Title: Termination of fiber optic cable
Inventor: DOWD EDWARD M
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2008-07-02
Granted: 2011-11-01
Abstract: Apparatus and methods provide for cables with secured terminations. For some embodiments, a cable includes an inner tube surrounding an optical fiber, an aluminum tube surrounding the inner tube, and armor tubing surrounding the aluminum tube. The aluminum tube resists collapse of the inner tube at bends in the cable, inhibits or prevents hydrogen from reaching the fiber, and facilitates termination of the cable. For example, terminating the cable may include crimping the armor tubing to deform the aluminum tube into gripping engagement with an outside of the inner tube and an inside of the armor tubing. In some embodiments, a retention assembly secures the fiber relative to the inner tube and includes a retention tube secured to the inner tube and a packing sleeve squeezed into gripping engagement with the fiber by radial inward deformation of the retention tube where the packing sleeve is disposed in the retention tube.

Abstract: There is disclosed an optical radiation sensor system for detecting radiation from a radiation source. The system comprises: a housing having a distal portion for receiving radiation from the radiation source and a proximal portion; a sensor element in communication with the proximal portion, the sensor element configured to detect and respond to incident radiation received from the radiation source; and motive means configured to move the housing with respect to the sensor element between at least a first position and a second position. A radiation pathway is defined between the radiation source and the sensor element when the housing is in at least one of the first position and the second position. Movement of the housing with respect to the sensor element causes a modification of intensity of radiation impinging on the sensor element. In its highly preferred embodiment, the radiation sensor system is of a modular design rendering the sensor system appropriate for use with one or more of various radiation sources, fluid thickness layers and/or in UVT conditions. In this highly preferred form, the sensor system may have built-in diagnostics for parameters such as sensor operation, radiation source output, fluid (e.g., water) UVT, radiation source fouling (e.g., fouling of the protective sleeves surrounding the radiation source) and the like. Other advantages of the present radiation sensor system include: incorporation of an integrated reference sensor, safe and ready reference sensor testing, UVT measurement capability and/or relatively low cost and ease of manufacture.

Abstract: An analytical test strip includes a substrate and a reagent layer disposed on a portion of the substrate. The reagent layer includes an enzymatic reagent ink comprising an amount of hydrophobic silica material, an amount of surfactant; and an amount of enzyme. The amounts of the hydrophobic silica material and the surfactant in the enzymatic reagent ink is predetermined using a first relationship and a second relationship. The first relationship is between wetability of a representative hydrophobic silica material and at least a first calibration characteristic of an analytical test strip that includes an enzymatic reagent ink containing the representative hydrophobic silica material. In addition, the first relationship defines a minimum wetability that provides an acceptable first calibration characteristic. The second relationship defines wetability of a mixture of the hydrophobic silica material and the surfactant across a range of relative amounts of the hydrophobic silica material and the surfactant. The predetermined amounts of the hydrophobic silica material and the surfactant employed in the enzymatic reagent ink provide at least the minimum wetability defined by the first relationship during manufacturing of the enzymatic reagent ink and, therefore, an acceptable first calibration characteristic.
