  • Publication number: 20170315318
    Abstract: A traceable cable and method of forming the same. The cable includes at least one data transmission element, a jacket, and a side-emitting optical fiber. The side-emitting optical fiber includes a core having a first index of refraction and a cladding having a second index of refraction that is different than the first index of refraction. The cladding substantially surrounding the core and has an exterior surface with spaced apart scattering sites penetrating the exterior surface. The scattering sites are capable of scattering light so that the scattered light is emitted from the side-emitting optical fiber at discrete locations. The core also includes one or more mode coupling features capable of changing at least some low order mode light in the side-emitting optical fiber to high order mode light, thereby increasing light emitted from the scattering sites.

    Abstract: A motor includes a vibrator, a mover guided by a guide member to move with the vibrator, and rollers sandwiched between the mover and the guide member. The mover includes first and second groove shapes formed along a moving direction of the vibrator to separate from each other. The guide member includes first and second guide parts opposite to the first and second groove shapes, respectively. The rollers are sandwiched among the first and second groove shapes, and the first and second guide parts. On a rear side of a surface of the guide member where the first and second guide parts are formed, the mover includes regulating parts regulating a movement of the guide member to the rear side. When the guide member abuts against the regulating parts, part of each of the rolling balls is positioned inside the first and second groove shapes.

  • Publication number: 20170315325
    Abstract: A vibration actuator that is capable of bringing a vibration body into pressure contact with a driven body stably during long time while reducing obstruction of excitation of vibration in the vibration body by the pressure force. The driven body is in contact with the vibration body by pressure force given by a pressing member. A vibration isolation member is arranged between the vibration body and the pressing member. The vibration body and the driven body move relatively by vibrations in first and second vibration modes that are excited in the vibration body by applying alternating voltage to a piezoelectric device on the vibration body. Face pressure that acts to the piezoelectric device by the pressure force from the pressing member in first and second areas that respectively include nodal lines in the first and second vibration modes and their vicinities is higher than that in the other area.
