Patent number: 11971600Abstract: A method organizes fibers. A plurality of fibers is received into a first assembly. An initial sequence of the plurality of fibers in the first assembly is obtained. A set of key combinations is identified from the initial sequence and a predetermined sequence. A second assembly is slid across the first assembly. The set of key combinations is actuated to move the plurality of fibers from the first assembly to the second assembly and order the plurality of fibers in the second assembly in the predetermined sequence.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: viaPhoton, Inc.Inventors: Walter Mark Hendrix, Morgan Dunn

Publication number: 20240123562Abstract: A method for polishing fibers implements a fiber polishing system. The method includes manipulating a disk, spraying water using a first water pressure, and spraying air using an air pressure. The method further includes misting low pressure water using a second water pressure, manipulating a handle, and manipulating one or more dogs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: viaPhoton, Inc.Inventor: Morgan Dunn

Publication number: 20230408772Abstract: Systems and methods implement furcation tube vacuum assist. A furcation tube is annealed. The furcation tube is inserted into an adapter fitted to a vacuum line. A vacuum is applied to the furcation tube. One or more communication cables are moved through the furcation tube while the vacuum is applied.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: viaPhoton, Inc.Inventor: Morgan Dunn

Patent number: 11340383Abstract: A compound lens assembly and method for making a compound lens assembly useful for deep ultraviolet lithography are described. The compound lens assembly includes a first lens component having an optical surface bonded to an optical surface of a second lens component. The bonding at the interface can be achieved using a hydroxide catalysis bonding technique. The compound lens assembly and process for making same solve problems relating to constringence and/or inherent birefringence known for conventional optical elements used in deep ultraviolet lithography or inspection of wafers or reticles in the DUV.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Michael Morgan Dunn, Todd Robert McMichael, Paul Francis Michaloski, Mark Ranney Westcott

Patent number: 11280978Abstract: The method of aligning a cylindrical lens in a lens assembly includes attaching the cylindrical lens to a lens fixture and interfacing the lens fixture to a support structure in which the cylindrical lens can be placed in a frontwards and backwards orientation. The method also includes capturing respective first and second line images of respective first and second focus lines as formed by the cylindrical lens in the forwards and backwards orientations. The method further includes establishing a relative orientation of the first and second line images and using the established relative orientation to determine an amount of angular misalignment of the cylindrical lens relative to a reference direction provided by the support structure. The method can include rotating the cylindrical lens relative to the lens fixture to reduce the amount of angular misalignment to be within an angular alignment tolerance.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Michael Morgan Dunn, Kevin John Magierski, Brian Monroe McMaster, Paul Francis Michaloski, Duncan Christopher Spaulding

Patent number: 7809158Abstract: A system for detection of doubles in a stream of flat items such as mail pieces being conveyed on a conveyor includes an electronic imaging camera positioned to receive an image of a side face of conveyed items over a first portion of its field of view, a reflector positioned to reflect an edge view of the items to the imaging camera, which edge view is received by the imaging camera over a second portion of its field of view, and a computer that receives image data from the camera. Program logic used by the computer determines whether the image shows one item, or more than one item.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2006Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Siemens Industry, Inc.Inventors: Michael D. Carpenter, Morgan Dunn, John J. Mampe
