Abstract: The invention in the simplest form is a low-profile optical waveguide assembly for interfacing a two-dimensional optoelectronic array to standard fiber bundles. The present invention serves both to bend light and fan out light-carrying guides and to transition from the optoelectronic array pitch to an industry standard pitch for connectorization. There are several embodiments considered herein, however the preferred embodiments are for an optical waveguide assembly that includes a waveguide housing supporting a plurality of waveguide sheets, each sheet includes an array of waveguides feeding a plurality of industry standard ferrules.

Abstract: A liquid spill containment system inserted into an open airflow structure such that minimum interference with existing airflow occurs while simultaneously directing liquid spill particles into spill containers. A deflector is located below an upper partition portion of the open airflow structure. Spill containers are positioned below the deflector. The deflector and containers are located with respect to each other such that liquid particles coming through the open airflow structure are directed by the deflector into a container while, simultaneously, airflow entering the open air structure is exited unimpeded.
