Abstract: A device and method for correcting for timing jitter of an optical data pulse in an optical transmission system. During transmission, a data pulse may suffer jitter. Its arrival time at a node may be temporally offset from its predicted arrival time. Data pulses are timed so that they may be received at a detector disposed downstream of the node at a predetermined time. The device includes a source of chirped optical pulses and a node, which has a first input arranged to receive a chirped optical pulse. The node has a second input arranged to receive a data pulse. The node includes an optical gate arranged to generate an output pulse in response to the first pulse and the data pulse received at the first and second inputs, respectively, having a wavelength dependent upon the time at which the data pulse is received at the second input. The device further includes an optically dispersive medium after passage through which, the output pulses are correctly retimed in order to correct for the timing jitter.

Abstract: The constituents of the acid dialysis concentrate required for producing dialysis fluid are not - as is the case in the prior art - provided as a dry concentrate or as a true solution, but are provided as a suspension of undissolved substances  preferably sodium chloride and, optionally, other substances - in an aqueous solution of the remaining constituents. The suspension is introduced into a container designated as an acid cartridge, is stored, transported and is then used. A liquid concentrate is produced from the suspension at the location of dialysis by means of a device and is processed into a dialysis fluid by using existing dosing and safety systems of conventional dialysis units. The inventive system makes it possible to realize savings and advantages with regard to transport, storage and handling without lowering the common standard for patient safety which is applied to the use of conventional liquid concentrate.

Abstract: A labeling system employs a multi-processing computer control system for a servo motor which drives a label-carrying web. The system is responsive to the physical position of the labels and the physical position of containers or similar objects to which the labels are applied. The label application motion controller identifies the machine position and performs the mathematical calculations needed to create a piecewise continuous function motion profile required to achieve label contact at a predefined contact point on the surface of each container. Multiple functions may be used to construct a motion profile. which smoothly accelerates the label at a calculated acceleration needed to cause a label to arrive at the defined contact position on a container and to decelerates the carrier web after application. Correction for measured label registration error is provided for. Because the position of the label is based on the position of the container and a motion profile is calculated for each application, a fixed initial staging position of the label prior to application is not needed.

Abstract: An enhanced n+ silicon material for epitaxial substrates and a method for producing it are described. The enhanced material leads to improved gettering characteristics of n/n+ epitaxial wafers based on these substrates. The method for preparing such n+ silicon material includes applying a co-doping of carbon to the usual n dopant in the silicon melt, before growing respective CZ crystals. This improves yield of enhanced n+ silicon material in crystal growing and ultimately leads to device yield stabilization or improvement when such n/n+ epitaxial wafers are applied in device manufacturing.
