Title: Means for coupling an optical fiber to an opto-electronic device
IPC: H01L31/0203
Filed: 1988-08-18
Abstract: The disclosed means for coupling an optical fiber (52) and an 
opto-electronic device (e.g., LED, laser, or photodetector) (40) comprises a first 
body (10) having two substantially parallel major surfaces, with a recessed portion 
(a "well") (11) formed in one surface, and a through-aperture extending from the 
other surface to the well. Conductive means (21, 24) extend from the former 
surface onto the bottom of the well, and the opto-electronic device typically is 
mounted in the well such that the device does not protrude above the plane of the 
associated surface, such that the electrical contact is established between the device 
and the conductive means, and such that the active region of the device is 
centered upon the through-aperture. The first body is advantageously produced 
from a (100) Si wafer by means of standard Si processing techniques, including 
selective etching. The assembly can be mounted on a substrate, e.g., a Si wafer 
with appropriate metallization thereon, and the end of an optical fiber inserted into 
the through-aperture and secured to the first body. The assembly can be operated 
at relatively high speed, due to its relatively low parasitic capacitance and 
inductance, and can be mounted on the substrate in substantially the same was as 
IC chips are mounted, in close proximity to associated electrical components.
Patent EP-0307206-A3 (EP)
IPC: B29C65/18
Filed: 1988-09-08
Abstract: A tubular heat recoverable article comprises conductive polymeric material and is heated to effect recovery by the passage of electrical current therethrough. Elongate electrodes are attached on the surface or embedded in longitudinal flanges extending along the article. The flanges also comprise conductive polymeric material but are not heat recoverable, and therefore remain substantially undeformed on recovery other than bending to accommodate transitions. This means that the contact resistance between the electrode and the conductive material of the flange does not increase significantly on recovery.

Title: Method and apparatus for shaping antiperspirant sticks and similar products
IPC: B26D7/10
Filed: 1989-02-24

Patent EP-0331190-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1989-03-03
Abstract: In a system interconnecting a LAN and an ISDN to which data 
terminals of the LAN are accessible through a common interface (4), a 
network-to-terminal LAPD packet is transmitted from the interface to the 
data terminals, containing a TEI value of group address, a destination 
address of a group address of the data terminals and an action indicator 
set to an assigned TEI value. The data terminal specified by the assigned 
TEI value transmits a packet containing the address of the interface and a 
TEI value equal to the assigned TEI value. In addition, the interface 
creates a table (42) describing a relationship 
between a TEI value and a source 
address both contained in a terminal-to-network LAPD packet. An address 
stored in the table is recalled in 
response to a TEI value contained in an 
LAPD signal from the network and entered to this LAPD signal as a 
destination address to form a network-to-terminal LAPD packet for 
transmission to the data terminals.

Abstract: Workpieces are processed in a vacuum chamber (10) having an opening 
(23) in a loading wall (32), means (204) to transfer workpieces 
within the chamber, a pressure plate (16) in the chamber adjacent 
the transfer means on the side of the transfer means opposite the 
loading wall and a ram (31) for moving the pressure plate (16) 
toward and away from the loading wall, there being lost motion 
abutment means (244,252) between the transfer means and the 
pressure plate means so that as the ram is moved towards the 
loading wall, the transfer means is compressed between the loading 
wall and the pressure plate means and when the ram is moved away 
from the loading wall, said pressure plate means is first moved 
away from the loading wall to provide a space between the pressure 
plate means and the transfer means and then continued movement of 
the pressure plate means moves said transfer means away from the 
loading wall as lost motion ceases between abutments (244, 252).

Title: Optical fiber connector
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 1990-02-08
Abstract: An optical fiber connector (10) can be assembled 
without an adhesive using a known combination of a grooved 
mount (22) and a sleeve (23) that can either grip or release a 
stripped end of an optical fiber (37, 38). The mount-sleeve 
combination is positioned within a housing which is open at 
one end to receive one or more stripped optical fibers and 
is formed at its other end with a tiny orifice (26) that is 
radially aligned with a groove (24) of the mount. After 
inserting a stripped optical fiber through the mount-sleeve 
combination and the orifice, the sleeve is allowed to grip 
the fiber, thus restraining it against longitudinal 
movement. Because of this restraint, the protruding 
portion of the fiber can be cleaved or polished along with 
the adjacent portions of the end cap. The housing 
preferably is formed by a thermoplastic shroud (12) and a 
ceramic end cap (14) in which the orifice is formed. The shroud 
preferably has an external latch (44) by which the connector can 
be disconnectably fastened to a receptacle in a single 
motion to make low-loss connections to other optical 
fibers.
