Abstract: An optical element ( 3 ) is mechanically retained within a slot of ( 2 ) in a rigid substrate ( 1 ), e.g. of a ceramic or crystalline material, by contact with the sides of the slot. Where the difference between a dimension of the optical element and the slot width at ambient temperature is a very small and positive, it may be removed by heating the substrate and/or cooling the element (differential thermal expansion) to allow insertion of the element. Then the temperature difference is removed so that the element is mechanically retained under compression by the slot sides. Alternatively, where the element may be directly inserted so that it is in contact with or immediately adjacent the slot wall, the material of the substrate and/or the optical element is the oxidized in the region of contact so as to increase the dimension of the oxidized material and mechanically retain the element. Either technique is applicable to parallel sides slots, but the element may be additionally or alternatively mechanically retained by shaping the edges of the slot. The fibre ( 3 ) shown may be butted against a second fibre, or coupled to a guide or other element within the substrate.

Abstract: Facile changing and updating of a first module ( 101 ) of a platform ( 100 ) is achieved despite the fact that a parameter required for execution of the first module depends both upon which version of the first module ( 101 ) and which version of a second module ( 102 ) is included in the platform. Reconfiguration of the platform occasioned by the changing and/or updating of the first module is facilitated by having both the first module and a second module maintain respective pre-revision parameter arrays ( 111, 112 ) for the multi-module dependent parameter. The pre-revision parameter arrays comprises sets of parameter candidate values for plural combinations of versions of the first module and versions of the second module. When one of the first module and the second module is to become a revised module by replacement with a new version (e.g., the new version of the revised module), a revised parameter array ( 111' ) is also provided for the revised module. After reconfiguration, one of the parameter candidate values in the third set of parameter candidate values is selected as qualifying as an appropriate parameter value for use in conjunction with the modules of the platform. In an example implementation, one of the first module and the second module can be a hardware module while the other of the first module and the second module is a software module. Moreover, one example environment of implementation is a telecommunications platform, such as (for example) a node of a radio access network (RAN).

Abstract: A quick connecting universal electrical box system for the mounting of electrical sockets, switches or any electronic or communication component that is typically installed into a wall is disclosed. The system comprises a mounting frame and an electrical box, which can be pre-wired with any socket unit or component, such that installation of the electrical box into a wall is greatly simplified. The mounting frame is first inserted into a wall, followed by insertion of the electrical box into the mounting frame. The action of inserting the electrical box into the mounting frame forces flaps in the mounting frame to engage and lock the mounting frame into the wall. Retaining studs formed on flexible side panels of the electrical box then engage with corresponding openings in the mounting frame to secure the electrical box within the mounting frame. Secure installation of this electrical box is simple and quick without the need for any tools or fastening screws. <IMAGE>
