Abstract: Devolatilisation of molten polymer is carried out
using a vertical static mixer (1) which opens directly
into a flash tank (4). Expansion of a stripping agent
injected at an inlet of the static mixer occurs in the
static mixer and the continued shearing causes
disengagement of the vapour from the polymer, so that
expansion is complete before the polymer enters the flash
tank (4) and stripper and volatiles are removed by a pump
and condenser arrangement (12) which holds the flash tank
at a reduced pressure. Polymer outlets (5,6) are in the
floor of the flash tank and have metering pumps (7,8) at
their bottom end.

Abstract: A shock absorber (20) includes a valve assembly (60) with a low speed
oil flow circuit and a mid/high speed oil flow circuit. Both
circuits control fluid flow through the valve assembly in the
same direction. The low speed oil flow circuit is tunable in

Abstract: A system for measuring optical characteristics of a multiport optical device (220) uses
optical heterodyne detection and known port-specific transmission delays (260, 262,
264, and 266) to simultaneously monitor multiple ports of the multiport optical device
with a single receiver (212). An embodiment of a system includes a splitter (208)
configured to split a swept optical signal into a reference signal and a test signal and a
test system input (256), connectable to the multiport optical device, for transmitting
the test signal to the multiport optical device. The test system also includes an optical
combiner (210) and the receiver. The optical combiner is connectable to the multiport
optical device to receive a first portion of the test signal having a first port-specific
transmission delay and to receive a second portion of the test signal having a second
port-specific transmission delay. The optical combiner combines the first portion of
the test signal having the first transmission delay and the second portion of the test
signal having the second transmission delay with the reference signal. The receiver is
connected to the optical combiner to detect a first optical heterodyne signal that is
generated from the combined first portion of the test signal and the reference signal
and to detect a second optical heterodyne signal that is generated from the combined
second portion of the test signal and the reference signal. The system includes port-specific
transmission delay units connected to ports of the multiport device and each
of the port-specific transmission delay units imparts a different transmission delay on
an optical signal.

Abstract: A system for converting a single input beam of light into a plurality of
spatially or angularly shifted output beams, each having a different wavelength
supplies the single input beam of light to the first of a plurality of cascaded acousto-optical
and/or stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) wavelength-shifting devices in
optical communication with each other. This causes the first wavelength-shifting
device to produce a first output beam having a wavelength shifted from that of the
input beam. The output beam from each of the cascaded wavelength-shifting devices
is supplied to the next such device to cause each successive wavelength-shifting
device to produce an output beam having a wavelength shifted from the wavelength
of the input beam to that device. Thus, variations in the wavelength of the input
beam or in temperature or strain of the wavelength-shifting devices will cause the
wavelengths of the output beams to uniformly vary, thus maintaining constant intra-wavelength
spacings among the output beams.
