Abstract: An energy exchange system includes a supply flow path including a central sub-path connected to a bypass sub-path that is, in turn, connected to a delivery sub-path that connects to the enclosed structure. A sensible heat exchanger configured to condition the supply air is disposed within the central sub-path. The bypass sub-path connects to the central sub-path upstream from the sensible heat exchanger within the central sub-path. A first coil configured to further condition the supply air is disposed within the central sub-path downstream from the sensible heat exchanger. A bypass damper is disposed within the bypass sub-path. The bypass damper is configured to be selectively opened and closed. The bypass damper allows at least a portion of the supply air to pass through the bypass sub-path into the delivery sub-path and bypass the sensible heat exchanger and the first coil when the bypass damper is open.

Abstract: There is provided a modal distribution conditioner comprising the combination of a mandrel-wrapped optical fiber and an adjustable and fixable loop of optical fiber. It is noted that light entering the modal distribution conditioner is to be generally overfilled compared with the target encircled flux function (as defined by the Standard). The mandrel wrapping introduces macrobends to the optical fiber, inducing modal pre-filtering that roughly transforms the initially overfilled modal distribution to be close to compliance with the appropriate Standard. However, the modal distribution of light having traversed the fixed mandrel typically remains somewhat overfilled. The adjustable loop provides for the fine-tuning of the modal distribution, in conformity with the Standard. Once the requirements defined by the Standard are met, the adjustable loop may be secured in place such that modal distribution becomes fixed and remain stable.
