Riley S. Freeland has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Optical fiber assemblies, and methods and apparatus for the manufacture thereof
    Patent number: 9417421
    Abstract: Methods for manufacturing cables and cables assemblies include providing particulate matter within a tube extruded about optical fiber. The particles may be accelerated so that as they strike the tube they mechanically attach to the tube.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2016
    Assignee: CORNING CABLE SYSTEMS LLC
    Inventors: Rodney M. Burns, Andrey V. Filippov, Riley S. Freeland, Daniel W. Hawtof, Warren W. McAlpine, Catharina L. Tedder

  • Fiber optic cable having a dry insert
    Patent number: 7693375
    Abstract: A fiber optic cable includes at least one optical waveguide, at least one dry insert and a cable jacket. The at least one optical waveguide and at least one dry insert are at least partially disposed within a cavity of the cable jacket. In one embodiment, the cable includes a first dry insert and a second dry insert disposed within the cavity so that the at least one optical waveguide is disposed between the first dry insert and the second dry insert, thereby providing a dry cable core.

  • Locatable cables and cable components therefor
    Patent number: 7526163
    Abstract: Cables that are detectable and/or identified from a distant location using detection equipment are disclosed. The cables include at least one communication element, a jacket, and at least one antenna element such as a parasitic antenna element. In one embodiment, the antenna element is at least partially formed from a conductive ink as a portion of a cable component that is generally deployed along a longitudinal direction of the cable. In use, the antenna element is capable of providing a predetermined electromagnetic signature for a predetermined frequency transmitted in its proximity, thereby indicating the location and/or identification of the cable for the craft.
