Title: Belt tensioner with reduced tilt action on support structure and method for installing the same
Inventor: LEHTOVAARA JORMA J
IPC: F16H7/24
Filed: 1999-03-12
Abstract: A belt tensioner for a motor vehicle engine comprises a pivot shaft and an eccentric pivoted structure mounted for pivoted movement on the pivot shaft. The belt tensioner has a rotatable pulley member mounted for rotation on the eccentric pivoted structure. A spring is constructed and arranged to bias the eccentric pivoted structure in a direction tending to force the rotatable pulley member into tensioning engagement with a belt trained about the pulley member. A mounting bolt is constructed and arranged to mount the belt tensioner on the motor vehicle engine, said pivot shaft being movable relative to said mounting bolt and towards said belt during a belt tensioner installation procedure. A linear guiding structure provides surfaces of interengagement between said belt tensioner and said motor vehicle engine to limit movement of the pivot shaft to linear movement toward the belt during the installation procedure. The present invention also relates to a method of installing a belt tensioner in which the pivot shaft moves in a substantially exactly linear fashion as the tensioner is moved into tensioning engagement with the belt. In a preferred embodiment, when the belt tensioner is moved into tensioning engagement with the belt, an external force is applied to the tensioner to balance any belt load forces tending to tilt the tensioner during installation. The present invention also discloses a tensioner that has contact portions that oppose the tilting force applied by the belt during installation, and a portion that extends beyond the contact portions to facilitate installation.

Patent AU-3287684-A (AU)
Title: Optical amplifier
Inventor: SHAW HERBERT JOHN
IPC: G02F1/39
Filed: 1984-09-10
Abstract: A fiber optic amplifier utilizes a crystal fiber of laser material to bidirectionally amplify light signals. This amplifier permits the application of both pumping illumination and the signal to be amplified to the end of the crystal fiber to avoid the disadvantages inherent in side pumping this fiber. End pumping is accomplished by taking advantage of the slow spontaneous fluorescence of the laser crystal to sequentially apply the pumping illumination and then the signal to be amplified to the crystal. This sequential application of signals is made possible through the use of a switchable coupler which allows light to be selectively coupled from either of a pair of input optical fibers to a single output optical fiber which is coupled to the crystal fiber. The pumping illumination is initially supplied to the crystal fiber to invert the ions within the crystal. Once these ions are inverted, the coupler is switched to permit the application of the signal to be amplified to the crystal, and the application of pumping illumination is temporarily discontinued. The signal to be amplified propagates through the crystal to stimulate emission of coherent light from the laser material resulting in amplification of the signal. When this amplification process is complete, pumping illumination is again applied through the switch to the crystal fiber.
