Patent EP-0527652-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BURGI DEAN S
IPC: G01N30/74
Filed: 1992-08-13
Abstract: On-column optical detection apparatus and method for use with capillary separation columns are shown. The apparatus and method minimize the adverse effects of light scattered from the walls of the column, thereby improving detection sensitivity and providing greater dynamic range. Light from a conventional source is focussed onto a column. Spatial filter means are positioned in front of the column to prevent at least some light from striking the column wall. Another spatial filter is positioned in front of a light collecting means which gathers light emanating from the column. In a specific embodiment, a unique monolens design is shown comprising collecting and focussing lens formed as an integral unit with a bore for a capillary column.

Abstract: A railway track circuit system is described, in which there is a transmitter 15,16 and receiver 19,20 at each end of a track circuit section 4. Each receiver receives signals from the transmitter at the opposite end of the section and the received signals are analysed to determine whether a vehicle is present in the track circuit section. Where adjacent track circuit sections are also provided with a transmitter and a receiver at each of their ends, the transmitters 14,17 and receivers 18,21 at adjacent ends of adjacent track sections 3,5 can be connected to a track circuit unit 8,9 to allow that unit to check, when a vehicle appears to have left one track circuit section, that it has entered an adjacent section.

Abstract: The invention is a synchronous decoder for self-clocking signals which uses a single, high frequency reference clock signal. The incoming signal is sampled at a very high rate; a shift register temporarily stores the incoming samples. A window pointer register selects a particular bit of the shift register as the output signal. The position of the window pointer is maintained by a feedback loop which tracks any phase error in the incoming signal and shifts the window pointer accordingly. As a result, the output signal remains in phase lock with the incoming signal.

Abstract: In an optical receiver of the present invention, an optical signal is split into at least two light portions, and the light portions are respectively received by at least two tunable optical filters. The tunable optical filters are respectively capable of changing their transmission wavelengths. Transmitted lights through the tunable optical filters are received by at least two light receiving elements. The light receiving elements respectively supply outputs. A differential amplifier produces a difference signal from the outputs of the light receiving elements. In an optical FDM-FSK transmission system using the optical receiver, an optical FSK signal is received by utilizing the difference signal. The tracking operation of the tunable optical filters, whose object includes, for example, at least a center optical frequency of the tunable filters, can be readily performed.

Abstract: A numerical control device is arranged to calculate offset curves and generate signals for the movement of tools along said offset curves. The offset curves are derived from contour data, preferably in the form of cubic splines, describing the shape of a workpiece to be machined and from an offset value. By using Hermite's formula for approximation of the offset curves by splines, the number of spline segments is minimized while limiting the deviation between the splines and the offset curve to a preset tolerance value. Even when using moderate computing power, the calculation of the splines will in most circumstances be fast enough to be performed on-line without slowing down the throughput of the machining apparatus.

Abstract: A facsimile communication system and a communication apparatus reduce a loss time due to the synchronization of transmission/reception and shorten a communication time. 
     They also shorten a communication time in a full duplex communication mode and allow proper switching of the full duplex communication at the transmission/reception replacement. 
     DIS-CFR signals, EOP-DCN signals, NSS-TSI signals and TSI-DCS signals of a facsimile communication protocol are connected by synchronization signals so that the synchronization signals are sent even after the sending of the protocol signal. Thus, the sending of the synchronization signal for one second when the next protocol signal is sent is not necessary and a time required for the protocol signal is shortened. 
     An ANSam signal to disable a function of an echo suppressor is sent when a call is detected and a calling station thereafter sends a protocol signal and an image signal in a manner not to cause signal interruption of 50 ms or longer, and at transmission/reception replacement at the end of the image signal from the calling station, a called station sends an ANSam signal and sends a protocol signal.

Abstract: The purification of waste waters having a high nitrogen content is a process based upon activities of three groups of microorganisms and the said process permits nitrogen to be eliminated from non-diluted waste waters, especially from the animal production and processing plants, from a 2500 ppm level, especially from 1000 to 2000 ppm N, to less than 100 ppm N in the purified waste waters. The process is useful for liquid fraction of waste waters and provides also for oxidation of organic carbon besides the nitrogen reduction. The process is carried out in three successive steps:
     step a): anaerobic mineralization of organically bound nitrogen taking place mostly in the collecting tank;   step b) permits the completion of mineralization of organically bound nitrogen as biooxidative conversion of ammonium to oxidized forms and simultaneous bioreduction of a part of the product to nitrogen gas by means of an inoculum of a selection of nitrification bacteria. The ingredients of the waste water offer energy for redox bioconversions. There are necessary an aeration, a control of pH values in the range from 7.2 to 8.2, a maintenance of the temperature in the range from 12 to 25°C and stirring of the bioreactor contents;   step c): the completion of the denitrification conversion of oxidized forms of mineral nitrogen to nitrogen gas takes place in the same bioreactor after the introduction of adapted denitrification bacteria, interruption of aeration and energy enrichment with the liquid phase from the process step a).   
     The converted contents from the bioreactor are suitable for the separation of activated sludge and effluent which flows into open waters.

Abstract: A capacitance probe 26 is used on a coordinate measuring machine or machine tool to determine distance between the probe and a workpiece surface 30. To calibrate it, it is moved towards and/or away from the surface, and a series of readings of capacitance against distance moved are taken. These may then be used to determine calibration values, e.g. using a "best fit" algorithm with an equation relating the capacitance to the distance moved. Different calibration values may be obtained for different points on the surface, to take account of the different local shape at each point.
