Patent number: 11435495Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a device comprising an upper housing, a lower housing, an electronics module, an electronics button, a side button, and a strip magnet. The strip magnet is coupled to the lower housing. The strip magnet is constructed to cause resistance to motion across a metal fastener. The resistance to motion is perceptible to a user of the device. The resistance is indicative of a location of the metal fastener and, thereby, allows the user of the device to locate the metal fastener if the electronics module fails to detect the metal fastener.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2021Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Inventor: Nick Rossi

Patent number: 11194097Abstract: A splice assembly for a fiber optic cable that has first and second fiber optic cable sections. The splice includes a filament alignment member configured to align an end portion of a first filament section of the first fiber optic cable section with an opposed end portion of a second filament section of the second fiber optic cable section; a first spring positioned adjacent the first end of the filament alignment member; a second spring positioned adjacent the second end of the filament alignment member; and a housing having a passage in which the first spring, filament alignment member and second spring are longitudinally positioned. The filament alignment member is longitudinally moveable relative to the housing by compression of one of the springs in a direction of travel of the filament alignment member against a corresponding stop feature.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: COTSWORKS, LLCInventors: Nick Rossi, Eugen Artemie

Patent number: 11079553Abstract: A terminus for a fiber optic cable has a ferrule with a fiber stub secured in a channel of the ferrule. The fiber stub has a polished forward end face. The fiber stub extends from a rearward end of the ferrule so that a rearward end face of the fiber stub is rearwardly spaced from the ferrule. An alignment member is axially aligned with the ferrule and has a channel extending between forward and rearward ends of the alignment member. The channel includes a fiber alignment portion in which the rearward end face of the fiber stub is received. The fiber alignment portion is statically configured to receive a forward end face of the filament of the fiber optic cable in opposed relationship to the rearward end face of the fiber stub and axially align the faces to each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: COTSWORKS, LLCInventors: Nick Rossi, Eugen Artemie

Patent number: 9885838Abstract: A fiber optic adapter including a housing, a deflectable member and a locking member. The housing has a longitudinal passage extending between a first opening at a first end of the housing and a second opening at a second end of the housing, and the housing is sized to fit within a fiber optic receptacle. The deflectable member is in the longitudinal passage of the housing and configured to retain a fiber optic terminus in the housing. The locking member is interfaced with the housing and is sized to fit within a retaining notch in the fiber optic receptacle to prevent separation of the housing from the receptacle. The adapter may be an in-line embedded adapter that does not introduce optical loss to optically and mechanically couple an LC receptacle and a terminus.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Cotsworks, LLCInventors: Nick Rossi, Eugen Artemie, Ken Applebaum

Patent number: 9678287Abstract: To improve the termination of a fiber optic cable, disclosed is an overboot assembly for a fiber optic terminus that retains a terminal end of the fiber optic cable in a receptacle. The overboot assembly provides strain relief to the fiber optic cable. Also, the overboot includes a removal member that is not separable from a fiber optic assembly of the fiber optic cable, the terminus and the overboot. The removal member may be advanced longitudinally relative to the terminus to manipulate a retaining member in the receptacle that latches the terminus in a connected state with the receptacle. Manipulation of the retaining member unlatches the terminus so that the terminus may be removed from the receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2016Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: COTSWORKS, LLCInventors: Nick Rossi, Eugen Artemie, Ken Applebaum
