Publication number: 20110181015Abstract: An aerodynamic braking system is disclosed herein. In particular, the brake arms may define an aerodynamic leading portion or edge and may be integrated into the legs of the front fork. Also, the brake arms may be disposed behind the bottom bracket shell to take the rear brake out of the air flow path and reduce aerodynamic drag. The rear brake arms are tapered so that the brake arms remain sufficient stiff to provide sufficient brake response times. The rear brake arms may be matched to recesses formed on an underside of chain stays.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2010Publication date: July 28, 2011Inventors: Richard Bell, Timothy Saul Lane, William Duehring, James Michael Felt, Jeffrey A.

Publication number: 20080031577Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for locking and releasing a module utilized in a transceiver system that includes a plurality of modules in close proximity with one another. The module is generally configured to include a handle with an associated cam formed in a first section of the module. The handle is moveable in a direction to allow the cam to move an associated ejector button integrated with the module in order to release the module from the transceiver system, thereby permitting the module to be efficiently removed from the transceiver system. The module may thus be removed from the transceiver system utilizing the handle. The module may be locked into the transceiver system when the handle is placed in an upward position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2007Publication date: February 7, 2008Applicant: Finisar CorporationInventors: Harold Walker, Richard Bell
