  • Patent number: 5485537
    Abstract: A single core optical fiber connector is disclosed in which an optical signal transmitting line between optical fibers is maintained or short-circuited with a low power loss by utilizing a sectional contact of a single core optical fiber. An elastic deformation energy of a polymer material is utilized so as to achieve the sectional contact for minimizing the loss, and precisely machined alignment devices are utilized so as to reduce the misalignment between the optical fibers, thereby improving the assemblability and the economy. The optical fiber sections which are lightly ground on a grinding paper are contacted by using a precisely machined alignment device and by utilizing the elastic deformation energy of the elastic ferrule. This contact is maintained by a coupling between a specially designed plug and an adaptor, thereby forming a structure of an optical fiber connector and an alignment device.

  • Patent number: 5448617
    Abstract: A method of processing an intelligent network service call in a service switching point (SSP) which has a DTMF processor and is connected to the originating local exchange/transit exchange to provide an intelligent network service. The SSP receives a digit from the other exchange in a R2MFC signalling mode to process a trunk signal from the other exchange upon generation of a trunk line seizure request from the other exchange. The SSP analyzes the received digit to check whether a call from the other exchange is a normal call or an intelligent network service call in which subscriber's information must be received in the middle of the service. If the call from the other exchange is the intelligent network service call, the SSP collects a calling number and a calling category from the other exchange, releases the R2MFC signalling mode and forms a speech path with the other exchange to communicate directly with a service user.
