Title: Deck system with deck clip
Inventor: WEST RONALD R
IPC: E04B5/02
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: A deck system with a deck clip. The deck system includes deck boards in which receiving chambers are formed. The receiving chambers are formed in both opposing side edges of each deck board, and each chamber is defined in part by a lip edge. The deck boards are placed side by side during construction of a deck, closely spaced, such that the lip edges of adjacent deck boards define a narrow channel space therebetween in which a rotatable deck clip is placed. The clip has a first overhang member and an opposing second overhang member and is thereby wider in a first horizontal dimension and shorter in a second, perpendicular horizontal dimension, and is rotatably attached to the deck joists by a screw or other fastening device. When the clip is rotated into a first position, its first and second overhang members extend into the receiving chambers of adjacent deck boards and engage with the lip edges of each chamber to hold the deck boards securely in place upon the joists. Users may easily remove a deck board by simply rotating the clip ninety degrees to thereby move the overhang members of the clip into the channel space between the lip edges, and the deck boards are thereby released.

Title: High average power fiber laser system with phase front control
Inventor: KOMINE HIROSHI
IPC: H01S3/23
Filed: 1999-07-16
Abstract: A relatively high average power fiber laser system with phase control. The laser system includes a phased array of parallel fiber amplifiers coupled to a common master oscillator. An important aspect of the invention relates to the independently adjustable optical phase modulators for each of the fiber amplifiers. Various methods for phase modulation are contemplated, such as fast spatial light modulators (SLM) as well as in-line fiber phase modulators. Both types of phase modulation utilize a wavefront sensor for deriving feedback signals for phase control. Arbitrary phase profile information can be applied to the phase modulators to synthesize a desired output beam. Thus, the phase controlled fiber amplifier array functions as a synthetic aperture transmitter at optical frequencies. When combined with a beacon phase front sensor for atmospheric beam propagation, the phase modulator can encode phase conjugate information to compensate for atmospheric aberrations. Relative to other high power laser systems, the laser system in accordance with the present invention has lower power supply demand and cooling requirements which results in lower weight, volume and cost. The use of the fiber laser system in accordance with the present invention also permits greater flexibility in packaging with fewer discrete optics and a relatively simpler optical system design and well as being amenable to mass production.
