Patents by Inventor Jane E. Novacek

Jane E. Novacek has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Assembly for aligning an optical array with optical fibers
    Patent number: 6860650
    Abstract: An electro-optical converter assembly is described. The electro-optic converter includes an optically transparent substrate with a plurality of alignment apertures and an optical device disposed on a first planar surface of the optically transparent substrate in alignment with the plurality of alignment apertures so that an axis of transmission of the optical device passes directly through the optically transparent substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 2, 2002
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2005
    Assignee: Corona Optical Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Ronald Kunkel, David Barneson, Jane E. Novacek, Steven C. Nelson, Randy W. Wickman, Jagdish T. Madhav
  • Optical attenuating underchip encapsulant
    Patent number: 6724015
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for providing an electro-optic interface for exchanging information signals. The method includes the steps of disposing an optical array adjacent a first side of an optically transparent substrate, such that a plurality of transmission paths of the optical array pass directly through the substrate, applying an optically transparent underfill between the substrate and adjacent optical array with the plurality of transmission paths of the optical array passing directly through the underfill and coupling a plurality of optical signals of the optical array through the optically transparent underfill and optically transparent substrate between the optical array and an optical connector.
