    Abstract: A system and method for passing a fiber cable through a fiber connector is presented. A fiber connector includes an outer body and a series of flutes inside the outer body. The outer body forms an interior chamber that has a first opening and a second opening. The first opening allows a coolant to flow into the first opening and the first and second openings allow the fiber cable to pass through the first opening and the second opening and through the fiber connector. A series of flutes are attached to an inner surface of the outer body and extend into the interior chamber. The flutes are spaced apart from each other and extend from the inner surface toward the fiber cable but do not touch the fiber cable when no liquid is flowing in the fiber connector.

    Abstract: A 3D printed additively manufactured (AM) elliptical bifurcating torsion flexure assembly system includes a base section; elliptical bifurcating torsion springs, each including a bifurcated legs section supported by the base; a bifurcated elliptical torsion spring section contiguous with the bifurcated legs section; and a single upper section contiguous with the elliptical torsion spring section. The single upper section includes a connection component, and the device material includes Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) heat-treated Ti6Al4V. The elliptical bifurcating torsion flexure assembly is printed as one part by a 3D additive manufacturing process, and the bifurcation maintains consistent balance while being torqued. The stiffness-spring rate of the device is at least partly controlled by varying cross-sectional shape and diameters by the 3D additive manufacturing printing.
