Publication number: 20230245993Abstract: A method including disposing a structural adhesive onto an elevated surface of a first chip that includes a cavity disposed below the elevated surface. The method includes contacting a carrier with the structural adhesive. The carrier includes a second chip that optically aligns with a lateral surface of the cavity. The method includes curing the structural adhesive so that the carrier and host chip are mechanically anchored. An apparatus includes a first chip including a cavity located between lateral walls of the first chip and a carrier mechanically anchored with the first chip at a top portion of the lateral walls. The carrier includes a second chip that optically aligns with the first chip at a side portion of one of the lateral walls. The first and second chips are free of contact at a bottom surface of the second chip and a bottom surface of the cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: Ciena CorporationInventors: Raphael Beaupré-Laflamme, François Pelletier, Louis-Philippe Bibeau

Patent number: 7900760Abstract: A multi-position clutch allows selectively coupling at least two of at least three rotatable shafts is described herein. The clutch comprises at least three cooperation elements respectively associated to one of the at least three rotatable shafts for selective engagement therebetween; the at least three cooperation elements are mounted to the at least three rotatable shafts so as to be sequentially positioned for selective coupling of at least two adjacent cooperation elements. An actuating mechanism is provided for selectively coupling at least two adjacent cooperation elements from the at least three cooperation elements.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2009Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: TM4 Inc.Inventors: Martin Houle, Pierre Blouin, Louis-Philippe Bibeau, Jianhong Xu

Patent number: 7641583Abstract: A first aspect of the present invention is concerned with a series hybrid drive train for a vehicle comprising a traction motor, an electric generator, a three-position clutch (20) and a controller. The three-position clutch allows the generator to be connected to an internal combustion engine (12) of the vehicle, to the traction motor or to remain freewheeling. In a second aspect of the present invention, a four-position clutch is used to further allow the internal combustion engine to be connected directly to the wheels to thereby yield a series/parallel drive train. A third aspect of the present invention is concerned with a method of operating such a hybrid drive train.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2004Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: TM4 Inc.Inventors: Martin Houle, Pierre Blouin, Louis-Philippe Bibeau, Jianhong Xu, Ghislain Lambert, Philippe Noël
