  • Patent number: 7210858
    Abstract: An optical connector with memory function comprises memory function for storing respective identification information in order to readily and exactly perform separate control of respective control steps and further to obtain convenient handling of connectors. The optical connector with memory function 3 of the present invention is characterized by a memory function capable of untouchably performing, from outside thereof, writing-in and reading-out of necessary information. The memory function has a structure mounted on or mountable on the outer construction of a housing accommodating therein the optical connection portion of an optical connector plug in the optical connector with memory function.

  • Patent number: 6971895
    Abstract: A non-lock detector switch is provided on or near an adapter to be switched by a connector plug when the connector plug with memory function unit is coupled to the adapter having an antenna for accessing to the memory function unit. Accordingly, connection state of each connector can be directly and simultaneously detected by the switching operation of the detector switch at a time preceding a little from a time when the antenna detects the memory function unit just having closed to a position opposed to the antenna. This is useful for exactly and detecting without delay the complete coupling state of each one of a number of adapters in distinction from the incomplete coupling state of any one of adapters.

  • Patent number: 5300063
    Abstract: An ophthalmic laser apparatus has a proper exit angle from a probe to prevent a sclera from being damaged when the probe is used to treat an eye of a patient. A laser beam emitted from a laser oscillator is directed to a light cable receptacle connector by an optical system. The laser beam is directed to a delivery optical system or a probe by a light cable having a connecting part at one end thereof to be connected to the light cable receptacle connector. The probe is bent near an end thereof and the end of the probe is generally spherically shaped.
