Abstract: An apparatus for gating an optical signal comprising: an input stage (70, 72, 74, 62, 64) arranged to receive and combine first and second optical control signals (ON, OFF) of first and second wavelengths, and an optical signal (SIGNAL IN) to be gated of a third wavelength. A gain medium (66) is arranged to receive the signals SIGNAL IN, ON and OFF from the input stage. The gain medium (e.g. YAG) comprises a transition metal dopant (e.g. Cr<4+>) that has an excited state populatable by the first control signal and depopulatable by the second control signal to allow selective amplification of the optical signal to be gated by stimulated emission from the excited state responsive to the control signals. The amplification process has a very fast switch-on time that is several orders of magnitude faster than in prior art devices based on the rare earth dopant Er<3+>. This allows the apparatus to be used for high-speed optical switching applications, such as routing of data packets in an optical packet switching network. After transmission of the optical signals through the gain medium, an output stage comprising a wavelength selective filter (68) is used to reject the control signals (ON, OFF) but transmit the optical signal for output (SIGNAL OUT) from the apparatus. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A beverage dispensing apparatus being formed so as in use to provide a vortex motion in the mass of beverage flowing through the apparatus. In the vortexial flow, a low pressure area is produced at the center of the vortex so that the pressure in that region falls below equilibrium pressure and thus results in gas separating out from the liquid beverage. Since the gas breakout is achieved without the need for a flow restrictor, the pressure drop associated with these devices does not occur. Consequently, the beverage may enter the apparatus at a lower pressure. Moreover it has been found that a high quality head is formed on the draught beverage dispensed from the apparatus of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable brace (1) comprising a pair of resilient elements (2, 3) which are interconnected at the ends (4, 5). The resilient elements are curved so that one element (2) is predominantly positioned externally in the brace, while the other element (3) is predominantly positioned internally in the brace. Means (6) are provided to cooperate with both elements between their ends to adjust the distance between the elements. If the means are affected in a direction toward each other, e.g. halfway along the brace, tensile forces will be generated in the internal element and compressive forces in the external element and the resulting force will cause the brace to curve additionally. The field of use is preferably for braces which are to extent behind the ear to hold a loudspeaker, side bars of a pair of glasses, etc. which are to be adapted to an individual anatomy.

Abstract: A dispensing closure (18) for a container (10) of liquid product (70, 72) which is sealed by a piercable diaphragm (16). The closure includes a piercing member 924) which is moveable through a predetermined distance towards the container and which has a cutting edge arranged to pierce the diaphragm to form a dispensing aperture. At the end of its movement towards the interior of the container, the piercing member is arranged to plug the dispensing aperture against escape of the product when the container is inverted prior to dispensing. The closure is particularly useful for liquid products which tend to separate into a lighter (70) and heavier (72) fraction during storage. The closure prevents dripping of the lighter fraction when the container is inverted and allows the heavier fraction to displace the lighter fraction adjacent to the dispensing aperture before dispensing occurs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing waste streams wherein a slipstream is formed on the upstream side of an ultrafiltration membrane (120) to carry collected and concentrated filter reject to a microfilter (170) via a conduit (155) at low flux through the microfilter (170). The low flux allows the particles to form an irregular matrix that itself helps to trap particles. The effluent from this matrix and microfilter (170) is returned upstream of the ultrafiltration membrane (120) to be repeatedly collected and concentrated. The suspended solids removed from the reject stream and microfilter (170) are then disposed of without further processing. To improve metal ion removal efficiency, sulfide compounds, etc. can be injected upstream of ultrafiltration membrane (120). A combination of ozone and water can be used to backflush or to clean the ultrafiltration membrane (120). The backflushing water can be filtrate from the ultrafiltration membrane (120).

Abstract: A ventilated shoe (10) having an external layer (20), a reinforcing layer (30), and an internal layer (40), with both the external layer (20) and the internal layer (40) being made from a ventilated mesh material. The reinforcing layer (30) provides a structure for reinforcing the shoe, and is generally positioned between a portion of the external layer (20) and the internal layer (40). The reinforcing layer (30) is sized and configured to permit the transmission of the fitting stress given by the shoes laces on the eyelets (22), to the sole portion of the shoe, thereby providing the upper portion (12) of the shoe with durability and stability. The reinforcing layer (30) is configured to provide the maximum amount of structural stability and durability to the shoe, while generally being utilized over a minimum area of the shoe in order to provide the shoe with the maximum porosity. The shoe (10) includes stitching (44) that connects the external layer to the reinforcing layer (30), which does not restrict the free flow of fluid along the internal layer (40), thereby allowing the fluid to travel along the internal layer (40) and exit the shoe via open areas where a reinforcing layer is not present. <IMAGE>
