IPC: H01S3/06
Filed: 1993-08-04
Abstract: A wavelength stabilization apparatus and method for a superfluorescent source (52) comprising a SFS (superfluorescent source) comprising a fiber with a core doped with lazing material. The SFS source produces SFS light with an SFS wavelength when pumped with pump light from a pump light source (12) having a pump light wavelength. An output controller responds to a sample of the SFS light and operates to maximize the power of the sample of SFS light by automatically adjusting the pump light wavelength. The output controller also has a pump power controller (78) responsive to a sample of the pump light from the pump light source for stabilizing the output power of the sample of the pump light with respect to a predetermined reference output power level.

Abstract: A process for producing an alkadienol which comprises reacting a conjugated alkadiene with water in a reaction solvent in the presence of a palladium catalyst, separating the solvent from the resultant reaction mixture by distilling the mixture under the condition wherein the temperature of the bottom oil in a distillation column is 120 °C or below while directly feeding hot water and/or steam as the heat-transfer medium to the column, and subjecting the bottom to phase separation. This process causes neither the decomposition and/or polymerization of the formed alkadienol nor the metallation of the palladium catalyst, and hence serves to inhibit the loss of the alkadienol and the catalyst and provide the objective alkadienol in a high yield.

Date Feb. 17, 1994A process and a device for biologically treating an organic waste mixture containing organically polluted waste water and solid components. The process and the device involve exposing the organic waste mixture to a first decomposition stage where the solid components and the waste water are separated from one another and where the solid components are decomposed under predominantly aerobic conditions. The waste water is then passed to a second decomposition stage where the waste water is decomposed under anoxic conditions. Thereafter, the waste water is passed to a third decomposition stage where the waste water is decomposed again under aerobic conditions thereby creating recirculation water. At least a portion of the recirculation water is returned from the third decomposition stage to the first decomposition stage for continuously recirculating water through and between respective decomposition stages.

Title: Improvements relating to a tamper evident ring for a container closure.
Inventor: KING WITNEY MILNER
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1993-11-15
Abstract: A closure is threadedly securable to a container neck (70). The closure carries a tamper evident ring (80) which includes a collar from which extend a plurality of inwardly inclined resilient tabs (82). The tabs can flex outwardly relative to each other without stressing substantially the collar to enable the ring to fit easily over a projecting bead (72) on the neck. Ratchet stops (74) on the neck engage the tabs (82) to enable the ring to rotate relative to the neck in a screwing-on direction, but to restrict rotation in the opposite direction. When the closure is removed for the first time, the tabs (82) abut the ratchet stops (74) and the bead (72) to release the ring from the closure and to retain the ring securely on the neck. The ring can be of plastics and integrally joined to the closure by severable connections.
