本揭示大致有關於具有遠端釋放部之連接器,且更特別有關於窄寬度適配器及連接器,例如窄間距透明連接器(Lucent Connector,LC)雙工適配器及窄寬度多光纖連接器。The present disclosure generally relates to connectors with distal releases, and more particularly to narrow width adapters and connectors, such as narrow pitch Lucent Connector (LC) duplex adapters and narrow width multi-fiber connectors.
網際網路之普及已使通訊網路史無前例地成長。消費者對服務之要求及與日俱增之競爭已迫使網路供應商不斷尋求改善服務品質同時降低成本的方法。The popularity of the Internet has enabled the unprecedented growth of communication networks. Consumer demand for services and increasing competition have forced Internet providers to constantly seek ways to improve service quality while reducing costs.
某些解決方法包括配置高密度互連面板。高密度互連面板可設計成確保支持該快速成長網路所需之不斷增加互連件體積成為一緊緻形狀因數,藉此增加服務品質及減少如地板空間及支持附加費之成本。但是,高密度互連面板之配置尚未完全實現。Some workarounds include configuring high-density interconnect panels. High-density interconnect panels can be designed to ensure the ever-increasing interconnect volume required to support this rapidly growing network into a compact form factor, thereby increasing quality of service and reducing costs such as floor space and support surcharges. However, the configuration of high-density interconnect panels has not yet been fully realized.
在通訊網路中,例如在資料中心及交換網路中,可使在對接連接器間之多數互連件緊緻而形成高密度面板。面板及連接器製造商可藉由縮小連接器尺寸及/或在該面板上相鄰連接器間之間距,使該等高密度最佳化。雖然兩種方法對於增加面板連接器密度都有效,但縮小連接器尺寸及/或間距亦會增加支持成本且降低服務品質。In communication networks, such as in data centers and switching networks, most interconnects between mating connectors can be compacted to form high density panels. Panel and connector manufacturers can optimize these high densities by reducing connector size and/or spacing between adjacent connectors on the panel. While both approaches are effective for increasing panel connector density, reducing connector size and/or pitch also increases support costs and reduces service quality.
在一高密度面板組態中,相鄰連接器及電纜總成會阻礙對獨立釋放機構之進接。該實體障礙物會減弱一操作者減少施加在該等電纜及該等連接器上之應力的能力。例如,當一使用者進入一組密集連接器且利用他/她的拇指及食指將周圍光纖及連接器推開以便進接一獨立連接器釋放機構時,會施加這些應力。使該等電纜及連接器受到過度應力會產生潛在缺陷,破壞該等終端之完整性及/或可靠性,且可能對網路效能造成嚴重破壞。In a high density panel configuration, adjacent connectors and cable assemblies can obstruct access to independent release mechanisms. The physical obstruction reduces an operator's ability to reduce the stress placed on the cables and the connectors. These stresses are applied, for example, when a user enters a dense set of connectors and uses his/her thumb and forefinger to push the surrounding fibers and connectors apart in order to access a separate connector release mechanism. Excessive stress on these cables and connectors can create potential defects that compromise the integrity and/or reliability of these terminations, and can seriously disrupt network performance.
雖然一操作者可嘗試使用如一螺絲起子之工具來進入一組密集連接器及致動一釋放機構,但該相鄰電纜及連接器會阻擋操作者之視線,因此難以在不推開該等相鄰電纜之情形下引導該工具至該釋放機構。此外,即使在操作者具有一清楚視線時,將該工具引導至該釋放機構亦是一耗時過程。因此,使用一工具對於減少支持時間及增加服務品質不是有效的。While an operator may attempt to use a tool such as a screwdriver to gain access to a set of dense connectors and actuate a release mechanism, the adjacent cables and connectors block the operator's view, making it difficult to remove the connectors without pushing them apart. Guide the tool to the release mechanism adjacent to the cable. Furthermore, guiding the tool to the release mechanism is a time consuming process even when the operator has a clear line of sight. Therefore, using a tool is not effective for reducing support time and increasing service quality.
目前在電信基礎設施中,在架安裝之銅對光纖媒體轉換器內使用被稱為乙太網路交換器及/或修補集線器的小形狀因數可插拔收發器(Small Form Factor Pluggable Transceivers,SFP)。由於可供這些基礎設施乙太網路及光纖連接使用之空間有限,所以該等設備都在快速地進化以增加連接密度。雖然多年來光纖連接器已變得越來越小,但它們尚未被設計成比需要***一般尺寸且容易取得之SFP中小。然而,隨著收發器技術發展,較小SFP將被用來產生較高密度交換及/或修補集線器設備。因此,需要可滿足較小SFP之未來發展需要的光纖連接器。Small Form Factor Pluggable Transceivers (SFPs) known as Ethernet switches and/or patch hubs are currently used in rack-mounted copper-to-fiber media converters in telecommunications infrastructure. ). Due to the limited space available for these infrastructure Ethernet and fiber connections, these devices are rapidly evolving to increase connection density. Although fiber optic connectors have become smaller and smaller over the years, they have not been designed to be smaller than the generally sized and readily available SFPs that need to be inserted. However, as transceiver technology develops, smaller SFPs will be used to create higher density switching and/or patch hub devices. Therefore, there is a need for fiber optic connectors that can meet the future development needs of smaller SFPs.

在此使用之一連接器表示連接一第一模組或纜線與一第二模組或纜線之一裝置及/或其組件。該連接器可組配成用於光纖傳輸或電信號傳輸。該連接器可為目前已知或未來發展之任何適當種類,例如一套圈連接器(Ferrule Connector,FC)、一光纖分散式資料介面(Fiber Distributed Data Interface,FDDI)連接器、一LC連接器、一機械轉換(Mechanical Transfer,MT)連接器、一正方形連接器(Square Connector,SC)連接器、一SC雙工連接器、或一直接尖端(Straight Tip,ST)連接器。該連接器可大致由一連接器殼體本體界定。在某些實施例中,該殼體本體可具有在此所述之任一或所有組件。A connector is used herein to refer to a device and/or its components that connect a first module or cable with a second module or cable.

在此所述之各種實施例提供一遠端釋放機構使得一使用者可移除在一高密度面板上緊密分開排列之纜線總成連接器,且不破壞周圍連接器、不使周圍連接器意外分離、不中斷通過周圍連接器之傳輸等。各種實施例亦提供用以與,例如,未來窄間距LC SFP及未來窄寬度SFP一起使用之窄間距LC雙工連接器及窄寬度多光纖連接器。該遠端釋放機構容許在密集窄間距LC SFP及窄寬度多光纖SFP陣列中使用該等窄間距LC雙工連接器及窄寬度多光纖連接器。The various embodiments described herein provide a distal release mechanism that allows a user to remove cable assembly connectors that are closely spaced apart on a high density panel, without damaging the surrounding connectors, Accidental separation, uninterrupted transmission through surrounding connectors, etc. Various embodiments also provide narrow pitch LC duplex connectors and narrow width multi-fiber connectors for use with, for example, future narrow pitch LC SFPs and future narrow width SFPs.

The SFP100 is configured to accommodate a duplex connector, and provides two
圖2A顯示可與該習知SFP100及該習知適配器106一起使用之一習知LC雙工連接器200。該LC雙工連接器200包括二習知LC連接器202。圖2B顯示具有一遠端釋放拉片206且包括二習知LC連接器208之另一習知LC雙工連接器204。如圖所示,該遠端釋放拉片包括二接腳210,且各接腳組配成可與各LC連接器208之延伸構件212耦合。圖2C與2D分別顯示具有一5.6 mm之寬度的該習知LC連接器208的俯視圖及側視圖,且進一步顯示該延伸構件212。FIG. 2A shows a conventional
在此揭露之各種實施例係組配成供一未來SFP使用,例如具有比習知6.25 mm及5.25 mm間距小之一間距的圖3所示窄間距LC SFP300。如以下進一步所述地,各種實施例在雙工配置(具有發送與接收光纖)中使用LC型光纖連接器,但具有比習知6.25 mm及5.25 mm間距小之一連接器軸間距離。Various embodiments disclosed herein are configured for use with a future SFP, such as the narrow
依據另一態樣,揭露窄間距雙工LC適配器之實施例。圖4A至4C顯示一窄間距適配器400之一實施例。依據在此揭露之態樣,該窄間距適配器400在其相對端上具有插座402,且該等插座402組配成用以對接二窄間距LC雙工連接器。圖4B顯示該適配器400之一俯視圖。圖4C顯示一前視圖,其進一步顯示該適配器400具有一4.8 mm之間距。該適配器400組配成可收納一雙工LC連接器,且該適配器之一間距對應於在該LC雙工連接器之LC連接器間的軸間距離。雖然該適配器400具有一4.8 mm之間距,但在此揭露之窄間距適配器的各種實施例可具有小於習知適配器之間距,例如小於6.25mm及小於大約5.25 mm的一不同間距。在某些實施例中,該間距可為等於或小於大約4.8 mm。According to another aspect, embodiments of narrow pitch duplex LC adapters are disclosed. 4A-4C show one embodiment of a
除了需要窄連接器以外,亦需要遠端地解鎖在密集窄SFP陣列中使用之窄連接器。這是因為手指幾乎不可能在不中斷相鄰光纖之服務的情形下進接連接器。雖然目前已有遠端地解鎖光纖連接器之設計,如例如圖2B所示,但是已證實的是當***對所有SFP為典型之模鑄構造中時,它們難以依需要地作用。該模鑄SFP不會沒有會干涉該等光纖連接器之塑膠閂鎖之正常撓曲動作的銳利邊緣及內飛邊(毛邊)。特別在閂鎖藉由在該連接器後方突出一距離之拉片遠端地致動以防止手指干擾相鄰光纖時,在金屬邊緣及毛邊間之干涉會阻止該光纖連接器之塑膠閂鎖完全接合或輕易地分離。In addition to the need for narrow connectors, there is also a need to remotely unlock narrow connectors used in dense narrow SFP arrays. This is because it is nearly impossible for fingers to access the connector without interrupting service to adjacent fibers. While there are currently designs for remotely unlocking fiber optic connectors, as shown, for example, in Figure 2B, they have proven difficult to function as desired when inserted into the molded configuration typical of all SFPs. The molded SFP is not free of sharp edges and internal flash (burrs) that interfere with the normal flexing action of the plastic latches of the fiber optic connectors. Especially when the latch is actuated distally by a pull tab protruding a distance behind the connector to prevent fingers from interfering with adjacent fibers, interference between the metal edge and the burr can prevent the plastic latch of the fiber optic connector from fully latching join or disengage easily.
為了使該等連接器相對於該SFP之閂鎖/解鎖更可靠,在此揭露之各種實施例,例如如以下對於圖5、7、8與12所示及所述地為該遠端閂鎖組件(拉片)增加一彈力,以確保該等連接器閂鎖可返回未位移位置且因此變成完全接合在該SFP之凹部內。To make the latching/unlatching of the connectors relative to the SFP more reliable, various embodiments disclosed herein, such as the distal latch as shown and described below with respect to Figures 5, 7, 8 and 12 The components (pull tabs) add a spring force to ensure that the connector latches can return to the undisplaced position and thus become fully engaged within the recesses of the SFP.
圖5顯示依據在此揭露之態樣之一窄間距連接器500的一實施例。該窄間距連接器500係包括二LC連接器502之一雙工LC連接器。各LC連接器502包括一套圈503及一延伸構件或閂鎖臂504。該連接器500具有一 4.8mm之間距,且該間距定義為在該等LC連接器502之中心軸間的軸間距離。在其他實施例中,該連接器間距可小於習知連接器之間距,例如小於6.25 mm及小於大約5.25 mm。在某些實施例中,該間距可為等於或小於大約4.8 mm。FIG. 5 shows one embodiment of a
該連接器500更包括具有一底殼體508及一頂殼體510之一殼體506。該底殼體508包括側壁512。在各種實施例中,該連接器500之殼體506可為一可轉換殼體。該等側壁512可組配成可開啟以便打開該殼體506,而例如改變該連接器500之極性。該等側壁512可朝該連接器500之後方***,如圖5所示。使該等側壁512朝該連接器500之後方***的一優點是比較容易進接。在其他實施例中,該等側壁512可在另一位置***。The
該連接器500更包括具有一遠端516及一近端518之一拉片514。該拉片514更包括一彈簧520,且該彈簧520組配成可提供一力使得該連接器閂鎖臂504返回未位移位置且因此變成完全接合在該SFP之凹部內。該拉片514之遠端516可被拉動以便由一SFP或適配器遠端地釋放該連接器500。該拉片514之近端518具有獨特之形狀以便與該窄間距LC連接器500之閂鎖臂504的獨特輪廓接合。該近端518接合該雙工LC連接器500之二閂鎖臂504。即,該近端518包括組配成可接合二連接器502之閂鎖臂的一單一接腳。在該拉片514之近端518具有多數朝外伸出銷522,且該等銷522係組配成可直接放在該雙工LC連接器502之閂鎖臂504的半圓形表面上方且沿其滑動。該等銷522之水平及向後路徑方向使該等連接器閂鎖臂504之半圓形輪廓向下彎曲。因為該等銷522未被收容在該等連接器閂鎖臂504之傾斜槽內,所以亦可在該等LC連接器502正後方之一位置處將該拉片514向下推,而不是由該等連接器後方之一遠端處,例如由該遠端516拉動該片向後移動。將該等連接器之一體槓桿或閂鎖臂504向下推的動作可解鎖該連接器500。在某些情形中,可不需要該拉片514之水平移動。因此,可向下推該等連接器閂鎖臂504且不產生該拉片514之一水平移動。The

該連接器1200更包括具有一遠端1216及一近端1218之一拉片1214。該拉片1214更包括一彈簧1220,且該彈簧1220組配成可提供一力使得該連接器閂鎖臂1204返回未位移位置且因此變成完全接合在該SFP之凹部內。該拉片1214之遠端1216可被拉動以便由一SFP或適配器遠端地釋放該連接器1200。該拉片1214之近端1218具有獨特之形狀以便與該窄間距多光纖連接器1200之閂鎖臂1204的獨特輪廓接合。該近端1218接合該多光纖連接器1200之二閂鎖臂1204。即,該近端1218包括組配成可接合該等閂鎖臂1204的一單一接腳。在該拉片1214之近端1218具有多數朝外伸出銷1222,且該等銷1222係組配成可直接放在該等閂鎖臂1204的半圓形表面上方且沿其滑動。該等銷1222之水平及向後路徑方向使該等連接器閂鎖臂1204之半圓形輪廓向下彎曲。因為該等銷1222未被收容在該等連接器閂鎖臂1204之傾斜槽內,所以亦可在該等閂鎖臂1204正後方之一位置處將該拉片1214向下推,而不是由該連接器後方之一遠端處,例如由該遠端1216拉動該片向後移動。將該等連接器之一體槓桿或閂鎖臂1204向下推的動作可解鎖該連接器1200。在某些情形中,可不需要該拉片1214之水平移動。因此,可向下推該等連接器閂鎖臂1204且不產生該拉片1214之一水平移動。The
圖12B與12C分別顯示該窄寬度多光纖連接器1200之俯視圖及前視圖。圖12B進一步顯示該連接器1200具有一9.6 mm之寬度。12B and 12C show a top view and a front view of the narrow
在上述各種實施例中,該等窄寬度連接器具有多數閂鎖臂,且該等閂鎖臂組配成與在一窄寬度SFP或一窄寬度適配器內之一固定或不可移動凹部接合。在這些實施例中,該連接器之拉片使該連接器之可撓閂鎖臂移動以使該閂鎖臂與該SFP或該適配器之凹部分離。例如,當該拉片被拉回時該等閂鎖臂向下彎曲,以使該連接器與該SFP或該適配器分離。In the various embodiments described above, the narrow width connectors have a plurality of latch arms, and the latch arms are configured to engage a fixed or non-removable recess in a narrow width SFP or a narrow width adapter. In these embodiments, the pull tab of the connector moves the flexible latch arm of the connector to disengage the latch arm from the recess of the SFP or the adapter. For example, the latch arms flex downward when the pull tab is pulled back to separate the connector from the SFP or the adapter.
在其他實施例中,如以下關於例如圖13A、13B、14與15進一步所述地,該遠端閂鎖釋放拉片可組配成與在該適配器或該SFP內之一閂鎖或一鉤耦合。在這些實施例中,該連接器之可撓閂鎖臂被移入該SFP或該適配器之主空腔中,且當該拉片在被一彈簧向前推之一正常位置時,該SFP或該適配器之閂鎖接合該連接器之一凹部。該拉片可組配成具有一傾斜區域使得當該拉片被拉回時,該SFP或該適配器之閂鎖被該拉回拉片抬高,藉此使該SFP或該適配器之閂鎖與該連接器分離。In other embodiments, as further described below with respect to, eg, Figures 13A, 13B, 14 and 15, the distal latch release pull tab can be assembled with a latch or a hook within the adapter or the SFP coupling. In these embodiments, the flexible latch arm of the connector is moved into the main cavity of the SFP or the adapter, and when the pull tab is in a normal position pushed forward by a spring, the SFP or the adapter The latch of the adapter engages a recess of the connector. The pull tab can be configured to have an inclined area such that when the pull tab is pulled back, the latch of the SFP or the adapter is lifted by the pull back pull tab, thereby allowing the latch of the SFP or the adapter to align with the pull-back tab. The connector is separated.

以下請參閱圖36A與36B,顯示的是一CS連接器被***一適配器中之說明例。如在此所述,該說明例所示之適配器包含如以下詳述地接合該CS連接器之多數部份的修改裝置。圖37顯示一CS連接器被***一適配器。當該連接器***該適配器殼體時,該修改裝置3720撞擊該CS連接器且與該CS連接器互動。在某些實施例中,當***該CS連接器時,該CS連接器之前部接觸該鉤斜面(圖35C之3522、圖32B與32C之3222及圖33B與33C之3322),且該鉤斜面將與該CS連接器互動之修改裝置的部份抬高。Referring now to Figures 36A and 36B, an illustrative example of a CS connector inserted into an adapter is shown. As described herein, the adapter shown in this illustrative example includes modifications to engage most portions of the CS connector as described in detail below. Figure 37 shows a CS connector inserted into an adapter. When the connector is inserted into the adapter housing, the
仍請參閱圖37,該修改裝置之移動顯示在放大圖3731與3732中。如圖所示,該隱藏(例如,虛)線表示該輪廓鉤斜面3122、3222與3322,且該等實線表示該等鉤尖端3121、3221與3321之輪廓。該等鉤3121、3221與3321升高至該連接器之表面上方以便讓該連接器***該適配器。該連接器到達在該適配器內之預定目的地後(例如,當達成一確實光纖連接時),該等鉤尖端3121、3221與3321與在該連接器上之一凹部3709互鎖。這互鎖動作在推入動作時藉由片將該連接器固定在該適配器殼體內。Still referring to FIG. 37, the movement of the modification device is shown in
以下請參閱圖38,重要的是應注意該推拉片3810之前部份3814如在此所述地與該前本體3801獨立地移動。因此,放大顯示之該推拉片3810的前部份3814可與前本體3801之凹部3816對齊。在這構態中,該等鉤尖端3121、3221與3321可將該連接器確實地固結在該適配器上。但是,依實施例不同,該推拉片3810可朝向前或向後方向移動(請參見圖31、32與33),因此使該等凹部3816未與該推拉片凹部對齊。當該推拉片3810之前部份3814移動而未對齊時,它透過該斜面3815與該鉤斜面3122、3222與3322互動。因此,在某些實施例中,使該推拉片3810與該前本體3801獨立地移動可容許該傾斜區域3815施加一力至該鉤斜面3122、3222與3322,藉此抬高該等鉤尖端3121、3221與3321。在抬高鉤尖端3121、3221與3321後,該連接器可由該適配器及/或收發器安全地移除。38, it is important to note that the

使用一CS連接器可產生一緊密光纖實施例及改良撓性。例如,在某些現有系統中,如圖44A所示,一200G收發器模組4401可收納一MPO連接器4402。該MPO連接器可接著使用如一扇出4403或一匣4406之另一工具分開。在該纜線分開後,它可與一100G模組裝置(例如,如圖所示之一LC uniboot)4404連接。該100G模組裝置4404可接著***一100G收發器4405中。Using a CS connector results in a compact fiber embodiment and improved flexibility. For example, in some existing systems, as shown in FIG. 44A, a 200G transceiver module 4401 can receive an MPO connector 4402. The MPO connector can then be separated using another tool such as a fan-out 4403 or a cassette 4406. After the cable is disconnected, it can be connected to a 100G modular device (eg, an LC uniboot as shown) 4404. The 100G module device 4404 can then be plugged into a 100G transceiver 4405.
或者,在某些實施例中,且如圖44B所示,多數CS連接器4406***一200G收發器模組4401中。各CS連接器4406可接著如圖44A所示地與該100獨立地連接,且一200G收發器模組4401可收納一MPO連接器4402。該MPO連接器可接著使用如一扇出4403或一匣4406之另一工具分開。在該纜線分開後,它可與一100G模組裝置(例如,如圖所示之一LC uniboot)4404連接。該100G模組裝置4404可接著***一100G收發器模組4405中。Alternatively, in some embodiments, and as shown in Figure 44B, the majority of CS connectors 4406 plug into a 200G transceiver module 4401. Each CS connector 4406 can then be independently connected to the 100 as shown in FIG. 44A, and a 200G transceiver module 4401 can receive an MPO connector 4402. The MPO connector can then be separated using another tool such as a fan-out 4403 or a cassette 4406. After the cable is disconnected, it can be connected to a 100G modular device (eg, an LC uniboot as shown) 4404. The 100G module device 4404 can then be inserted into a 100G transceiver module 4405.

所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可了解的是,通常,在此,且特別是在附加申請專利範圍(例如,附加申請專利範圍之主體)中所使用之用語通常是要作為「開放」用語(例如,該用語「包括有」應被解讀為「包括有但不限於」,該用語「具有」應被解讀為「具有至少」,該用語「包括」應被解讀為「包括但不限於」)。雖然各種組成物、方法、及裝置係透過「包含」各種組件或步驟來說明(解讀為表示「包括有但不限於」,該等組成物、方法、及裝置亦可「主要由各種組件及步驟構成」或「由各種組件及步驟構成」,且該用語應被解讀為界定大致封閉構件群。所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可進一步了解的是若意圖是一特定數目之引介請求陳述,該意圖將在該請求項中明白地陳述,而在無該陳述之情形下則沒有該意圖。例如,作為一了解之輔助,以下附加申請專利範圍可包含使用引介片語「至少一」及「一或多數」來引介請求陳述。但是,即使當相同請求項包括引介片語「至少一」及「一或多數」及如「一」之不定冠詞(例如,「一」應被解讀為表示「至少一」或「一或多數」)時,使用該等片語亦不應被視為暗示藉由該不定冠詞「一」引介一請求陳述會將包含該引介請求陳述限制之任一特定請求項限制於只包含一該陳述之實施例;這情形對於使用用以引介請求陳述之定冠詞亦同樣為真。此外,即使明白地陳述一特定數目之引介請求陳述,所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者亦可了解該陳述應被解讀為表示至少該所述數目(例如,沒有其他修飾語之「二陳述」的裸陳述表示至少二陳述、或二或二以上陳述)。此外,在使用類似於「A、B與C中之至少一者等」之慣例的情形中,就所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可了解該慣例方面而言,通常該構造是可預期(例如,「一種具有A、B與C中之至少一者」將包括但不限於只具有A、只具有B、只具有C、具有A與B、具有A與C、具有B與C、及/或具有A、B與C等之系統)。在使用類似於「A、B或C中之至少一者等」之慣例的情形中,就所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可了解該慣例方面而言,通常該構造是可預期(例如,「一種具有A、B或C中之至少一者」將包括但不限於只具有A、只具有B、只具有C、具有A與B、具有A與C、具有B與C、及/或具有A、B與C等之系統)。所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可進一步了解的是事實上應了解表示二或二以上選擇用語之任何選言字及/或片語,不論在說明、申請專利範圍或圖式中,均可預期包括該等用語中之一用語、該等用語中之任一用語、或兩用語的可能性。例如,可了解該片語「A或B」包括「A」或「B」或「A與B」之可能性。It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that, generally, and particularly in the scope of the additional claims (eg, the subject of the additional claims), terms used are generally intended as "open" terms ( For example, the term "including" should be read as "including but not limited to", the term "having" should be read as "having at least", and the term "including" should be read as "including but not limited to") . Although various compositions, methods, and devices are described as "comprising" various components or steps (read to mean "including but not limited to", such compositions, methods, and devices may also be "consisting primarily of various components and steps" "consists of" or "consisting of various components and steps," and this term should be read to define a generally closed group of components. Those of ordinary skill in the art will further appreciate that if the intent is a specific number of referral request statements, the Intent will be expressly stated in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation there would be no such intent. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following additional claims may include the use of the introductory phrases "at least one" and "one" However, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases "at least one" and "one or more" and an indefinite article such as "a" (e.g., "a" should be read to mean "at least one" "a" or "one or more"), nor should the use of these phrases be taken to imply that introducing a claim statement by the indefinite article "a" would limit any particular claim that contains the restriction of the introductory request statement This is also true for the use of definite articles for introducing request statements. Furthermore, even if a specific number of introductory request statements are explicitly stated, those of ordinary skill in the art can Understand that the statement should be read to mean at least that stated number (eg, a bare statement of "two statements" without other modifiers means at least two statements, or two or more statements). In the case of a convention of at least one of B and C, etc.", the construction is generally expected insofar as the convention can be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art (eg, "a type having A, B, and C "At least one of" will include, but is not limited to, systems with A only, B only, C only, A and B, A and C, B and C, and/or A, B and C, etc. ). In situations where a convention like "at least one of A, B, or C, etc." is used, the construction is generally expected insofar as the convention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art (eg, , "a having at least one of A, B, or C" will include, but is not limited to, having only A, having only B, having only C, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and/or systems with A, B, and C, etc.). Those of ordinary skill in the art will further appreciate that any word choice and/or phrase representing two or more choice words should in fact be understood, whether in the description, The possibility of including one of these terms, either of these terms, or both terms can be expected to be included in the scope of the claim or in the drawings. For example, it can be understood that the phrase "A or B" includes " The possibility of A" or "B" or "A and B".
此外,雖然本揭示之特徵及態樣藉由馬庫許(Markush)群組來說明,但所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可了解本揭示亦因此藉由該馬庫許群組之任一獨立構件或子群組之構件來說明。In addition, although the features and aspects of the present disclosure are described by means of the Markush group, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the present disclosure is therefore by any independent member of the Markush group. components or subgroup components.
如所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可了解地,就任一或所有方面而言,例如就提供一書面說明而言,在此揭露之所有範圍亦包含任一或所有可能子範圍及其子範圍之組合。任何列舉之範圍可輕易地被認可為充分地說明且使相同範圍可分成至少相等兩份、三等份、四等份、五等份、十等份等。作為一非限制例,在此所述之各範圍可輕易地分成一下三分之一、一中間三分之一、及一上三分之一。如所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者亦可了解地,例如「至多」、「至少」等所有語言包括所述之數目且表示可接著被分成如上述之子範圍的多數範圍。最後,如所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可了解地,一範圍包括各獨立構件。因此,例如,具有1至3單元之一群組表示具有1、2或3單元之群組。類似地,具有1至5單元之一群組表示具有1、2、3、4或5單元之群組,諸如此類。As can be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, all ranges disclosed herein also include any or all possible sub-ranges and their sub-ranges in any or all respects, such as providing a written description. combination. Any recited range can be readily recognized as sufficiently stated and such that the same range can be divided into at least two equal parts, three equal parts, four equal parts, five equal parts, ten equal parts, etc. As a non-limiting example, the ranges described herein can be easily divided into a lower third, a middle third, and an upper third. As will also be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, all languages such as "at most," "at least," etc. include the stated number and represent a plurality of ranges that can then be divided into sub-ranges as described above. Finally, as can be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, a range includes each individual component. Thus, for example, a group with 1 to 3 cells represents a group with 1, 2, or 3 cells. Similarly, a group with one of 1 to 5 cells represents a group with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 cells, and so on.
應了解的是各種以上揭露及其他特徵與功能,或其替代物,可依需要組合成許多其他不同系統或應用。所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可接著作成各種目前未預見或預期之替代物、修改、變化或改良,且所揭露之實施例亦意圖包含各替代物、修改、變化或改良。It should be appreciated that various of the above-disclosed and other features and functions, or alternatives thereof, may be desirably combined into many other different systems or applications. Various alternatives, modifications, changes, or improvements that are not currently foreseen or anticipated may be accepted by those of ordinary skill in the art, and the disclosed embodiments are also intended to include such alternatives, modifications, changes, or improvements.
