Abstract: A bent optical fiber coupler (100) that employs at least one optical fiber (10) is disclosed. The coupler includes a curved optical fiber guide channel (200) having a strong curve. The optical fiber(s) held within the optical fiber guide channel have a bend corresponding to the guide channel curve. The fiber end portions are optionally disposed within a straight fiber guide (160) at a coupler input/output end, which is preferably configured to have a standard connector geometry. Use of nanostructured fibers for the at least one optical fiber allows for strong bends having tight radii of curvature without imparting significant attenuation. Coupler assemblies that include the coupler optically coupled to at least one opto-electronic device (310) are also disclosed.

Abstract: A polymer based index-matching gel for use with nanostructure optical fibers is disclosed. The index-matching gel has at least one polymer component having a viscosity η at 25° C. of 3 Pa-s≦η≦100 Pa-s, which prevents the index-matching gel from wicking into the voids and down the nanostructure optical fiber to a depth where the fiber performance and/or device performance is compromised. The gel is suitable for use when mechanically splicing optical fibers when at least one of the optical fibers is a nanostructure optical fiber. The gel is also suitable for use in fiber optic connectors wherein at least one of the optical fibers constituting the connection is a nanostructure optical fiber.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention scores a golf shot, such as a golf shot at a practice range, in order to provide a golfer with a meaningful index by which to measure their improvement and/or by which to compare their performance to the performance of other golfers at the practice range. The scoring method and apparatus determines the final position of the golf ball following the golf shot and generates a signal representative of the final position. The scoring method and apparatus also includes a signal processor for determining the score of the golf shot. The signal processor determines the score based upon a predetermined difficulty function and a dispersion distance between the final position of the golf ball and a predetermined target toward which the golf ball was driven. In addition, the predetermined difficulty function can be at least partially based upon a predetermined contour function which takes into account the contour or layout of a particular golf hole such that the resulting difficulty function defines contour lines of uniform difficulty surrounding the predetermined target.

Abstract: An electrostatic discharge protection device for protecting a mixed voltage integrated circuit against damage is provided which includes at least one pair of NMOS transistors connected in a cascode configuration. Each NMOS transistor pair includes a first transistor, having a drain region coupled to an I/O stage of the mixed voltage integrated circuit, and a gate region coupled to the mixed voltage integrated circuit's low power supply. The protection device also includes a second NMOS transistor, merged into the same active area as the first transistor, having a gate region and source region coupled to the ground plane of the mixed voltage integrated circuit. The drain region of the second transistor and the source region of the first transistor is constructed by a shared NMOS diffusion region. This shared diffusion region also constructs the common node coupling the source region of the first transistor to the drain region of the second. The shared diffusion area is a further benefit of the invention because its length controls the trigger voltage and the holding voltage of each cascode configured transistor pair. This electrostatic discharge protection device can be used either as a self protecting pull-down portion of a mixed voltage I/O stage or, in a further aspect of the present invention, as a separate electrostatic discharge clamp.
