspection and/or measurement (24).In this process, there is a first
coating system (20a) and curing stage (26a) for applying and curing a
primary layer and a second coating system (20b) and curing stage (26a)
located after the first coating system and curing stage for applying and
curing a secondary layer. The coating method may be used in a "wet on wet"
or "wet on dry" manufacturing process.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: A hardware-based file system includes multiple linked sub-modules that perform functions ancillary to client data handling. Each sub-module is associated with a metadata cache. A doubly-rooted structure is used to store each file system object at successive checkpoints. Metadata is stored within an object and/or as a separate object. Provisions are made for allocating sparse objects. A delayed write feature is used for writing certain objects into non-volatile storage. Checkpoints can be retained as read only versions of the file system. Modifications to the file system are accomplished without affecting the contents of retained checkpoints. The file system can be reverted to a retained checkpoint. Multiple file servers can be interconnected as a cluster, and each file server stores requests from another file server. Interconnections between file servers can be dynamically modified. A distributed locking mechanism is used to control access to file system objects stored by the file servers.
