Title: 誘導ブリリュアン散乱を抑圧するダイオード・レーザ送信機におけるサーマル・ダウン・ミキシング
IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 1996-12-06
Abstract: (57)【要約】
光ファイバ・ケーブルを介して、アナログ信号の伝送を行う方法と装置が開示されている。半導体レーザが光搬送波信号を提供し、そのレーザは、ＳＢＳ線幅と同じオーダの高出力の自然線幅を有している。当該方法は、第１の成分ｆ c および第２の成分ｆ s からなるディザ信号で、レーザ電流を直接、変調する工程を備える。そのレーザの「Ｉ−Ｖ」特性の非線形性のため、活性領域に、熱変調成分ｆ T が現われる。この熱変調成分が、半導体レーザのスペクトルを整形して、ＳＢＳの閾値を上げる。その結果、光ケーブルを介して伝送される信号のエネルギは、約１６ｄＢ増加する。第１の周波数は、アナログ信号の最大周波数の少なくとも２倍で、第２の周波数は、ｆ c −ｆ s ＝ｆ T を得るよう選択される。

Filed: 1998-03-16
Abstract: A dry powder inhaler has a lid pivotally attached to an inhaler housing. A medicine containing cartridge is attached to the top of the housing and includes a cartridge ring with apertures for holding dry powdered medicine. A slide-groove assembly located on the underside of the lid advances the cartridge ring to a next aperture when a user first opens, then closes the lid. A venturi air passageway assembly is contained within the housing of the dry powdered inhaler. The venturi air passageway assembly includes a tapered inlet section, a throat section, and a tapered outlet section. A pressure switch is advantageously located within the housing for actuating the mixing process within the mixing chamber. During inhalation, the pressure switch contained within the housing actuates the motor driven impeller within the mixing chamber of the inhaler when the pressure within the venturi air passageway reaches a predetermined level. The pressure at which the pressure switch closes corresponds to a specifically calibrated inhalation flow rate.

Y is oxygen, =N-Nalk1 or =NOalk2, where alk1 and alk2 are alkyl optionally interrupted by oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atoms and optionally substituted with halogen, aryl optionally substituted with halogen, heterocyclic or a group of formula (II). Z is hydrogen, halogen, or a free, etherified or esterified OH radical. R is hydrogen or alkyl R1 is hydrogen, a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl radical optionally substituted by halogen, -CºN or aryl. R2 is hydrogen or halogen. R3 is hydrogen, halogen or alkyl R5 is hydrogen or alkoxy. R6 is ethenyl, propenyl, alkyl or -CH2-O-alkyl and R7 is hydrogen or alkyl; or R6 and R7 together with the carbon to which they are attached form a ring. Also described is a medicament comprising the compound of formula (I) and a pharmaceutical composition thereof comprising this medicament. Also described is a compound of formula (IV), where: Z, R2, R3, and R5-R7 are as defined for the compound of formula (I). OW is a blocked hydroxy group. W' is alkyl or alkoxy.
Patent NZ-508216-A (NZ)
Title: Overload clutch with shear element such that re-installation of shear element accomplished without rotation of input or output shafts
Inventor: VIAUD JEAN
IPC: F16D9/06
Filed: 2000-11-16
Abstract: Clutch elements 46, 46' are held in contact by spring 16. Shear pin 42 passes through holes 36, 36'. On overload, pin 42 shears, allowing rotation of second clutch element 40 relative to first clutch element 38. (If necessary the load of spring 16 may be removed). This is stated to avoid having to rotate either input or output shafts for insertion of a replacement shear pin.
Patent NZ-510017-A (NZ)
Title: Methods and apparatus employing multi-spectral imaging for the remote identification and sorting of objects
Inventor: LAWANDY NABIL M
IPC: B07C5/00
Filed: 1999-08-24
Abstract: A multi-spectral imager and the applications of same for the marking and coding of, for example, textiles, linens, garments, documents and packages for high-speed machine identification and sortation. Specific uses include garment and textile rental operations, laundry operations, and the postal and mail sortation of documents and packages. Methods and apparatus are provided to identify items via information encoded within an applied mark, as well as a novel mark reading/decoding scheme. A method is disclosed for printing fluorescent marks (3) on an item, such as a heat-sealable label (1), to generate a unique identification number or indicia, as well as a reader system (10) for reading applied marks (3). The reader system (10) includes an illumination source (12) that excites the fluorescent marks (3) in combination with a colour sensitive device, such as a camera (14), which is "blind" to the illumination wavelength (36) but which can discern the fluorescence colour and a relative spatial order of the fluorescent marks (3), wherein the information is encoded.
