Abstract: A small volume prover (SVP) apparatus and method for providing variable volume calibration. The apparatus includes a precision bore cylinder and a piston configured with a valve arrangement in order to permit fluid to pass through an annular passage when the piston is traveling from one position to an opposite position. A position sensor and a pair of optical slot detectors can be integrated in association with the piston for continuously sensing an accurate position and stroke of the piston. The position sensor verifies the optical slot detectors at every run and provides calibration of flexible volumes as the fluid travels via the annular passage. The position sensor also checks the correct return of the piston after the flow stroke and detects the stuck mechanics. Such small volume prover apparatus associated with the position sensor can be employed for precise and fast position sensing of the piston and variable volume calibration of a fluid flow sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical fiber connector by which a worker can easily connect optical fibers at an in-site place, and in particular to an optical fiber connector which makes it possible to prevent the problems that an adhered state of a ferrule optical fiber installed in a ferrule is broken owing to a bending phenomenon occurring when an elastic member ferrule moves within an allowable (set) movement range owing to the nature of elastic force member or a connected state of a fusion connection part is damaged. The connector comprises a fibre (11) held in a ferrule (12) which will be spliced to a communication fibre. The ferrule is mounted to a ferrule bush (15) and biased forward by a spring (20) mounted to a stop ring (40) fixed to connector housing part (30). The fusion point of the fibres is protected by shrink sleeve (50) which is fiexed to an end of the ferrule bush and the jacket of the fibre to be fixed to th ferrule fibre. This shrink sleeve is surrounded by a boot (70) which is also fixed to the ferrule bush and at its opposite end is fixed to the strength members of the cable. Since the whole cable is thus moved when urging the spring, no bend is induced in the optical fibres.
