  • Publication number: 20200217440
    Abstract: A cable puller and associated methods are shown. Useful example methods include pipe bursting using cable pullers as shown. Cable pullers and methods shown provide a mechanical advantage that increases an amount of cable pulled in one cycle. Selected examples are shown that include a pulley located on a distal end of a moving portion of an extending and contracting beam. The pulley and the mechanical advantage it supplies helps to improve the efficiency of the cable puller and reduce manufacturing cost of the cable puller.

  • Publication number: 20200217479
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate an improved positioning of one of more LEDs on a device. A CPE (customer premise equipment) device may include a three-component subassembly composed of an LED module, light tube, and lightguide to allow for uniform lighting with design flexibility. The modularity of the design allows for decoupling from the PCB and reduces the design constraints.

  • Publication number: 20200217482
    Abstract: An illuminating device includes a light source and a light-pattern generating member. The light source emits an incident light. The light-pattern generating member is disposed on a side of the light source to receive the incident light. The incident light passes through the light-pattern generating member so as to generate a transmission light. The transmission light generates a light pattern. A light intensity distribution is formed by the light pattern, and a light intensity near the light source is equal to a light intensity far from the light source.
