US Patent:
6132104, Oct 17, 2000
Filed:
Nov 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/451751
Inventors:
Jody T. Bliss - Rock Stream NY
Edward F. Murphy - Painted Post NY
Todd M. Wetherill - Painted Post NY
Assignee:
Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:
G02B 636, H01S 302
US Classification:
385 53
Abstract:
A detachable plug-in pump laser card assembly for placement into an optical fiber amplifier, comprising: a printed circuit board, a heat sink, a pump laser, a first half plug-in member of an optical connector, a second half plug-in member of an electrical connector and a reel having an optical fiber wrapped there around. The heat sink is substantially parallel to the printed circuit board and is separated from the printed circuit board by spacers. The pump laser is connected to one side of the heat sink, which has a plurality of fins on an opposite side from where the pump laser is connected. The first half plug-in member of the optical connector and the second half plug-in member of the electrical connector are each secured to the printed circuit board and are located at an insertion end of the pump laser card assembly. The reel is disposed between the printed circuit board and the heat sink and the optical fiber wrapped around the reel has a first end connected to the pump laser and a second end connected to the first half plug-in member of the optical connector. The detachable plug-in pump laser card assembly is plugged into a port located on a base plate of the optical fiber amplifier, where the first half plug-in member of the optical connector optically engages with a mating member and where the second half plug-in member of the electrical connector electrically engages with a mating member.

Multi-Screen Electronic Device

US Patent:
2012021, Aug 23, 2012
Filed:
Feb 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/033068
Inventors:
William Edward Lock - Horseheads NY, US
Donnell Thaddeus Walton - Painted Post NY, US
Kevin Lee Wasson - Elmira NY, US
Todd Marshall Wetherill - Painted Post NY, US
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345 13
Abstract:
A multi-screen electronic device includes a first electronic device having a first electronic device screen and a second electronic device having a second electronic device screen. The first and second electronic device screens are stacked and on different planes when the multi-screen electronic device is in a compact form. The first and second electronic device screens are unstacked and on the same plane when the multi-screen electronic device is in an expanded form. A translation mechanism is coupled to the first and second electronic devices. The translation mechanism is configured to guide a motion of at least one of the first and second electronic devices along a nonlinear path such that a travel along the nonlinear path in a forward direction transforms the multi-screen electronic device from the compact form to the expanded form and a travel along the nonlinear path in a reverse direction transforms the multi-screen electronic device from the expanded form to the compact form.

Dispersion Compensation Module

US Patent:
6996322, Feb 7, 2006
Filed:
Nov 20, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/719390
Inventors:
Kevin W. Bennett - Hammondsport NY, US
Paul O. Johnson - Corning NY, US
Paul C. Trifoso - Corning NY, US
Todd M. Wetherill - Painted Post NY, US
Assignee:
Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:
G02B 6/00
US Classification:
385135, 385137
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a dispersion compensation module of extremely simple design that does not rely on a spool-and-hub or similar device for holding the optical fiber used in the module, such module being here termed a “Free-Fiber dispersion compensation module”. In the inventive dispersion compensation module the optical fiber therein is in a relaxed coiled configuration having minimal tension. It has also been discovered that while coil tension is relieved by removing it from the winding spool prior to placing it in the dispersion compensation module, the tension can be further relieved by coating the coiled fiber with a finely powdered substance which will not react with or otherwise harm or damage wither the fiber or the module containing it, for example, talcum powder.
