    • The present invention introduces a concept of “smart” ribbons, which use functionally tensioned optical fibers during the manufacture of fiber optic ribbons to create fiber ribbons with controlled geometrical configuration, optimized strain distribution and reduced attenuation. The ribbons may have flat or bowed cross section and be straight along the length or curved in its plane, or twisted unidirectionally, or periodically. These shapes and residual stress-strain state are induced and controlled by using tension functions instead of traditional constant-value tension per fiber during the ribbon manufacture. Further, the present invention reduces signal loss and/or attenuation in ribbon fibers caused by an increase in the strain variation from tensile strain to compressive strain along the length of the individual fibers when ribbons are manufactured, stacked, stranded around a strength member or twisted and bent during cable installation. In a first embodiment of the present invention, either a symmetric or non-symmetric load distribution is applied across the fibers being placed or drawn into a ribbon structure to eliminate or control residual twist in a completed fiber ribbon. Additionally, in the present invention, the load distribution on the fibers of a ribbon can be varied (e.g. periodically changed) along the length of the ribbon to provide a ribbon with the required design characteristics for any particular application. In a second embodiment of the invention, a fiber optic ribbon is made up of a plurality of sub-unit ribbons arranged in substantially the same plane. Each sub-unit ribbon includes a plurality of optical fibers coated by sub-unit matrices.

    • This invention provides articulated surgical instruments for use in laparoscopic surgical procedures including, in general, a handle, an elongated shaft, and an articulated tip. A gap extends longitudinally between the shaft and the tip. The instruments further include a flexible compression drive member, preferably a flexible cable, which is slidably disposed in the shaft and extends through the gap. The flexible drive member bends through the gap in a plane of articulation when the tip is articulated. A flexible support is attached at one end to the shaft and at another end to the tip. At least one of those connections is a slidable connection. The support extends through the articulation joint adjacent to the flexible drive member in the plane of articulation such that the support bends through the gap in the plane of articulation and the flexible drive member bends against the support when the tip is articulated in one direction from its aligned position. Preferably, the instruments include a pair of such supports extending adjacent to opposite sides of the flexible drive member.
    • 本发明提供了用于腹腔镜外科手术的铰接式手术器械,其通常包括手柄,细长轴和铰接尖端。 间隙在轴和尖端之间纵向延伸。 仪器还包括柔性压缩驱动构件,优选柔性电缆,其可滑动地设置在轴中并延伸穿过间隙。 当尖端被铰接时,柔性驱动构件通过铰接平面中的间隙弯曲。 柔性支撑件一端连接到轴上,另一端连接到尖端。 这些连接中至少有一个是可滑动的连接。 支撑件在关节平面中延伸穿过邻近柔性驱动构件的关节运​​动接头,使得支撑件通过关节平面中的间隙弯曲,并且当尖端从其一个方向铰接时柔性驱动构件弯曲抵靠支撑件 对齐位置。 优选地,仪器包括一对相邻于柔性驱动构件的相对侧延伸的这种支撑件。
