摘要:
A cable connection component is receivable in a housing of a host information handling device for coupling to a circuit of the host device. The component has a status light and a light guide configured, in use with the component at least partially received in the host housing, to guide light from the status light to provide indications visible externally of the host housing. A connection device, a cable end connector and an SFP-type or SFF-type transceiver body are also disclosed.

There is provided a system for identifying a plurality of components via an RFID reader with an associated database and processing element. The system includes a first component with an associated first RFID transponder and a second component with an associated second RFID transponder. A third RFID transponder may be associated with the first component, wherein either the first or third RFID transponder includes stored information relating to both transponders. The first and second RFID transponders are adapted to communicate with the RFID reader to enable identification of the connection of the first component to the second component. One of the RFID transponders may be adapted to identify the other RFID transponder and store the identification information for subsequent communication to the RFID reader of identification information for both RFID transponders and the associated components. The system is adapted to create a map of the two or more components, such as components of telecommunications equipment.

An optical-fiber-network (OFN) radio-frequency identification (RFID) system for deploying and/or maintaining an OFN. The system includes a plurality of OFN components, and at least one RFID tag that includes RFID tag data that has at least one property of the OFN component associated with the RFID tag. The RFID tag data is written to and read from the RFID tags prior, during or after deploying the OFN components. An OFN-component-data database unit is used to store and process the RFID tag data. This allows for different maps of the OFN to be made, such as an inventory map and a maintenance map. The OFN-RFID system allows for automated operations and management of OFN components by service personnel, and provides for faster and more accurate OFN system deployment and maintenance.

There are provided connectors, cables, cable assemblies, network components, and systems wherein optically addressed RFID functionality is incorporated. Also provided are optically addressed RFID elements in general. The RFID elements utilize an optical tap to direct a portion of the optical signal traveling through an optical fiber to a transducer. The transducer creates an electrical signal which may be used to write information to an integrated circuit of, transmit an RF signal to, and/or provide power to the RFID element.

A two-fiber ring architecture capable of carrying multiple wavelength channels and allowing client self-healing of single point failures. The ring architecture includes a two-fiber optical ring carrying at least one wavelength channel, wherein the wavelength channel has working traffic and protection traffic. The optical ring can include a single ring, two interconnected rings, or multiple interconnected rings. Specifically, the ring architecture includes a first client networking element connected to the optical ring by a first pair of 2×2 add drop matrices and a second client networking element connected to the optical ring by a second pair of 2×2 add drop matrices. At least one interconnect node is also provided when more than one ring is used, wherein the interconnect node has a first 2×2 interconnect matrix and a second 2×2 interconnect matrix. The first 2×2 interconnect matrix routes the working traffic from the first client networking element to the second client networking element. Similarly, the second 2×2 interconnect matrix routes the protection traffic from the second client networking element to the first client networking element. The optical ring includes a first access ring, an inter-office (IOF) ring, and a second access ring. Access rings are connected to the IOF ring by the aforementioned interconnect nodes.
摘要:
An optical switch is disclosed which relies only on a rotatable, reflective concave surface (3) to couple light between an optical source (1) and a preselected one of a plurality of optical receptors (6). The switch is bidirectional, i.e., the position of the source(s) and receptor(s) can be interchanged. Optical fibers may be used as the source(s) and receptor(s). The source, however, may also be chosen from such devices as lasers, light-emitting diodes or any other optical source known to those skilled in the art. Similarly, avalanche photodiodes or the like may be used as optical receptors.The above switch structure requiring only a reflective element is particularly suitable for switching light signals in telecommunication applications. The elimination of the need for a refractive element, such as a lens, provides a structure in which the output signal is independent of wavelength and index of refraction.
摘要:
Delivery systems and methods are provided for delivering a biologically active protein to a host animal. The systems and methods provided include obtaining an algal cell transformed by an expression vector, the expression vector comprising a nucleotide sequence coding for the biologically active protein, operably linked to a promoter. In one illustrated embodiment, the biologically active protein is an antigenic epitope and upon administration to the animal the algal cell induces an immune response in the host animal.
