Abstract: A modular control system for controlling an AGV includes an interface, a processor, a memory, and a plurality of programs. The plurality of programs include a task scheduling module, a sensor fusion module, a mapping module, and a localization module. The interface receives a command signal from an AGV management system and sensor signals from a plurality of sensors. The memory stores a surrounding map and the plurality of programs to be executed by the processor. The task scheduling module converts the command signal to generate an enabling signal. The sensor fusion module processes the received sensor signals according to the enabling signal and generates an organized sensor data. The mapping module processes the organized sensor data and the surrounding map to generate an updated surrounding map. The localization module processes the organized sensor data and the updated surrounding map to generate a location and pose signal.

Abstract: An optical fiber adapter includes an adapter body defining multiple first accommodation chambers and second accommodation chambers in opposing first mating portion and second mating portion thereof, a partition wall disposed between the first accommodation chambers and the second accommodation chambers, coupling portions respectively extended from the partition wall into the first accommodation chamber and the second accommodation chamber and two wings respectively vertically extended from opposing top and bottom sides of the partition wall, and ferrules respectively mounted in the coupling portions for guiding the optical fiber cores of each two respective optical fiber connectors into abutment for transmitting an optical signal. Subject to the design of the wings, a large number of optical fiber adapters can be closely mounted in a device housing having a limited width and height.

Abstract: To minimize the space requirement inside a cassette and make cable retention force consistent and easy for fiber routing/rework, a cassette includes a cassette base molded to include a plurality of holders, a cassette cover to close the cassette base, and a plurality of blocks, respectively disposed into the holders, each of the blocks including one or more holes to accommodate one or more fiber cables. The fiber cables are fixed in the holes using a type of adhesive. In addition, bare fibers are placed inside the cassette to communicate respectively with the fiber cables.
