This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/319,667, filed Nov. 4, 2002, entitled SYSTEM FOR BENDING POLYMER OR GLASS OPTICAL WAVE GUIDES.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method of optical interconnection for optical transmission between a printed circuit board (�PCB�) daughter card and PCB backplane or midplane. More particularly, the present invention describes a method of turning a polymer wave-guide at a right angle at the PCB daughter card-PCB backplane/midplane interface using a technique that maintains wave-guide alignment.
2. Background Art
Optical wave-guides are generally constructed with a core of a light transmissible material and one or more cladding layers. The core may be made of synthetic plastic or polymer or a glass material. Additionally, the choice of core and cladding materials determine whether the wave-guide member is flexible or rigid.
Optical interconnect technology lacks reliable and cost effective method for turning a known wave-guide member at a right angle for the purpose of optical interconnection between a PCB daughter card and PCB backplane. The present invention offers an efficient solution for ninety degree bending and re-alignment of a flexible polymer wave-guide.
While the above cited references introduce and disclose a number of noteworthy advances and technological improvements within the art, none completely fulfills the specific objectives achieved by this invention.
The present invention consists of a right-angle turn in a polymer optical wave-guide layer that has at least one cladding layer of a lower index of refraction material on both sides (above and below) or surrounding the core element.
Two angled cuts are machined, using micro-machining techniques such as etching or laser ablation, through the top cladding layer and the wave-guide located in the middle or center layer. The angles are of a magnitude that will sum to ninety degrees total at the two joints when the top three layers are bent so that the angled faces are joined.
The angle of the cuts will be such that two joints of forty-five degrees each will be created on either side of a middle pivot piece. Thus a reflective angled surface is created such that the light propagating through the wave-guide is reflected and turned at a right angle.
These and other objects, advantages and features of this invention will be apparent from the following description taken with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown the preferred embodiments of the invention.
A more particular description of the invention briefly summarized above is available from the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and discussed in further detail below. Through this reference, it can be seen how the above cited features, as well as others that will become apparent, are obtained and can be understood in detail. The drawings nevertheless illustrate only typical, preferred embodiments of the invention and are not to be considered limiting of its scope as the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a known wave-guide and cladding layers before modification.
FIG. 2 shows the two forty-five degree notches cut into the top cladding layer of the wave-guide.
FIG. 3 shows the angle from normal of the edges of both cuts.
FIG. 4 shows the wave-guide bent at a right angle.
So that the manner in which the above recited features, advantages, and objects of the present invention are attained can be understood in detail, more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiment thereof that is illustrated in the appended drawings. In all the drawings, identical numbers represent the same elements.
The present interconnect scheme provides a unique method of turning a wave-guide at a right angle that is both cost effective and simple in nature.
FIG. 1 shows the side view of a known wave-guide G having an inner element 102 sandwiched between two cladding layers 101, 103. The layers 101, 103 are of a lower index of refraction to promote internal reflection of the signal 404. Layer 101 is the top cladding layer, which will be cut or etched, and core element 102 is the wave-guide layer, which will also be cut or etched.
Core element 102 can consist of a plastic, polymer or glass material that has a characteristic ability to transmit a selected signal such as a beam or ray of light 404.
Cladding layer 103 is the bottom cladding layer that will remain intact, but is to be bent. This arrangement will add rigidity and a natural alignment to the structure.
FIG. 2 shows the total angle of the cut in the top two layers 101, 102 of the arrangement. Groove 201 is a cut or etched area. Groove 201 spans forty-five degrees from one side to the other, and should be symmetrical about an axis 203 perpendicular to a longitudinal axis 204 through the wave-guide.
FIG. 3 shows the angle of the cut or etched area 201 from the normal line 203 extending out of the vertex. The total forty-five degrees is broken down into two symmetrical angles 301 and 302 twenty-two and a half degrees to either side of the normal 203. The two surfaces 304, 205 on either side of the cut or etched area 201 will join or tightly abut next to each other, allowing the wave guide G to be bent forty-five degrees.
Similarly, the wave guide G can be bent along a normal axis extending from the vertex of the angle cut 202 bringing together the opposing surfaces forming the angle cut 202.
The presence of two overlapping or adjacent cut or etched areas 201 and 202 will allow for a total bend of ninety degrees. As is shown in FIG. 2, angle cuts 201 and 202 are formed having adjacent sides 205 of angle cut 201 and side 206 of angle cut 202 intersect at an apex or pivot point 207. Pivot point 207 is preferably positioned aligned between or with the outer or exterior surface 208 of cladding layer 101.
FIG. 4 shows the final bent structure with a light signal 404 passing through the wave-guide portion 102. The back surface 401 of the bend B in the wave-guide layer 102 helps turn the signal 404 through reflection.
The wave guide G is illustrated having two cladding layers. It should be understood that a core element 102 surrounded by one or more cladding layers may also be used by taking the measurements and cuts along a central longitudinal axis of the wave guide G. Additionally, a right angle bend in shown in the wave guide, but other angles greater or less than ninety degrees may be similarly formed adjusting the angles of cuts 201 and 202.
It is anticipated that the optical interconnect system described by the present invention can provide a method of constructing a right angle bend in a wave-guide in a more cost efficient and simpler process than previous methods.
It is readily apparent that the present invention will be a great improvement over existing technology. The present invention will be easily compatible with current PCB manufacturing processes, thus allowing for ease of manufacture in a typical factory tooled for the production of printed circuit boards.
The foregoing disclosure and description of the invention are illustrative and explanatory thereof, and various changes in the size, shape and materials, as well as in the details of the illustrated construction may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

It was a nightmare to say the least. The interview lasted four hours. I was asked to attend an open interview at a hotel conference room. Out of 30 people, I was the only woman there. 29 men including the hiring team. All the questions they asked were group based. After finishing the questions which most had nothing to do with the job, they announced this position was for their new store. This new Apple Store was about two hours from where I was currently living. On my job application I said I only wanted to work in the store that was less than 5 miles from me.Interview Questions

The interview process was very long and drawn out. Numerous "group interviews" and round table style outings. Many of the same questions are asked by the leadership implying that they either aren't in touch with each other or are seeking different answers each time. They staff is friendly, upbeat, and into Apple. You must demonstrate 100% commitment to the Apple mindset. It is kind of off putting, the whole brainwashed drone mentality. It works, but it's weird and tiresome.Interview Questions

I went into an Apple store to get a replacement iPhone. I end up persuading a customer to purchase a $100 case and she went and told one of the Apple reps. They come to me get my email and send me a link to upload my resume(April/23). I get a call from the hiring manager and he tells me he would like to set me up with an interview on the following Tuesday. The interview goes well, I leave with so much excitement built up. Later on that day, I get another phone call from the same manager asking me to come in again the next tuesday and an email to update my employee profile. So the following tuesday is my 2nd interview, really fun and laid back. I enjoyed the talk and the person! After that interview, I leave thinking that I would have gotten told something, but no. Later that day I get an email to perform a background check, and another call to setup my last interview on the upcoming Thursday. This meeting was with the store lead and market manager, two awesome guys. I enjoyed the fellowship with them. After this final interview I go home and wait.......... all weekend and finally get a call on Tuesday 5/21 with my offer. I was so excited. Apple is such a great company and I can't wait to get started. And this was all typed up on my iPhone, btw. ;)Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 4+ months – interviewed at Apple in February 2014.Interview Details
The interview at the Briargate shops, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I received an interview in February after submitting my resume and application 4 months prior.
The store manager at the time would not tell me the position that I was a candidate for over the phone, but did say that it is for full-time and part-time. There wasn't much of a phone interview, but we agreed on a time for the interview and went into the store to meet. I interviewed with another potential hire at the same time.
The interview took place at one of the tables out in the main sales area, which made it very comfortable and informal.
Jerry, the manager, asked questions about past work and personal experience.
1) Tell me about yourself.
2) Tell about a difficult situation that you over came.
3) Tell about a time that you reached out for help but never received it.
4) What is your past customer service experience?
5) Why do you want to work at Apple?
There were very little questions concerning Apple technology or products. The interview went for about 35 minutes.

I have heard many things about the hiring process for Apple, but one varied from all of those stories. I was referred by another employee, and was contacted about 6 months later. The wait definitely made me nervous, but after the first interview ( a small group) I felt as if I had been invited in to a great opportunity. There was a lot of interviews to go through, 4 or 5 in total I think, but every time I met with someone different, and never felt like I was being strung along. In fact, I loved every interview, and definitely gained some great interview skills by the end. The process was transparent, and never misleading. Mostly it was very casual conversation, and I had a lot of fun and felt I was able to relax without having to brown nose or lie through my teeth. I was open, honest, and relaxed, and I got the same vibe from my future employers.Interview Questions

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: The Ultimate Ending DVD
Judging by the comments posted at Toonbarn Rob's recent entry about Ben 10: Omniverse's art style, a lot of fans (former?) prefer the past iterations of the franchise over the upcoming one. With that in mind, Cartoon Network is giving all of us a chance to relive the [better-looking] Ultimate Alien series with a new special 2 disc, 10 episode DVD combo package: Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: The Ultimate Ending.
Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: The Ultimate Ending highlights Ben Tennyson's quest to defeat his most fearsome enemy yet, Vilgax. The DVD set contains 10 episodes from the series, including The Enemy of My Frenemy, Catch a Falling Star, The Egg Man Cometh, Inspector #13, The Beginning of the End, and the two part finale The Ultimate Enemy. Of course, the DVD wouldn't be worthy of the Ben 10 name if it didn't come with a special feature.
The Ben 10: Ultimate Ending DVD set is out now under the MSRP of $19.97

Its not that DNS that it is moaning about, its basicly saying it can't add itself as a DNS server on the current DNS servers. I presume you have run all the relevant schema and forest updates etc?
Morning Folks,
Trying to promote my first 2008R2 DC into current 2003 domain so running through DCpromo.
When I get to the DNS stage I get the following error:
A delegation for this DNS server cannot be created because the authoritative parent zone cannot be found or does not run Windows DNS Server. If you are integrated with an existing DNS infrastructure, you should manually create a delegation to this DNS server in the parent zone to ensure reliable name resolution from outside the domain.......
Now, I suspect that this is because the local authority will have DNS entries for our school, which the process is unable to update with this DNS Server, so am tempted to ignore.
I am concerned what impact this may have on our internet facing infrastructure though, primarily, our website, exchange server etc. Will this mess up name resolution from outside my domain for these services?
Does anyone have any experience of a similar situation?
Many Thanks.
Its not that DNS that it is moaning about, its basicly saying it can't add itself as a DNS server on the current DNS servers. I presume you have run all the relevant schema and forest updates etc?
Hi Toby,
Yep, have run the relevant adprep on the current forest, domain and gp schema, and all seemed to go through with out errors.
Also ran dcdiag, which gave some warnings about a couple of invalid Root hint servers, but other than that, passed the DNS tests ok.
Netdiag also passed without issue.
Its not really an error, basically it is trying to create a delegation between your dns domain and the parent dns zone. i.e. your domain is school.ac.uk it is trying to create a delegation to ac.uk dns domain zone. As you DNS server is not the authoritative for this zone it can't. Its not normally a problem and you can ignore it.
Its only a problem when creating sub zone. i.e. student.school.ac.uk
Hi Gareth,
From reading up on the error, thats kinda what I suspected. You arent aware of any issues this may have with our internet facing services? i.e website, email etc.
99.9999% sure there won't be as you existing DNS servers are staying?
You could document/backup the DNS Server settings to be sure.
Yes mate, current DNS server is staying at the moment. I do have backups of the current config if the worst comes to the worst, but i'm hoping that this will be a smooth transition.
Many thanks for your input, much appreciated.

A Charlie Brown Christmas
Christmastime is here.
Tuesday, December 16, 2014
$32 Adult \ $24 Child
You may not know Jerry Granelli by name, but you certainly know his music. In the mid-1960s, Jerry was the drummer for the Vince Guaraldi Trio, the trio that was called upon to score a heartwarming Christmas cartoon drawn by iconic Peanuts creator Charles Schultz.
Guaraldi's music, an iconic soundtrack to the holiday season, has bridged the gap in generations for nearly half a century with its endearing charm, humour and innocence that reflects Charlie Brown's search of the meaning of Christmas.
In this rare performance by Jerry Granelli, relive festive childhood memories with timeless classics from A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Jerry has invited the Youth Choir from the St. Albert Youth Musical Association to join him on stage for a few magical numbers.

Soulful, drawn-from-life tales.

Ending a nearly ten-year absence from the studio, Marc Cohn released Join the Parade, one of his most critically-acclaimed records.

Young Money's Nicki Minaj may have kept a tight lid over the follow-up to last year's Pink Friday debut, but the New York rapper has decide to let loose on what her fans can anticipate on her sophomore effort.
Following a weekend performance at the iHeartRadio Fest in Las Vegas, Minaj touched on her upcoming LP.
Minaj ran through hits like "Did It On Em," "Moment 4 Life" and "Where Them Girls At" at the inaugural iHeartRadio fest, and although she didn't unveil any new music from her in-the-works sophomore album, the rapper reiterated that her alter ego, "Roman Zolanski," would have a key role on her next full-length. "All I can say is that Roman will definitely be a humongous part of the follow-up to 'Pink Friday,'" says Minaj in her trademark Roman accent. "All I can say is that I'm working on it, and the fans are gonna get their life and then some." (Billboard)
In August, Minaj said she had no plans to seek out guest features on the second LP.
Nicki Minaj plans to head back to the studio this fall to begin work on her sophomore LP, the follow-up to 2010's Pink Friday. The over-the-top rapper is keeping most of the album details close to the vest, but does say that one of her personas will play a big part on the LP. "I don't know, I don't think I'm hitting up anybody for features for this sophomore album," she told us backstage at the Femme Fatale Tour. She added that the vibe will be decided by the one and only "Roman … possibly. But I never give away all my secrets." (MTV)
Last May, Minaj said her main focus was preparing for the Femme Fatale Tour alongside pop star Britney Spears.
"Well, of course we're going to do the tour with Britney [Spears]; the Femme Fatale Tour. I'm super excited about that. Good Morning America in the summer as well, and just starting to work on my sophomore album. I'm really really excited about it. Of course we just put out 'Super Bass,' which is the Number One record on Rap/Hip Hop on iTunes, and it got up to Number 12 on the Hot 100 on iTunes. So I'm just working on that and I'm super excited about continuing what I started with Pink Friday and then going all over the world next year. You know, I think the United States has had enough of me for a little bit, and I think I can now pack my bags and go to France and the UK and everywhere else. Just everywhere." (Hip Hop DX)
A month prior, the self-proclaimed Barbie promised to announce her Pink Friday follow-up release in September.
"You'll get another album within 12 months," she told KIIS FM's JoJo. "You'll get the announcement for the next album in–and I'm saying the announcement–that you'll get the announcement in September. That's all." But for now she'll stay busy promoting her new single "Super Bass" and its video, set to arrive in the next week. Videos for "Did It On'em" and "Fly," her collaboration with Rihanna, have also been shot. (Rap-Up)

Outrage: Outrage is a film entirely comfortable with itself, extremely pleased to be delivering yakuza violence to the big screen in almost every scene. It's not big on plot, building character, or telling a compelling story, but it is big on chopped-off fingers, punched faces, and the occasional involuntary dental work. The film is darkly comical, though it's hard to determine how much of that is intentional. But hey, let's all give a big "kampai" to knowing your strengths and playing to them early and often.

Not really Takeshi Kitano beast but still a decent watch. The back stabbing was sometimes hard to follow but wasnt to difficult to understand if you payed attention. The acting was decent and the some of the shots were really well done. Over all a 7/10 for me. :)

Dingbats, bipartisan: In a big house, there are a few
With that large a number, however, it can also lead to the occasional dingbat being elected and let loose to fly around the ornate Representatives Hall. Unless someone secures a broom, and finds a way to open a window to shoo them out, such dingbats' flights of fancy can be very distracting.
Such a flight occurred this month. The individual in question took to the social media world to announce that the Boston Marathon bombing was an inside job, performed by government "black ops" agents.
Someone with such an opinion is unlikely to do the sensible thing and step aside, although that would be appropriate. Otherwise, the voters in the representative's particular community will just have to remember, next election, to do the right thing. We have already marked it in our calendar to remind them.
In the meantime, though, could the major political parties please stipulate that such oddities can and do occur on both sides of the aisle? The immediate high-dudgeon demands for everyone in the particular party, up to and including U.S. senators and Presidents, to denounce the offending dingbat and call for its removal and public drubbing are wearing a bit thin.
If the offender is a party or legislative bigwig, of course, the reaction may need to be different.
But dingbats can, and do, crop up occasionally in the rank-and-file on either side of the aisle. It seems to us to be in both parties' interest to minimize the attention paid. Otherwise, the public's perception of both is going to erode.
