Assignee:

Ciena Corporation - Linthicum MD

International Classification:

H02B 1/30
H04B 1/03
H04B 17/00
H04L 12/26
H04L 12/02

US Classification:

370401, 361600, 36167902, 361730

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a data distribution device comprising of a core electronics suite having at least two data ports where each port is in communication with its own network transport medium. At least two broadband transceivers, each in communication with its own broadband data port, enable sending and receiving of broadband data signals. At least two converters, each in communication with its own transceiver, enable the conversion of RF modulated data signals into data packets and the conversion of data packets into RF modulated data signals. The device includes a data switch, in communications with at least two converters and at least two broadband transceivers, for inspecting and routing data packets between data ports; a processor in communication with the data switch that controls the sending and receiving of data packets between at least two converters; and an exterior housing that is sealed and environmentally hardened to allow the data switch, the processor, and the converters with their transceivers, to operate in an outdoor environment.

US Classification:

228/175000, 228/226000, 228/230000

Abstract:

A device integration method involves attaching two components together using a first material having a first melting point, then creating a unit by attaching the two components to a third component, using a second material having a second melting point lower than the first melting point, and then attaching the unit to another component, using a third material, having a third melting point lower than the second melting point. A device having multiple components attached together using a process described herein.

International Classification:

A61M 5/158

Abstract:

An inserter assembly comprising a first unit including a skin contacting face which surrounds an opening and a second unit housed within the first unit. The second unit comprises an infusion set base disposed within the opening and having a bottom face which is substantially level with the skin contacting face and covered at least partially with adhesive and further comprising a spring biased insertion assembly. The second unit further comprising a cannula sub assembly carried by an insertion sharp of the insertion assembly. The spring biased insertion assembly and a cannula of the cannula sub assembly are driven into skin and the cannula sub assembly is coupled into the infusion set base by an insertion spring which is released from an energy storing state after the skin has been tugged upward beyond a certain distance by the adhesive as the inserter assembly is withdrawn from the body.
