  • System for bending polymer or glass optical wave guides
    Patent number: 6801701
    Abstract: A bend (B) in a wave guide (G) is formed having two angled cuts (201, 202) on either side of a middle pivot point (207). The angled cuts (201, 202) extend through a first side of a cladding layer (101) of the wave guide formed with at least one inner layer (102) and one outer layer (101). The wave guide (G) is then bent at the angled cuts about the middle pivot point (207) to make a desired angle bend. The middle pivot point (207) has a reflective angled surface (401) such that light (404) propagating through the wave guide (G) will be reflected and turned at the desired angle.

  • CROSS CONNECT VIA FOR MULTILAYER PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS
    Publication number: 20040108137
    Abstract: A printed circuit board (B) with a mechanical attachment of connector pins (42a and 42b) to opposite sides of the same plated through location (34) maintains electrical isolation between the board sides (14 and 16). A sequence of controlled depth drilling steps creates a hole (34) through the printed circuit board (B) with multiple diameters (20, 24, 30 and 40).
