Publication number: 20250229302Abstract: A device for cleaning an end face of an optical fiber may receive a first pressure signal from a first pressure sensor, wherein the device includes a pneumatic circuit, wherein the pneumatic circuit includes: one or more circuit components, the first pressure sensor, and a second pressure sensor. The device may receive a second pressure signal from the second pressure sensor. The device may determine, based on the first pressure signal and the second pressure signal, whether a pressure difference across a circuit component, of the one or more circuit components, satisfies a threshold. The device may perform, based on the pressure difference across the circuit component not satisfying the threshold, one or more actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2025Publication date: July 17, 2025Inventors: Gordon MacKAY, Kevin CASSADY, Peter KRIOFSKE, William Shawn ROSENAU, Brad BASLER

Publication number: 20250044567Abstract: A device may capture, using a camera associated with a microscope, a first image of interstitial material associated with a first set of optical fibers in a field of view of the camera. The device may perform a comparison of the first image of interstitial material and a second image of interstitial material associated with a second set of optical fibers. The device may determine that the first set of optical fibers does not include an expected set of optical fibers based on a result of performing the comparison. The device may determine an amount by which to adjust the field of view of the camera based on the result of performing the comparison. The device may perform one or more actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: Jay BRACE, Gordon MacKAY, Andre LAVRENTYEV
