摘要： Fiber optic collimators are disclosed for use in fiber optic rotary joints (20) providing for improvement in insertion loss performance. One embodiment of the fiber optic collimator has a gradient-index rod lens (61) possessing a pitch of less than one-quarter. Improvement in insertion loss arises due to the increase in the effective focal length of the lens as the pitch is reduced, allowing the collimator to achieve a longer working distance. The increase in the effective focal length is accompanied by an increase in the back focal length of the lens, compared to the zero back focal length of the more typical quarter-pitch gradient-index rod lens. The increased back focal length can be filled by a cylindrical glass spacer (64), to which an optical fiber (68) is attached, resulting in a collimator with very similar form factor to the usual quarter-pitch gradient-index rod lens collimator. The increased back focal length can also be filled by a form of right-angle prism (71), to which an optical fiber is attached such that the fiber is oriented at 90 degrees to the optical axis of the lens useful for applications of pancake-style hybrid slip rings wherein the desired direction of fiber ingress to the rotary joint is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotary joint.

摘要： A multi-channel fiber optic rotary joint (FORJ) includes an external housing, a stationary collimator array, a rotating collimator array, an all-reflective de-rotating prism and a gear ratio. The external housing contains an internal cavity having a longitudinal rotation axis. The stationary collimator array is affixed to the external housing approximate a first end of the internal cavity. The rotating collimator array is rotatably attached to the external housing approximate a second end of the cavity. The second end of the cavity is opposite the first end of the cavity. The rotating collimator array is configured to rotate about the rotation axis. The de-rotating prism is located along the rotation axis within the internal cavity between the stationary collimator array and the rotating collimator array. The prism is retained in a prism housing, which is rotatably attached to the external housing and the prism housing is configured to rotate about the rotation axis.

摘要： A virtual computing services deployment network provides a consistent user experience from a variety of locations via a connection fabric for accessing a virtual desktop. The connection fabric identifies a user profile defining the virtualized desktop resources required for a particular user. The connection fabric includes distributed data and processing in nodes distributed throughout a public access network accessible from a user access device. Each of the fabric nodes is operable to provide an identifier (such as an IP address) of a computing resource adapted to provide the user specific desktop. A user access device accesses a local fabric node in the connection fabric, and the fabric node determines a computing resource matching a user profile of expected computing resources. The fabric node associates the user access device with the computing resource and sends the user access device an identifier for directly accessing the computing resource. The determined computing resource may be determined by a centralized virtual computing approach, thus providing appropriate scaling without significantly impacting the existing fabric.

摘要： A remote access manager in a virtual computing services environment negotiates a time limited NAT routing rule to establish a connection between a remote device and virtual desktop resource providing user computing services. A series of NAT connection rules are revised in a dynamic manner such that a pool of ports is available to connect a plurality of remote users to local virtual compute resources over one or more public IP addresses. Once a connection is established, an entry is made in a firewall state table such that the firewall state table allows uninterrupted use of the established connection. After an entry has been made in the state table, or the routing rule has timed out, the port associated with the original NAT routing rule is removed and the same port can be re-used to establish another connection without disrupting active connections.

摘要： A heat exchanger evaluation system (84) includes a refrigeration subsystem (126) and a platform (94) in communication with the subsystem (126) for attachment of a heat exchanger (32). The system (84) further includes a thermal imaging camera (168) and a monitor (100). A method (180) entails routing a fluid (38) through the heat exchanger (32) via the refrigeration subsystem (126). The camera (168) detects the temperature variation across the heat exchanger (32) as the fluid (38) flows through the heat exchanger, and provides successive thermal images representing the temperature variation responsive to the flow of the fluid (38). The thermal images are utilized to determine an efficacy of the flow through the heat exchanger (32). In particular, a determination can be made as to whether the flow deviates from a pre-determined flow path (79) of the fluid (38) through the heat exchanger.
