Patent EP-1219053-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ZOUGANELI PARASKEVI
IPC: H04B10/20
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: An optical network, which may be an all-optical network, including passive wavelength routers is described. Methods for implementing such networks as well as different router configurations which may be used in optical networks are also disclosed. The routing functionality in the all-optical network can be done in the optical domain without switching elements at the nodes. This is achieved by routers which are passive and preferably operative to route wavelength bands. A mesh can be used as the network configuration. The optical networks described can be used to facilitate the transmission of higher network protocols, such as internet protocol (IP) packets or ATM-cells, purely in the optical domain.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de produit composite comprenant un noyau de matériau alvéolaire et au moins une enveloppe à base de matériau thermoplastique avec un renforcement. Une étape importante consiste à profiler le produit dans un moule de profilage par pressage. L'enveloppe et le noyau sont introduits dans le moule encore à l'état de plastique non consolidé. Au moins un élément mobile du moule est ensuite déplacé pour exercer une première pression relativement élevée sur l'ébauche du produit, ce qui lui confère un profil relativement comprimé alors que le noyau est toujours à l'état de plastique. Ensuite, au moins un élément mobile du moule est retiré, moyennant quoi l'ébauche peut s'étendre, trouver sa forme finale et se consolider. L'invention concerne également un moule de profilage par pressage pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé.

Abstract: Il a été constaté que les caractéristiques de résistance d'un fil élastique s'améliorent lorsque le fil est chauffé. Cette invention concerne donc un procédé visant à améliorer les caractéristiques de résistance d'un fil élastique en chauffant le fil. Le fil peut ête chauffé par conduction et/ou convection thermique selon des procédés d'irradiation telle que rayonnement infrarouge ou émission de micro-ondes. Si le fil élastique est fabriqué à un endroit différent de celui où il est utilisé comme matière première, il peut être chauffé à l'un ou l'autre de ces endroits ou aux deux endroits. De plus, le fil peut être chauffé en ligne, c.-à-d. dans le cadre de son processus de fabrication ou de son processus d'utilisation comme matière première, ou hors ligne, c.-à-d. dans une étape distincte de l'un ou l'autre des processus précités. Enfin, lors du traitement thermique du fil, l'exposition du fil à l'eau ou à la vapeur d'eau peut être régulée afin de freiner ou d'éliminer la dégradation de la résistance.

Abstract: A rapid method is provided for the on-line spectroscopic determination of lignin content and/or kappa number in wood pulps. Unlike currently available commercial instrumentation, the method enables one to measure lignin content independently of species variations and pulp consistency. The method includes the steps of: (1) withdrawing high-consistency samples of wood pulp from a chemical pulp manufacturing process; (2) subjecting these samples to a monochromatic visible-light source; (3) recording the resulting scattered light and its Raman spectrum over a predetermined range of wave numbers so as to produce Raman-scattered light intensity measurements; (4) determining either the uncorrected, baseline-corrected and/or integrated Raman-scattered light intensity of the samples over a predetermined range of wavenumbers shown by different combinations of lignin content, cellulose content, and consistency; (5) correlating by either univariate or multivariate calibration the relationships between the Raman-scattered light intensity measurements of unknown samples and the Raman-scattered light intensity shown by known combinations of lignin content, cellulose content, and consistency so that the lignin content and/or kappa number in wood pulps can be accurately determined over a Kappa range of 5 to 110 and preferably 5 to 20, for any levels of sample cellulose content or pulp consistency.

Abstract: Nineteen strains of  Lactobacillus , 2 strains of  Lactococcus , 1 strain of  Pediococcus, 4 
strains of  Propionibacterium  and 23 strains of  Bifidobacterium  were screened for their
ability to produce conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) from linoleic acid. Of these, 7 strains of
 Bifidobacterium , as well as 2 strains of  Propionibacterium  produced the  cis-9, trans -11 CLA
isomer from linoleic acid. In contrast, strains of  Lactobacillus, Lactococcus  and
 Pediococcus  lacked the ability to synthesise CLA. CLA ( cis -9,  trans- 11 isomer) production
by the genus  Bifidobacterium  was shown to exhibit considerable interspecies variation, with  B .
 breve  and  B .  dentium  being the most efficient producers among the strains tested, yielding up
to 65 % conversion of linoleic acid to CLA at linoleic acid concentrations of 0.2-1.0 mg/ml
in MRS medium. The growth of  B. breve  strains was inhibited by increasing concentrations of
linoleic acid. Viability of  B. breve  2257 was unaffected in the presence of up to 0.5 mg/ml
linoleic acid for 48 h but was dramatically reduced to 1.5% survival at 1 mg/ml linoleic acid.
However, viability of the  B .  breve  strains NCFB2258, NCTC 11815, NCIMB 8815 and
NCIMB 8807 was reduced to < 60 % at linoleic acid concentrations of 0.2 mg/ml. These data
suggest that certain strains of bifidobacteria may have applications to elevate CLA content of
food products and CLA status in humans.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a power failure recovery mechanism for a recording and reproducing device such as a DVD player, wherein a recording indication information and a recovery pointer information is written in a non-volatile random access memory, while a recovery information is recorded on a record carrier such as a recordable optical disc. At a power-up operation, the recording indication information is used to determine a power failure and the pointer information is used to reproduce the recovery information in case of a determined power failure. Thus, the pointer information indicates the location of incremental recovery data structures on the record carrier, such that a recovery can be achieved after a power failure without requiring a restart of the entire recording.

Abstract: An optical transmission line with reduced splice loss, and methods for fabricating an
optical transmission line with reduced splice loss, are described. In one described
method, a length of dispersion-compensating fiber, or other suitable first transmission
fiber, is spliced to a first end of a length of a bridge fiber. The splice is heated to a
maximum temperature to cause a measurable reduction in splice loss. The temperature
of the splice is then ramped down to room temperature, such that the reduction in splice
loss is maintained. A second end of the bridge fiber is then spliced to a length of a
second transmission fiber. Further described is a technique for determining the maximum
temperature for heating the splice between the first transmission fiber and the bridge
fiber.
