B65H 6902

US Classification:

350 9622

Abstract:

Two plugs each comprises a pair of plastic guide plates with inner sides in which are formed duplicate groove patterns each consisting of parallel V-sided spaced grooves running through the plugs and divided into a central set of smaller "fiber" grooves and a pair of larger "pin" grooves on opposite sides of and spaced from the pin grooves. The two plates in each plug are disposed with their respective groove patterns registering with each other across a transverse gap such that the fiber grooves define a set of fiber channels extending through the plug from its rear to an end face on a front nose on the plug, the pin grooves defining a pair of pin channels having front openings rearward of such end face. Optical fibers from a ribbon type cable extend through the fiber grooves to the front of the nose. The two plates are bonded together by adhesive filling the spaces in the fiber channels around the fibers, and filling also the portions of the gap between adjacent fiber channels, but not occupying the gap between portions of the plates outward of the outermost fiber channels and including the pin channels.

International Classification:

G08B 1314

US Classification:

340568

Abstract:

Methods and systems for locating objects are disclosed. An electronic tag is attached to an object before storing the object. The electronic tag is identifiable by a unique response code. The response code and information pertaining to the object are recorded and the object may then be stored. To locate the object, the response code is entered into an interrogator. The interrogator sends a signal that causes the tag to emit a sound. The system thus allows for random storage of objects and is also useful for locating misplaced objects.
