Patent number: 8214086Abstract: Systems and methods for a retractable fan cooling system for an electronics enclosure are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises at least one cooling fan coupled to an electronics enclosure having a heat sink; and a fan positioning mechanism coupled to the at least one cooling fan. When a temperature inside the electronics enclosure is less than a first temperature, the positioning mechanism places the at least one cooling fan into a retracted position that does not inhibit a natural convective air flow across the heat sink. When the temperature inside the enclosure is greater than a second temperature, the positioning mechanism places the at least one cooling fan into an engaged position that produces a forced air flow across the heat sink.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2010Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Thompson, Michael J. Nelson, Paul Schatz

Patent number: 7729620Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling optical power attenuation are provided. A method comprises periodically measuring an optical power of an optical signal received by an optical receiver and periodically measuring a first attenuation control signal voltage. When the optical power measurement is outside a target power range, the method continues with calculating a target voltage necessary to maintain the optical power measurements at a target power level; calculating a second attenuation control signal based on the target voltage, wherein the second attenuation control signal is calculated to provide an over-damped transient response that maintains the second attenuation control signal within a usable range of a variable optical power attenuator; applying a second attenuation control signal voltage based on the second attenuation control signal to the variable optical power attenuator; and adjusting attenuation of the optical signal based on the second attenuation control signal voltage.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2005Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Paul Schatz, Dean Zavadsky, William J.

Patent number: 7684698Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling power in a communications network are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises reading a power level of a communication link; and, driving an attenuation control signal based on the power level of the communication link. When the power level is greater than or equal to a minimum supported power level, driving an attenuation control signal further comprises constraining the attenuation control signal to a calibrated range of a characteristic curve. When one or both of the power level is less than the minimum supported power level and a bit error rate is greater than a maximum error threshold, driving an attenuation control signal further comprises generating an attenuation control signal outside the calibrated range of the characteristic curve.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Steve Stuart, Paul Schatz, Ana Santos
