Patent number: 7844154Abstract: An optical fiber adapted to carry optical power for powering an electrical device and also optionally adapted to carry optical data for signal processing. The optical fiber capable of carrying both optical data and optical power includes a central data waveguide region that carries data light and an annular power waveguide region concentrically surrounding the data waveguide region and adapted to carry relatively large amounts of optical power. A first annular isolation region between the data and power waveguide regions and that includes microstructures serves to optically isolate the waveguide regions. An outer annular isolation region serves to confine power light to the power waveguide region and contributes to the bend-resistance of the optical fiber. An optical power and optical data distribution system that utilizes the optical fiber is also described.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2008Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Dana Craig Bookbinder, Jeffrey Coon, Paulo Clóvis Dainese, Júnior, Ming-Jun Li, Pushkar Tandon

Publication number: 20070108753Abstract: An air bag (100) has an inflatable chamber (101,301) defined by a main front panel (102, 212) and a pair of side panels (104a, b; 224, 226). The air bag (100) has a vertically oriented recessed portion (110, 220) spanning along most of the length of the main panel or a limited section thereof. The recessed portion (110, 220) divides the air bag (100, 210) into two lower lobe portions (112a,b, 240, 242) on each side of the recessed portion. Upon inflation an internal tether (180, 250) is attached to the recessed portion and is anchored at or adjacent to the gas inlet passageway thereby limiting forward movement of the recessed portion upon inflation. The air bag is useful as a frontal air bag, particularly a passenger frontal air bag.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2006Publication date: May 17, 2007Applicant: Key Safety Systems, Inc.Inventors: Hyunsok Pang, Soonsik Kim, Jeffrey Coon

Publication number: 20050262002Abstract: A process, system and financial engine which determine a portfolio's sensitivity to market risk based on market conditions are described. In particular, with these process, system and financial engine, first data representative of time horizon information and second data representative of risk tolerance information are first received, and guidelines data based on the first and second data are established. Economic and market data underlying the quantitative indicators and factors determining the qualitative indicators are received. Market risk signals based on the indicator(s) is then established. The portfolio's sensitivity is determined based on the established guidelines data and the market risk signal. Using these process, system and financial engine, it is possible to determine the current market risk level, and then recommend changes to (or adjust) the user's portfolio market risk sensitivities based on the user's time horizon (i.e.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2004Publication date: November 24, 2005Inventors: William Manning, Jeffrey Coons, Michele McGinn
