Abstract: The device includes a first optical fiber, a second optical fiber, a first transmitting optical subassembly, a second transmitting optical subassembly, a first receiving optical subassembly, a second receiving optical subassembly, a first circuit board, a second circuit board, a first amount of over-molding material, and a second amount of over-molding material.

Abstract: The device includes a housing, a locking and release mechanism, an electrical connector, an optical connector, and pathological circuitry. The housing has a top, a bottom, a front, and a back. The locking and release mechanism is attached to the housing. The electrical connector is attached to the back of the housing. The optical connector is attached to the front of the housing. The pathological circuitry handles pathological conditions associated with digital video signals.

Abstract: The device includes a first optical connector, a second optical connector, a flexible substrate, a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector, a memory chip, and a clip. The first electrical connector is attached to the flexible substrate. The second electrical connector is attached to the flexible substrate. The memory chip is attached to the flexible substrate. A clip retains the first optical connector and the second optical connector adjacent to the flexible substrate.

Abstract: A pluggable video module (PVM) having a housing with a top, a bottom, a front and a back; a locking and release mechanism proximate the front of the module for securing the module within a host device; an electrical connector proximate the back of the module for electrically connecting the module to a host device; an optical connector proximate the front of the module for receiving an optical connector; and a key slot on the bottom and proximate the rear of the module for receiving a key tab from a host device, thereby allowing the module to be inserted into a host receptacle having a key tab.

Abstract: The device includes a housing, a printed circuit board, a first optical subassembly, a second optical subassembly, and a lever. The device is pluggable to a host structure. The housing has a channel and ground spring fingers. The printed circuit board has contact traces and is mounted to the housing. The first and second optical subassemblies are mounted to the printed circuit board. The lever is rotatably mounted to the housing. The lever includes a rotatably mounted portion, a free end, and an actuation surface for actuation by a user. The free end of the lever forms a hook. In a locked position of the device to the host structure, the ground spring fingers contact and make electrical contact with a faceplate of the host structure, and the hook engages a slot of a circuit board of the host structure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assisting in the performance of maintenance, repair and emergency services. An integrated field support system is connectable to a customer support center. The integrated field support system comprises a portable platform (a computer), a group of peripheral devices, and a communications interface for accessing the customer support center. The field system allows field personnel to receive displays of documentation, graphics and other pictorial displays, and to issue commands orally for interpretation by a speech recognition unit. The connection to the customer support center provides personnel in that center with all data available to the field personnel and vice versa. Advantageously, this method and apparatus allow field personnel to receive the information they need to perform their tasks in an optimal fashion.
