Abstract: A method organizes fibers. A plurality of fibers is received into a first assembly. An initial sequence of the plurality of fibers in the first assembly is obtained. A set of key combinations is identified from the initial sequence and a predetermined sequence. A second assembly is slid across the first assembly. The set of key combinations is actuated to move the plurality of fibers from the first assembly to the second assembly and order the plurality of fibers in the second assembly in the predetermined sequence.

Abstract: A method for polishing fibers implements a fiber polishing system. The method includes manipulating a disk, spraying water using a first water pressure, and spraying air using an air pressure. The method further includes misting low pressure water using a second water pressure, manipulating a handle, and manipulating one or more dogs.

Abstract: Systems and methods implement furcation tube vacuum assist. A furcation tube is annealed. The furcation tube is inserted into an adapter fitted to a vacuum line. A vacuum is applied to the furcation tube. One or more communication cables are moved through the furcation tube while the vacuum is applied.

Abstract: A system for detection of doubles in a stream of flat items such as mail pieces being conveyed on a conveyor includes an electronic imaging camera positioned to receive an image of a side face of conveyed items over a first portion of its field of view, a reflector positioned to reflect an edge view of the items to the imaging camera, which edge view is received by the imaging camera over a second portion of its field of view, and a computer that receives image data from the camera. Program logic used by the computer determines whether the image shows one item, or more than one item.
