  • Fused connector for optical fiber
    Patent number: 4938558
    Abstract: A connector 1 for an optical fiber 2 comprising; an alignment ferrule 9 for encircling an optical fiber 2, a precision alignment surface 23 of the ferrule constructed for nonreformation upon alignment in a cavity having a shape complementary to that of the precision alignment surface 23, the precision alignment surface 23 is constructed on a front end portion 10 of said ferrule, said first portion is constructed from assembly with a separate remainder of said ferrule in a manner to isolate said precision alignment surface 23 from distortion.
    Type: Grant

  • Fabrication of a multilayer conductive pattern on a dielectric substrate
    Patent number: 4774127
    Abstract: A pattern of conductive material is formed on a substrate of dielectric material. The substrate comprises a layer of flexible dielectric material having a layer of dimensionally-stable material adhered to one main face. The pattern is formed on the opposite main face of the layer of flexible dielectric material.
