Publication number: 20210080651Abstract: A cleaving mechanism (20) and related method is adapted to cleave an optical fiber (10) and thereby produce a cleaved end on the optical fiber. The cleaving mechanism (20) includes a fixture (40), a cleave tool (60) for cleaving the optical fiber, and a clamp assembly (80). The clamp assembly (80) may hold the optical fiber without substantial twisting of the optical fiber (10). The fixture and/or the clamp assembly (80) may include a pair of leaf springs (92) that contact and bend around the optical fiber (10) to secure the optical fiber (10) in a clamped position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2018Publication date: March 18, 2021Applicant: COMMSCOPE CONNECTIVITY BELGIUM BVBAInventors: Jozef Christiaan Mathieu VERSLEEGERS, Marc Eugène Willem BERVOETS

Patent number: 9867599Abstract: An interventional device, e.g. a Vacuum Assisted Biopsy (VAB) needle, incorporating optical fibers such that biological tissue in a volume at a side of the interventional device can be substantially completely optically probed by optical spectroscopy. In a VAB embodiment, a plurality of optical fiber pairs connected to respective optical ports, are placed at opposite positions along the suction cavity, and they are readout subsequently allowing to make a map of the tissue properties along the place where the tissue will be cut by the VAB needle. Based on decision software in an optical console, it can be determined whether the tissue present in the cutting cavity is completely normal tissue or not, prior to actually performing the biopsy on the tissue. In this way a well defined end point for VAB is created.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2013Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Bernardus Hendrikus Wilhelmus Hendriks, Christian Reich, Waltherus Cornelis Jozef Bierhoff, Manfred Mueller, Franciscus Marinus Antonius Maria Van Gaal, Jozef Christiaan Mathieu Versleegers, Vishnu Vardhan Pully, Sven Stoffelen

Patent number: 9063108Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling system that can particularly be applied for interfacing a consumable component with a sample chamber to a laboratory instrument for processing a sample fluid. The coupling system comprises a female interface module (10) integrated into the consumable component that has an elastic sealing component (12) with a preformed channel (12a). Moreover, it comprises a male interface module (20) integrated into the instrument and comprising a hollow needle (23) fixed in a first section (22a) of a bush (22), wherein the flexible free end of said needle (23) is partially surrounded by a second section (22b) of the bush that limits the lateral movement of the needle. The diameter of the channel in the sealing component (12) is preferably smaller than the diameter (d) of the needle (23), thus providing an airtight connection and a self-cleaning effect.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Arnold Aalders, Adrianus Wilhelmus Dionisius Maria Van Den Bijgaart, Jozef Christiaan Mathieu Versleegers, Ronald Cornelis De Gier, Petrus Henricus Maria Timmermans

Patent number: 8151501Abstract: A wrap display system (50) employs a stick (70), a flexible display (60) structurally configured to be wrapped around the stick (70), and a hinged frame structurally configured to support the flexible display (60). The flexible display (60) is wrapped around the stick (70) for facilitating a storage of the flexible display (60) and unwrapped from around the stick (70) for facilitating an operation of the flexible display. The hinged frame has a curvilinear configuration for fixing the flexible display (60) in a storage position relative to the stick (70) in response to the flexible display (60) being wrapped around the stick (70), and a planar configuration for fixing the flexible display (60) in an operational position relative to the stick (70) in response to the flexible display (60) being unwrapped from around the stick (70).Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Creator Technology B.V.Inventors: David J.
