Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device including a connector having a connector body and one or more rows of pins, where the connector facilitates a pluggable connection to an electrical cable or pluggable transceiver, where at least one of the one or more rows of pins includes a first group of the pins extending in a first direction and a second group of the pins extending in a second, different direction. The device includes a host board having vias, where at least a portion of the first and second groups of pins are connected with a portion of the vias by way of solder joints. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Formulations for removal of deposits, the formulation prepared according to specific manufacturing processes. The formulation may be used to clear and clean deposits from surfaces. In some examples, the deposits may include spray paint deposits on concrete, brick and metal surfaces such as graffiti. In some examples, the formulations may include active salt agents comprising molybdenum and aluminum cations.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for calculating a clock rate for a serial clock of a transmitter where information sent by the transmitter is sent in packets from the transmitter over an asynchronous network. The techniques involve minimizing the number of adjustments to the clock rate that are needed to fine tune the clock rate to match the serial clock of the transmitter.

Abstract: A diaphragm optic sensor comprises a single crystal ferrule, preferably single crystal sapphire, including a bore having an optical fiber disposed therein and a diaphragm attached to the ferrule, the diaphragm being spaced apart from the ferrule to form a Fabry-Perot cavity. The cavity is formed by creating a pit in the ferrule or in the diaphragm, or by interposing a spacer between the diaphragm and ferrule. The components of the sensor are preferably welded together, preferably by laser welding. In some embodiments, the entire ferrule is bonded to the fiber along the entire length of the fiber within the ferrule; in other embodiments, only a portion of the ferrule is welded to the fiber.

Abstract: A linear interferometric sensor system in which the light output from the interferometric sensor is optically bandpass filtered before conversion to an electrical signal by an adjustable band-pass filtering device and the center wavelength of the adjustable band-pass filtering device is controlled by a feedback circuit responsive to the steady state component of the electrical signal corresponding to the filtered sensor return. In a preferred embodiment, the adjustable band-pass filtering device is an electrically tunable optical filter. The invention is particularly useful in self calibrating interferometric/intensity-based sensor configuration, but can be used with other linear interferometric sensor configurations.
