Abstract: This bidirectional transmission system, especially by optical fibre, between a terminal called the source terminal and a terminal called the user terminal, using a single carrier for both transmission directions and arising from a source localised in the source terminal, includes, for each transmission direction, means for modulating one of the parameters of the said carrier, this parameter being different for these two directions, with an exception in the case of the intensity for which it may be the same, and in all cases with the condition that if the modulation applied first, namely for transmission from the source terminal to the user terminal, is an intensity modulation, it is so with a modulation factor small enough to permanently leave power on which that applied second, namely for transmission from the user terminal to the source terminal, may be exerted. <IMAGE>

IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 1993-08-25
Abstract: A fluid pressure regulator of compact construction including an improved diaphragm-valve assembly interposed between a flow body (20) and a second body cap element (50). The flow body has an inlet and outlet passage (22,30) and a valve cavity with a centrally disposed ported valve insert (40) to allow the regulated passage of fluid. Mounted to the flow body, the cap element confines a diaphragm (70) of the diaphragm-valve assembly and houses an adjustable coil-spring (120) biased against the assembly. The diaphragm-valve assembly includes a ring-shaped diaphragm element (70) interlocated between a circular element (75) central to the diaphragm and a diaphragm compression limiting clamp plate ring (90). The circular element has a central recess (78) over the valve insert which houses a spring-backed self-aligning ball valve element (80) having a flat chordal surface (82) adjacent the insert. A convolute (100) in the diaphragm element provides a more consistent effective area in relation to the valve stroke during operation improving pressure regulation and reducing stretching of the diaphragm preventing tearing, rupture or undesirable hysteresis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fixing agent, for fixing organic and inorganic impurities containing material, which comprises an organophilic clay material and a clay-growth agent. The clay-growth agent comprises at least one magnesium compound and/or at least one aluminium compound, and an initiator for clay formation. This initiator is a silicon-containing material, such as a glass or a silicon-containing rock, such as pumice, basalt or andasite. The magnesium compound preferably originates from granulated blast furnace slags, or is magnesium oxide, whereas the aluminium compound is expediently aluminium oxide or an alumina containing material. An oxidising agent can also be present. A method for fixing organic and inorganic impurities containing material to an at least partially organophilic clay material in an aqueous medium, and, if desired, hardening the resulting material using an inorganic reagent and, where appropriate, a hardening activator, is also described. This method is in particular characterised in that the organic and inorganic impurities containing material is also fixed to and/or enclosed in clay material to be formed in situ. Finally, a synthetic clay material is described which can be obtained from a mixture of ferric sulphate, magnesium oxide and/or aluminium oxide, potassium persulphate, silicon oxide and, optionally, manganese sulphate and/or aluminium sulphate.
