| 20100159132 | Linear Deposition Source - A deposition source includes a plurality of crucibles that each contains a deposition material. A heat shield provides at least partial thermal isolation for at least one of the plurality of crucibles. A body is included with a plurality of conductance channels. An input of each of the plurality of conductance channels is coupled to an output of a respective one of the plurality of crucibles. A heater increases a temperature of the plurality of crucibles so that each crucible evaporates the deposition material into the plurality of conductance channels. An input of each of a plurality of nozzles is coupled to an output of one of the plurality of conductance channels. Evaporated deposition materials are transported from the crucibles through the conductance channels to the nozzles where the evaporated deposition material is ejected from the plurality of nozzles to form a deposition flux. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100282167 | Linear Deposition Source - A deposition source includes a crucible for containing deposition material and a body comprising a conductance channel. An input of the conductance channel is coupled to an output of the crucible. A heater heats the crucible so that the crucible evaporates the deposition material into the conductance channel. A heat shield comprising a plurality of heat resistant material layers is positioned around at least one of the heater and the body. A plurality of nozzles is coupled to an output of the conductance channel so that evaporated deposition material is transported from the crucible through the conductance channel to the plurality of nozzles where the evaporated deposition material is ejected from the plurality of nozzles to form a deposition flux. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100285218 | Linear Deposition Source - A deposition source includes at least one crucible for containing deposition material. A body includes a conductance channel with an input coupled to an output of the crucible. A heater increases a temperature of the crucible so that the crucible evaporates the deposition material into the conductance channel. A plurality of nozzles is coupled to an output of the conductance channel so that evaporated deposition material is transported from the crucible through the conductance channel to the plurality of nozzles where the evaporated deposition material is ejected from the plurality of nozzles to form a deposition flux. At least one of the plurality of nozzles includes a tube that is positioned proximate to the conductance channel so that the tube restricts an amount of deposition material supplied to the nozzle including the tube. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20090074372 | TELECOMMUNICATIONS CONNECTION CABINET - A telecommunications connection cabinet includes a termination region, a fiber optic splitter mounting location, and a predetermined connector storage region positioned within an interior of a housing. The termination region includes telecommunications adapters, each telecommunications adapter being configured for coupling together two fiber optic connectors such that an optical interconnection is made between the two fiber optic connectors. The connector storage region is spaced from the termination region. The storage region defines openings allotted to removably mount connector storage housings at the connector storage region. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090087157 | FIBER OPTIC CONNECTOR HOLDER AND METHOD - The present invention relates to a fiber optic connector holder sized to fit within an opening for mounting a fiber optic adapter. The fiber optic connector holder is configured to permit a fiber optic connector with a dust cap positioned about a ferrule and a polished end face of an optical fiber held by the ferrule to be inserted within and releasably held by the connector holder. The present invention further relates to a system for holding fiber optic connectors including a fiber optic connector holder mounted within an opening in a bulkhead for mounting a fiber optic adapter. The fiber optic connector holder is configured to receive a fiber optic connector with a dust cap mounted about a ferrule and polished end face of an optical fiber held by the ferrule. The present invention also relates to a method of holding an optical fiber connector to a bulkhead, when the fiber optic connector includes a dust cap mounted about a ferrule and a polished end face of an optical fiber held by the ferrule. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090152746 | MULTI-STAGE INJECTION OVER-MOLDING SYSTEM WITH INTERMEDIATE SUPPORT AND METHOD OF USE - An over-molding tool is provided for over-molding an over-mold onto a fiber optic cable assembly. The over-molding tool includes first and second mold tool sets. The first mold tool set applies a first portion of the over-mold onto the fiber optic cable assembly. The second mold tool set then applies a second portion of the over-mold onto the fiber optic cable assembly. In preferred embodiments, the first and the second portions of the over-mold fuse to each other. By employing the first and the second mold tool sets, the fiber optic cable assembly can be supported at closer intervals along its length when being over-molded in comparison to a single, longer mold tool set. In addition, a lower capacity injection pump can be used when applying the over-mold in two portions. In other embodiments, additional mold tool sets can be added that sequentially apply additional portions of the over-mold. | 06-18-2009 |
