Abstract: An electromagnetically actuator is disclosed having an electromagnet, a core element, the core element having a normally biased initial spaced apart first position distal from the electromagnet when the electromagnet is off and a second stop position proximal from the electromagnet when the electromagnet is on, a first resilient member adapted to bias said core element in the normally biased first position, and a second resilient member adapted to bias the electromagnet away from the core. The first resilient member is more resilient than the second resilient member. Therefore, the core approaches the electromagnet when the electromagnet is on until the core reaches the fixed stop position, and the electromagnet subsequently approaches the core to the fixed stop position. The actuator may further include an adjustment member that engages the electromagnet so as to control the pressure of the electromagnet against the second resilient member, whereby the axial position of the electromagnet is controlled.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of hydrocarbon analyte in at least one of a liquid and vapor state. The apparatus (21) includes an optical fiber (22), an absorber-expander (31) mechanically coupled (32) to the optical fiber (22) to produce a change in transmission of light along the fiber (22) upon absorption of the hydrocarbon (33). The absorber-expander (31) is selected to absorb hydrocarbons, but not water, and to be capable of multiple reversible expansion and contraction cycles without significant structural degradation. Methyl terminated, silica and iron oxide filled, dimethyl polysiloxane provides a material which will experience substantial swelling in the presence of a hydrocarbon and yet is substantially reversible on desorption of the hydrocarbon from the absorber-expander (31). The method includes positioning an optical fiber (22) having such an absorber-expander (31) for absorption of hydrocarbons and detecting the decrease in light transmission produced by expansion of the absorber-expander (31), for example, by one of microbending and axial misalignment. The location of the absorber-expander (31) along strand (22) can be determined by optical time domain reflectometry or by digital sensing nodes (122), and multiple couplings (57) and biasing couplings (153) for mounting the absorber-expanders (152) to the optical fiber (151) can be used to enhance sensitivity.

Abstract: An improved laser diode assembly includes a laser diode unit which is mounted directly on a compact thermoelectric cooler, which is mounted on a heat sink. A thermally insulating gasket, mounted around the thermoelectric cooler, seals the thermoelectric cooler from the ambient environment, thereby preventing condensation from forming on the cold face of the thermoelectric cooler. A bushing concentrically positions the laser diode unit in the proper optical alignment with respect to the optical assembly, while thermally and electrically insulating the laser diode. A thermally conductive gasket, mounted around the circumference of the laser diode window, returns heat from the heat sink to the window to prevent condensation from forming on the window. The laser diode is the only component cooled by the thermoelectric cooler. Since a portion of the heat transferred by the thermoelectric cooler is utilized to warm the laser diode window, a separate heating element is not required. This increases the overall efficiency of the laser diode assembly.
