Patent number: 11733472Abstract: A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a fiber optic cassette comprising a body defining a front and an opposite rear and an enclosed interior. A fiber optic signal entry location is defined on the body for a fiber optic signal to enter the interior via a fiber optic cable. An adapter block defines a plurality of fiber optic adapters and is removably mounted to the body with a snap-fit interlock, each adapter including a front outer end, a rear inner end, and internal structures allowing mating of optical connectors mounted to the front and rear ends, respectively. A removable spacer is mounted to the body, the spacer configured to expand the size of the enclosed interior of the cassette and a removable cover is mounted to the spacer. Connectorized optical fibers extend from the fiber optic signal entry location to the rear inner ends of at least some of the fiber optic adapters for relaying the fiber optic signal to fiber optic connectors to be coupled to the front outer ends of the adapters.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Soutsada Vongseng, Kristofer Bolster, Timothy Badar

Publication number: 20070010969Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention improve upon component level inspection performed by pick and place machines. Such improvements include providing first article inspection in pick and place machines by collecting images of the placement event inside the machine and identifying errors as they happen. By displaying this information as it is generated on the machine, the operator can take prompt and effective corrective actions. In one embodiment, images are taken of the placement location before and after placement of the component. These images are then processed and displayed to the operator shortly after the placement has completed. In addition to the images, key measurements are displayed to the operator to assist in the diagnosis of problems as they occur. Key features that are presented to the operator include absence/presence detection, vibration detection and manual visual inspection.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2006Publication date: January 11, 2007Applicant: CyberOptics CorporationInventors: David Madsen, Paul Haugen, Timothy Badar
