Title: Method and arrangement for coupling a wave guide to a component
Inventor: STEIJER ODD
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 1997-01-22
Abstract: Optical components intended for telecommunications purposes must be manufactured and mounted with a great degree of accuracy, since a component, such as an optochip, when mounted must be coupled optically, electrically, mechanically and thermally at the same time. In order to obtain a right-angled geometry when using surface-emitting or surface-detecting components, and to obtain a reduced optical travel path and accurate fixation of an optofibre, a reflective surface (12) which slopes at an angle of 45 degrees is arranged between a light-conducting core (16) and the active surface (10) of an optochip, and the light-conducting core has been placed closer to the reflective surface by bevelling the optofibre (9) and fitting the fibre in a V-groove and accurately fixating the fibre in the groove by means of a flat cover means (20). The aforesaid solutions relate generally to problems of a geometrical nature, but are able to provide important advantages in the arrangement of optical components in so-called optical micro-structures in comparison with earlier known techniques with regard to requirements of space, signal transmission performances and manufacturing costs.

Filed: 1998-07-29
Abstract: A power distribution unit for supplying temporary branch power has a 240-250 VAC input with input power line conductors L1 and L2, a neutral conductor N, and a ground conductor G. A supervisory circuit checks that the 240-250 VAC input is properly connected to the power distribution unit by requiring that the input voltage exceeds a supervisory circuit threshold voltage substantially greater than 120-125 volts. When that occurs, a contactor is enabled by the supervisory circuit to close first and second contacts therein to pass the 240-250 VAC on lines L1 and L2 therethrough to a 240-250 VAC ground fault interrupter protected circuit breaker outlet. A plurality of 120-125 VAC GFI module outlets are connected across either one of lines L1 and L2 at the output of the supervisory circuit and the neutral conductor N which bypasses the contactor. The supervisory circuit includes a diode bridge circuit connected across power line conductors L1 and L2 to convert a 240-250 VAC input to 240-250 VDC. A voltage threshold zener diode is connected in series with first and second relays across the 240-250 VDC, such that the zener diode ensures that the voltage required to operate the first and second relays is substantially greater than 120-125 VDC. The first relay operates contacts to activate the contactor, and the second relay operates contacts to bypass the neutral conductor N around the contactor.

Title: Process for accelerating reaction of ozone with am catalyst
Inventor: YOSHIKAWA MOTONOBU
IPC: C02F103/02
Filed: 1998-11-24
Abstract: In treatment of water by injection of ozone into the water for removal of harmful matters, odor matters, and color matters therein, either or both of a nonyl phenol and a cresol are added to the water to be treated. The nonyl phenol is added together with a lower alcohol or acetone to the water to be treated. The cresol is added together with a lower alcohol or acetone to the water to be treated. A p-nonyl phenol is added as the nonyl phenol for treatment. As the cresol for addition, a p-cresol is added. As the nonyl phenol for addition, such a nonyl phenol that two molecular weights of 220 and 107 are detected when measured by either or both of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry is used. By the above treatment, the decomposition reaction of ozone can be accelerated, and thereby it becomes possible to accelerate the oxidative decomposition reaction of organic matters, the amount of ozone required for the decomposition of harmful matters can be reduced with the decomposition time, The decomposition rate of organic matters can be accelerated by addition of a nonyl phenol or a cresol. Accordingly, when the process for accelerating the reaction of ozone is applied in water treatment, the treatment rate of water can be enhanced. The treatment volume per time of water can be enhanced, whereby the site area for water treatment facilities can be reduced even in the event that the capacity of a reaction tank is reduced.

Typically, the sealing assembly of the present invention adapted for use with, for example, a dual-chamber orifice fitting. The sealing assembly comprises a drive, a carrier, a strip, a stop and a guide. The drive is actuateable for movement. The carrier is associated with the drive and moveably actuated by the drive. The strip is engaged with the drive for moving with the drive or at a right angle to the drive. The stop is engageable with the strip such that when the strip and the stop are engaged, the strip moves at a right angle to the drive, and when the strip and the stop are not engaged, the strip moves with the drive. The guide secures the strip, the carrier and the drive for operation in any orientation. When the stop is sufficiently displaced from the drive and the strip, the opening in the seat is unobstructed. And when the stop has engaged the strip and the drive is moving toward the nearest position to the stop, the strip is approaching the seat in a parallel manner. Such that when the drive is in its nearest position to the stop, the strip is securedly engaged with the seat for securing the opening in the seat. A method for securing an opening in a fitting assembly for use with an orifice plate is also provided.

Title: Automatic neighbor identification in a cellular system
Inventor: GRANDHI SUDHEER A
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: In a cellular system, a new cell measures signal strengths of different channels being used by existing cells. The new cell generates a list of candidate channels corresponding to the channels with the greatest signal strength and transmits the list to the mobile switching center (MSC) of the cellular system. The MSC determines which of the candidate channels correspond to beacons in existing cells and transmits configuration information to the new cell for those corresponding existing cells. In this way, the new cell automatically receives configuration information on its neighbor cells. If the MSC determines that the number of candidate channels that are beacons is too small, the MSC will ask the new cell to transmit additional candidate channels (i.e., those having even lower signal strength).
