  • Publication number: 20240094476
    Abstract: Technologies for pluggable optical connectors are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an optical plug includes a ferrule with one or more optical fibers. The optical plug also includes a ferrule holder that holds the ferrule and a housing that encloses the ferrule and ferrule holder. The ferrule holder can move relative to the house, and the ferrule can move relative to the ferrule holder and the housing. As the optical plug is plugged into a socket, alignment features in the housing coarsely align the ferrule. Intermediate alignment features in the ferrule holder then engage, aligning the ferrule more precisely. As the optical plug is fully plugged in, fine alignment features in the ferrule engage, precisely aligning the ferrule and the optical fibers with the optical socket.

  • Patent number: 11932919
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a metal recovery process comprising a solvent extraction process. In an exemplary embodiment, the solution extraction system comprises a plant with a first and second circuit. A high-grade pregnant leach solution (“HGPLS”) is provided to the first and second circuit, and a low-grade pregnant leach solution (“LGPLS”) is provided to the second circuit. The first circuit produces a rich electrolyte, which can be forwarded to a primary metal recovery, and a low-grade raffinate, which can be forwarded to a secondary metal recovery process. The second circuit produces a rich electrolyte, which can also be forwarded to the primary metal recovery process. The first and second circuits are in fluid communication with each other.
