  • Patent number: 11325817
    Abstract: A device for producing filled containers has a transport device which is configured for transporting containers which are filled with a liquid and are closed by a closure. Furthermore, the apparatus has a penetration device which is configured for producing an opening in at least one region of the closure and/or of the container, and an application device, which applies a flowable and in particular gaseous medium to the interior of the container through this opening (or feeds the gaseous medium to this interior). Furthermore, the apparatus has a closing device which closes the opening again.

  • Patent number: 9140863
    Abstract: An FC-type optoelectronic assembly is provided that has a threaded plastic body that is adapted to mate with a threaded sleeve of an FC plug by engaging the threaded sleeve the FC plug with the threaded body of the FC-type optoelectronic assembly. The threaded plastic body is transparent to an operational wavelength of the FC-type optoelectronic assembly and has an optical element integrally formed therein. A TO-can header is housed in the threaded plastic body. A miniature PCB may be used for mounting the electrical and optoelectronic components of the TO-can header assembly on the header of the TO-can header assembly.

  • Patent number: 7963705
    Abstract: A molded interconnect device (MID) optical connector includes a molded plastic body and a metal retaining clip. The body has a receptacle portion shaped to receive and guide a mating optical fiber ferrule into a connected position. In the connected position, the end of a fiber retained in the ferrule is in optical alignment with an opto-electronic device in the MID optical connector. The retaining clip has one or more contact portions that extend into the receptacle portion of the body and exert a spring force upon the ferrule to retain and stabilize it in the connected position.

  • Patent number: 7731433
    Abstract: An optoelectronic surface-mounted device is provided comprising a premolded casing having a first cavity and a second cavity and a leadframe to which a first electrooptical element and a second electrooptical element are mounted. The leadframe is embedded in the premolded casing. The first cavity is adapted for providing a first electromagnetic radiation path between a first waveguide and the first electrooptical element, wherein the second cavity is adapted for providing a second electromagnetic radiation path between a second waveguide and the second electrooptical element. The first cavity and the second cavity are formed in the premolded casing to decouple electromagnetic radiation propagating along the first electromagnetic radiation path from electromagnetic radiation propagating along the second electromagnetic radiation path.

  • Patent number: 7594765
    Abstract: Various embodiments of arrangements for optically coupling an optical waveguide to an optical unit of an optical module are provided. One embodiment is an optical module for optically coupling an optical waveguide to an optical unit. One such optical module comprises: a reference structure having a reference geometry that defines a first axis of symmetry; an optical unit having an optical axis along which light is transmitted or received, the optical unit positioned relative to the reference structure with an offset between the first axis of symmetry and the optical axis; and a coupling element that couples the optical unit to an optical waveguide, the coupling element having an eccentric hole which functions as a fiber guide and a structural geometry adapted to compensate for the offset between the first axis of symmetry and the optical axis.
