An important consideration in making a fiber optic device (e.g. comprising fiber in a, polished tube at a certain angle and GRIN lens) is to limit sense maintain , and/or measure the, gap-width between these two polished surfaces before they are either fused or glued for optimum, performance. In automating the configuration the gap is sensed, apart from , optimizing in the transverse plane to minimize the loss. In the present application a limit , sensing method and, system is provided to improve the effectiveness in automated manufacturing systems, by, exploiting the electromechanical properties of induced EMF (Electro-Magnetic Force) by an, electrical coil in presence of a magnet at …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 6, 2002. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 6, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 6, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
