  • Patent number: 10367596
    Abstract: A multiple wavelength selective switch has an optics assembly to receive a first input optical signal from a first ingress port and a second input optical signal from a second ingress port. A switch assembly has a single switching mechanism to direct the first input optical signal to the optics assembly as a first output optical signal and the second input optical signal to the optics assembly as a second output optical signal. The switch assembly directs the first output optical signal to a first egress port selected from the first set of egress ports and directs the second output optical signal to a second egress port selected from the second set egress ports. The first egress port and the second egress port have the same wavelength channel. The multiple wavelength selective switch supports an arbitrary number of wavelength channels that can be switched at the same time. Each switch assembly directs signals from a set of ingress ports to a set of egress ports sharing the same wavelength channel.

  • Patent number: 6969115
    Abstract: An adjustable lumbar support assembly for a seat has a curved lumbar support member that is made from a plastic material and an adjustment mechanism operatively connected to the curved lumbar support member for adjusting between various degrees of curvature. The curved lumbar support member may include a plurality of reinforcing ribs that allow a greater degree of curvature adjacent one end of the element than the degree of curvature adjacent the other end of the element. The reinforcing ribs allow for varying degrees of curvature because the cross section of the ribs varies. Further, the reinforcing ribs are integral with the curved lumbar support member. The adjustable lumbar assembly could also include at least one resilient metal strap connected to the curved lumbar support member that allows a greater degree of curvature adjacent one end of the curved lumbar support member than the degree of curvature adjacent the other end of the element.
