Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining an atmosphere inside a habitat enclosing a work station and shutting down one, more than one, or all operational equipment inside and/or outside the habitat upon the occurrence of an adverse event. Concentrations of explosive, flammable, and/or poisonous gases or vapors are sensed, transmitted to a logic device, as are temperature, pressure, and/or humidity. HVAC units and air extraction units controlled by the logic device maintain acceptable pressure, temperature, and/or humidity. Any grit and dust may be extracted. Any explosive, flammable, and/or poisonous gases or vapors are extracted employing an emergency gas extraction sub-system controlled by the logic device. The logic device shuts down one, more than one, or all operational equipment inside and/or outside the habitat (for example as dictated by the client, law, or regulation) upon receiving one or more adverse event signals.

Abstract: An apparatus for retaining optical components in a planar configuration has a lens and an electro-optic component. The lens is optically coupled to the optical components. The electro-optic component is coupled to a support member. Alignment of the lens with the electro-optic component is performed by directly positioning the lens to maximize the transfer of optical energy from the lens to the electro-optic component. No optical fibers need be directly manipulated to perform the alignment, thus allowing for alignment of optical components with electro-optical components using the same procedures and equipment as used for aligning optical components with optical components.

Abstract: An assembly for housing optical components includes sides formed of an optically transmissive material, such as anti-reflective glass. Optical energy interacts with optical components retained within the assembly via the optically transmissive material. Collimated lens assemblies, which are attached to optical fibers, are adhesively attached to the optically transmissive sides. This assembly is especially amenable to an automated assembly process because it allows easy alignment of the collimated lens assembly with optical components retained within the assembly, and adherence of the collimated lens assembly to the optically transmissive side thereafter.

Abstract: A bend limiting apparatus for use in an automated assembly process of optical components in a planar configuration uses bend limiting tubing and support members. Optical fibers are positioned axially within the bend limiting tubing. The bend limiting tubing is supported by a support member. The optical fibers are attached to a collimated lens assembly. The bend limiting tubing may be coupled to the optical fibers by a pliable adhesive. The bend limiting tubing may also be coupled to the support member by an adhesive such as epoxy. Furthermore, an upper portion may be utilized to provide additional support.
