  • Patent number: 7965943
    Abstract: An optical rotating data transmission device comprises a first collimator arrangement for coupling-on first light-waveguides, and a second collimator arrangement for coupling-on second light-waveguides, which is supported to be rotatable relative to the first collimator arrangement about a rotation axis. A Dove prism is provided between the collimator arrangements as a derotating element. Furthermore, the collimator arrangements pre provided with adapter elements having rotationally symmetrical conical faces. Prism adapter elements are disposed on the end faces of the Dove prism and have prism adapter elements on the sides facing the collimator arrangements. These also have rotationally symmetrical conical faces with a surface configuration that is inverse to that of the adapter elements of the collimator arrangements.

  • Patent number: 6021465
    Abstract: An arrangement has peripheral systems such as disc memory controllers or other device controllers used in the field of data technology. This allows a flexible design in such a manner that it is possible to match the controller designed using the arrangement to desired values in a simple manner in terms of performance, that is the throughput and the response time, failure reliability, the capability for expanding from very small to very large systems and the capability for connection to a large number of host systems (HS). The design is based on a specific combination of serial device buses to form ring circuits (RS) and high-performance buses (SPBP; SPBS), for example parallel buses, for linking relevant data transmission controllers (DS).
