Abstract: To suppress an OH peak in an optical fibre at a wavelength of about
1385 nm, irrespective of how the fibre has been drawn from a preform and
even if the fibre is exposed to hydrogen, a preform structure is proposed
comprising at least two cladding layers, the outer layer having a viscosity
greater than the inner cladding layer. The outer cladding may be formed
from silica glass containing some crystalline silica (natural or synthesised).
The inner clad may be doped with Cl, Ge, F, P and the outer clad of
undoped or less doped silica glass. A method of manufacturing the preform comprises
unifying a tube containing the higher viscocity outer clad material and a
rod comprising at least the core and inner clad forming material. The

Abstract: Described is a method for determining the concentration of an analyte in a
future sample that is measured on a second apparatus. This method
involves incorporating, in a second apparatus, at least one primary calibration
algorithm that is developed using absorbances of samples from a primary
calibration set. The absorbances. which are optionally pre-processed prior to
primary calibration algorithm development, are obtained from one or more
first apparatus. The absorbance values of the future sample are measured
on the second apparatus at one or more than one wavelength from a
standard set of wavelengths, and a concentration of the analyte in the future
sample is calculated by applying the Primary Calibration Algorithm to the
optionally pre-processed absorbance of the future sample obtained from the
second apparatus.

Abstract: The invention provides an expansion valve equipped to an
air conditioning system that has a relief valve for discharging
the refrigerant in the system in case of an emergency. An
expansion valve 1 controls the flow rate of a refrigerant in
a valve chamber 14 into which high-pressure refrigerant is
introduced by adjusting the gap between a valve means 40 and
a valve seat 16, and sends the refrigerant into a passage 20
leading to an evaporator. A solenoid relief valve 100 has a
plunger 140 operated by a magnet coil 120, by which a pilot valve
seat 152 of a relief valve body 150 is regularly closed. The
high-pressure refrigerant introduced to a relief valve chamber
164 of the relief valve body 150 presses the relief valve means
160, regularly closing the valve of the relief valve seat 28.
When electricity is supplied to a coil 120, the plunger 140 is
attracted toward an attractor 130 and the pilot valve is opened.
The relief valve is also opened so that the refrigerant is
discharged through a passage 158 to the atmosphere.
