Patent EP-1160940-A1 (EP)
Inventor: INJEYAN HAGOP NMI
IPC: H01S3/093
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: An optical amplifier (20, 100) includes an elongated slab (22, 102) of solid state
lasing material, such as a rare earth doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) slab. In order
to provide a relatively increased absorption length and thus a higher overall efficiency, the
optical amplifier (20, 100) in accordance with the present invention incorporates end
pumping in which the pumped light is coaligned with the amplified light resulting in
relatively longer absorption lengths and higher overall efficiencies. The coaligned pumped
sources are directed to lateral faces of the slab (22, 102) which include footprints (41, 43,
108) or windows. In order to cause internal reflection of the pump beam along the lasing
axis, the end faces (28, 30, 110) are formed at about a 45° angle relative to the longitudinal
axis which causes the pumped light to be reflected within the slab co-axially with
amplified light. In order to confine the absorption of the pumped light to the center portion
of the slab (22, 102), the slab (22, 102) may be formed from a composite material with the
opposing end portions of the slab formed from an undoped host material while the center
portion of the slab along the longitudinal axis is formed from a doped host material. Such
a configuration provides relatively low residual thermal lensing with virtually no
birefringence. In one embodiment, the pumping light from the diode arrays is coupled to
the slab (22, 102) by way of lenses (54) or lens ducts (FIG. 1). In an alternate
embodiment, the pumping light is coupled to the slab (22, 102) by way of optical fibers
(104, 106). In yet another embodiment (FIG. 8), the pumping light and laser beams are
interchanged forming a low-loss straight through slab with end pumped architecture.

Abstract: A method for preparing scrap iron to be fed to steelmaking electric furnaces and an apparatus for carrying out it, the method consisting in producing, separately from the flue gas disposal system of the steelmaking furnace, hot gases in a gas generation chamber. The hot gases generated in the chamber are conveyed so that they flow through the scrap to be fed to the steelmaking furnace in order to preheat the scrap. The gases used to preheat the scrap are then conveyed into a reheating chamber (5) which is kept at a controlled temperature by means of regenerative burners (6). The gases are retained in the reheating chamber (5) for a preset time before they are returned to preheat the scrap or discharged into the atmosphere.

Abstract: A route selection data storage unit 7 stores route
selection data which are created from original data describing
a detailed road system. When a plurality of crossings and a
plurality of roads which are expressed on the road system in
the original data satisfy prescribed conditions, these
crossings and roads are integrated with each other
respectively and recorded in the route selection data. The
route selection data include a passage link table, so that
links which are deleted by integration of the crossings are
not missed. The passage link table records links which are
deleted due to the integration of the crossings but passed in
practice with reference to approach and escape links as to the
respective crossings integrated with each other. An optimum
route search unit 6 searches for the optimum route between a
starting place and a destination which are designated by a
position detection unit and/or a spot input unit 5 through the
route selection data. When the optimum route obtained through
the search passes through the integrated crossings, the
optimum route search unit 6 supplements the deleted links with
corresponding passage links recorded in the passage link
table.

La séquence cible à action catalytique et l'une ou plusieurs des séquences comprenant chacune des bases essentielles et conservées possédant une activité catalytique peuvent être associées de façon constitutive. Ce ribozyme est utile à la fois dans des applications diagnostiques et thérapeutiques.
