Patent number: 6836350Abstract: Drive circuitry to provide a DC bias voltage and a high frequency modulation current to an electroabsorption modulator (EAM), including a high frequency modulation current source, a coupling capacitor, and a first DC lead. The drive circuitry may include termination circuitry. One lead of the high frequency modulation current source is electrically coupled to the first semiconductor type contact of the EAM and the other lead of the high frequency modulation current source is electrically coupled to an AC ground. The coupling capacitor includes a first electrode electrically coupled to the second semiconductor type contact of the EAM, a second electrode electrically coupled to the AC ground, and a dielectric layer between the electrodes. The first DC lead is electrically coupled to the EAM-side capacitor electrode and configured to be coupled to a first DC potential.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2004Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignees: T-Networks, Inc., AMCCInventors: Prashant Singh, Helga Foulk, Scott Redinger, Todd Tanji, Keith Maile, John Stronczer

Patent number: 6217011Abstract: A fluid mounting (20) for isolating or damping vibration between a vibrating member (21) and a structure (23). In one aspect, the fluid mounting (20) includes inner (22) and outer (24) members, a flexible element (26), first (28) and second (30) operating chambers, a fluid passageway (32) interconnecting operating chambers (28, 30), and a partitionless volume compensator (36) including a compensator chamber (38) separated into a gas-filled portion (40) and a fluid-filled portion (42). Notably, the chamber (38) is devoid of any separating barrier. At least one lock passage (44) interconnects the fluid-filled portion (42) with one of the first and second operating chambers (28, 30), and a working fluid (34). Preferably a bubble trap depression (46) focuses any gas bubbles into the lock passage (44). In another aspect, mounting (20) may include laminated shim construction with sloping profiles thereon to prevent bubble trapping.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1999Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignee: Lord CorporationInventor: W. Scott Redinger

Patent number: 6142420Abstract: An elastomer landing gear pad assembly (20) and method of reducing loading of installation fasteners (17) including a cap (15) and an elastomer pad (21) including a crown (22) on at least one edge thereof extending between the top (26) and at least one of the peripheral sides (24). Upon tightening the fasteners (17), the crown (22) comes into progressive contact with the contact surface thereby compressing the pad (21). The crown minimizes stress buildup in the fasteners upon substantial compression of the pad.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1999Date of Patent: November 7, 2000Assignee: Lord CorporationInventor: William Scott Redinger

Patent number: 5915842Abstract: An elastomer bearing (20) and assembly method therefor. The bearing (20) includes an inner member (22) having an outer profiled surface with a maximum radial dimension, an outer member (24) having a minimum radial dimension which is smaller than said maximum radial dimension and a inner profiled surface. The outer member (24) includes first (26) and second halves (28) being inserted axially over the spherical portion (23) of inner member (22). Each halve (26, 28) including axial threaded portions (32) which are threadedly interconnected to secure halves (26, 28) together. An elastomer layer (30) is bonded to said outer profiled surface of said inner member (22) and said inner profiled surface of said outer member (24). In another aspect, the profiled surfaces are spherical surfaces. Preferably, air is vented into the threaded escapeway (33) during the bonding process. A radial gap (34) is provided to aid is air removal/venting.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1997Date of Patent: June 29, 1999Assignee: Lord CorporationInventor: W. Scott Redinger
