Abstract: A fiber cleaver (100) for cleaving an optical fiber (106). A monobloc fiber handling element (116) defines a pair of spaced apart fiber holding portions (120) each defining an elongated fiber receiving aperture (122) for receiving a respective part of the optical fiber (106) thereinto. The fiber handling element (116) is deformable between open, closed and tensing configurations. In the open configuration, the fiber receiving apertures (122) extend coaxially and the fiber receiving apertures (122) have an open width. In the closed configuration, the fiber receiving apertures (122) have a closed width smaller than the open width. In the tensing configuration, the fiber receiving apertures (122) have the closed width and an inter-aperture distance is larger than in the open and closed configurations. An actuator (104) is operatively coupled to the fiber handling element (116) for moving the latter between the open closed and tensing configurations.

Abstract: A side outlet device suitable for use in combination with a rainhead to form an overflow assembly is adapted to enable the rainhead to be mounted external to the building in relation to a wall of the building, to one side of a box guttering extending interiorly along the wall, whereby water flowing from the roof is able to pass through the side outlet device to a downpipe via the overflow device. The side outlet device has a respective end section at first and second opposite ends, with the first end section having a form corresponding to the form of a box gutter end section such that, with the side outlet device mounted in relation to the wall, the first end section extends through the wall and is receivable in the gutter receptor of the overflow device. The second end section is adapted for connection to the box guttering to enable water to flow from the box guttering and through the side outlet device to the overflow device.

Abstract: A method for printing includes analyzing print quality requirements for a printing area; adjusting settings for heater elements (e.g., energy and/or firing durations) of strobe lines based on the requirements analysis; and providing a plurality of individual strobe signals to the strobe lines. The strobe signals can be transmitted simultaneously, for example with a field-programmable gate array. Analyzing print quality requirements can include separating the printing area into one or more areas of interest, such as rows and/or columns. For each area of interest individual print quality settings (e.g., darkness, contrast, and/or media sensitivity) may be selected.
