Abstract

UN CONECTOR BIONICO INCLUYE DOS ENCHUFES (44-44), CADA UNO DE ELLOS FINALIZA UN CABLE SIMPLE DE FIBRA OPTICA (55) E INCLUYEN UNA PORCION EN FORMA CONICA (50). EL CONECTOR TIENE TAMBIEN UN MANGUITO ALINEADO (86) CON UNAS CAVIDADES QUE SE ADAPTAN PARA FINALIZAR EN LOS ENCHUFES. CON OBJETO DE HACER MINIMAS LAS PERDIDAS EN UNA CONEXION, ES IMPORTANTE QUE LOS EJES DE UNA PORCION FINAL DE LA FIBRA OPTICA EN LA PORCION CONICA DEL ENCHUFE COINCIDAN SUSTANCIALMENTE CON LOS EJES DE REVOLUCION DE LA PORCION CONICA. ESTO SE LLEVA A CABO MANTENIENDO EL ENCHUFE EN UN ACCESORIO TAL QUE SUS PORCIONES CONICAS FINALES ESTEN DESCUBIERTAS, Y EL ACCESORIO ADAPTADO PARA GIRAR ALREDEDOR DE SU EJE DE ROTACION (105). LA LUZ DISPERSA DE UN LASER (166) DIRIGIDO HACIA UNA MEDIDA DE LONGITUD (100) DE FIBRA OPTICA EN UNA PARTE DEL ENCHUFE, QUE SE EXTIENDE POR TODA SU SUPERFICIE MIENTRAS QUE EL ENCHUFE ESTA GIRANDO. EL ACCESORIO QUE MANTIENE AL ENCHUFE SE GIRA SOBRE SU EJE PARA HACER QUE LOS EJES DE LA MEDIDA DE LONGITUD DE LA FIBRA OPTICA SE MANTENGAN PARALELOS A LOS EJES DE ROTACION. LAS IMAGENES DE LUZ SE EMITEN TRANSVERSALMENTE HACIA LOS EJES LONGITUDINALES DE LA FIBRA OPTICA EN VARIAS POSICIONES. LOS EJES DE ROTACION Y LA EXCENTRICIDAD DE LA MEDIDA DE LONGITUD DE LA FIBRA OPTICA SE VEN DETERMINADOS POR ESTAS IMAGENES. LOS REAJUSTES SE HACEN ENTONCES PARA CONSEGUIR QUE EL CENTRO DE LA FIBRA COINCIDA CON LOS EJES DE ROTACION. POR TANTO, LA PORCION FINAL DEL ENCHUFE SE RECONFIGURA Y HACE QUE LOS EJES DE REVOLUCION DE LA PORCION FINAL COINCIDAN CON LA MEDIDA DE LONGITUD DE LA FIBRA OPTICA.
