Title: Optical multiplexing/demultiplexing module
Inventor: YOON DAEYOUL
IPC: G02B6/10
Filed: 2001-07-25
Abstract: A first linearly polarized beam (14) which has exited a first optical waveguide (30) and which has been collimated by a first lens (24) and a second linearly polarized beam (16) which has exited a second optical waveguide (32) and which has been collimated by a second lens (26) enter an entrance surface (18) of a uniaxial birefringent crystal (10). The second linearly polarized beam (16) enters the uniaxial birefringent crystal (10) along an optical path which is changed by a prism (12). This reduces a separation width D which is the distance between the point of entrance of the first linearly polarized beam (14) entering the uniaxial birefringent crystal (10) and the point of entrance of the second linearly polarized beam (16) entering the uniaxial birefringent crystal (10). The first and second linearly polarized beams (14) and (16) which have entered the uniaxial birefringent crystal (10) are multiplexed at an exit surface (22) of the uniaxial birefringent crystal. A resultant multiplexed beam (20) is converged by a third lens (28) to enter and exit a third optical waveguide (39).

Title: Multi-function slot configuration for mounting differently configured shelf accessories to a shelf
Inventor: PUNZEL WILLIAM H
IPC: A47B57/58
Filed: 2002-01-07
Abstract: A shelf includes a slot or opening configuration for use in mounting different types of shelf accessories to the shelf. The slot or opening configuration includes an enlarged primary or central section and a pair of secondary or end sections extending in opposite directions from the primary section. The primary section of the opening receives an axially-extending mounting member associated with a shelf accessory, such as a fastener for mounting a bin divider or the mounting portion of a rod-type shelf divider. The secondary sections of the opening have a width less than the diameter of the fastener or mounting portion, so as to maintain the fastener or mounting portion within the primary area of the opening. A shelf accessory with a tab- type mounting arrangement, such as an upright shelf divider, is mounted to the shelf by positioning the tabs within the aligned secondary sections of the opening, and the tabs extend into and across the primary section. The slot or opening configuration is formed in place of conventional separate elongated slots and circular openings, which creates manufacturing and inventory efficiencies in reducing the overall numbers of different shelves to be manufactured and carried in inventory.
