  • Patent number: 11805785
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating raw human milk to produce treated human milk having undetectable levels of bacteria. The milk is skimmed to produce skim human milk then subjected to microfiltration to yield a filtrate which has undetectable levels of bacteria, including Bacillus cereus. The resultant human milk can be further processed, used and/or sold.

  • Publication number: 20180156999
    Abstract: Port tap fiber optic modules and related systems and methods for monitoring optical networks are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the port tap fiber optic modules disclosed herein include connections that employ a universal wiring scheme. The universal writing scheme ensure compatibility of attached monitor devices to permit a high density of both live and tap fiber optic connections, and to maintain proper polarity of optical fibers among monitor devices and other devices. In other embodiments, the port tap fiber optic modules are provided as high-density port tap fiber optic modules. The high-density port tap fiber optic modules are configured to support a specified density of live and passive tap fiber optic connections. Providing high-density port tap fiber optic modules can support greater connection bandwidth capacity to provide a migration path for higher data rates while minimizing the space needed for such fiber optic equipment.

  • Patent number: 9557508
    Abstract: Convertible fiber optic panel/module assemblies for optical fiber connectivity, including for wall and floor-mounted connectivity applications are disclosed. The convertible fiber optic assemblies are configured to be convertible between a fiber optic panel assembly and a fiber optic module assembly, as desired. According to an exemplary embodiment, the convertible fiber optic panel/module assembly comprises a fiber optic panel to provide a fiber optic panel assembly. One or more fiber optic adapters are disposed through the fiber optic panel to provide fiber optic connectivity. If it is desired to convert the fiber optic panel assembly to a fiber optic module assembly, the fiber optic panel assembly is additionally fitted with a module housing having at least one rear fiber optic adapter disposed therein and a fiber optic cable harness connecting the at least one rear fiber optic adapter to the fiber optic adapters disposed in the fiber optic panel.

  • Publication number: 20160277111
    Abstract: A fiber optic assembly for supporting optical connections in a fiber optic network employing parallel optical configurations is described. In one embodiment, the fiber optic assembly includes at least two live multi-fiber components and at least one tap multi-fiber component. Optical signals are routed from one live multi-fiber component to another in a parallel optical connection configuration, with each group of optical signals corresponding to a respective group of fiber positions on each live multi-fiber component. Each group of optical signals is also routed to one of the first and second groups of fiber positions of the at least one tap multi-fiber component in a parallel optical connection configuration. In this manner, fiber optic signals can be simultaneously provided and monitored within an active fiber optic network using a parallel optical configuration without the need for interrupting network operations.

  • Patent number: 9411121
    Abstract: A port tap cable for supporting live optical connections in a fiber optic network includes one or more fiber optic splitters, which each receive an optical signal from a live input optical fiber of a live input fiber optic cable leg. Each fiber optic splitter splits each optical signal and transmits the signal to a live output optical fiber of a live output fiber optic cable leg and a tap output optical fiber of a tap output fiber optic cable leg. The one or more splitters are enclosed in a furcation, thereby forming a port tap cable that allows for monitoring of optical signals within an active fiber optic network without the need for interrupting network operations. This arrangement also allows for monitoring individual ports in an existing network installation.
