  • Publication number: 20230194819
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for separating and installing optical fibers into furcation tubing. A fiber optic furcation assembly can include a fan-out structure. The fan out structure can include a conduit, and the conduit can extend from a first face of the fan-out structure to an opposing second face of the fan-out structure. The fiber optic furcation assembly can also include a furcation tube. The furcation tube can be positioned within the conduit, and the furcation tube can extend to a terminal end beyond the second face of the fan-out structure. The fiber optic furcation assembly can also include a fiber pull. The fiber pull can be positioned within the furcation tube, and the fiber pull can protrude in a first portion beyond the first face of the fan-out structure and the fiber pull can protrude in a second portion beyond the terminal end of the furcation tube, and the fiber optic furcation assembly can also include an attachment structure.

  • Patent number: 8485301
    Abstract: A vehicle has an operator monitoring system that includes an operator sensor configured to sense whether the operator is in a proper operating position within the operator cab and a control module connected to the operator sensor wherein when the vehicle is running and the operator sensor senses that the operator is not in the proper operating position, the control module activates safety features to stop the truck, including any one or a combination of activating the main brake, activating the parking brake, and/or shifting the transmission to a different setting.
