Abstract: A reflective element (26), such as a Bragg grating, impressed in an optical fiber (24), has a reflection wavelength which is tuned by compressing the grating (26). Because an optical fiber is much stronger under compression than in tension, the grating (26) is tunable over a much broader range than conventional tension/stretching techniques.

Abstract: The casing inner space can be filled with earth, so that compensated earth pressure conditions are obtained. Chimney type tubes are applied to the casing, so that an effective ventilating and venting system is formed and no rain or other water can reach the casing inner space. An adequately large amt. of earth, which can consist of a multiple of the organic material to be decomposed, can be filled into the casing inner space. The dimensions of the casing are variable and can therefore be made to match the grave space.

Abstract: A method of applying a metallic bonding layer for thermally sprayed ceramic heat insulating layers (6) on metallic components involves (a) applying a binder onto the degreased and oxide-free metallic surface of the substrate material (2); (b) applying metallic bonding powder (4) uniformly onto the binder; (c) applying solder powder (5), of smaller particle size than the bonding powder (4), uniformly onto the binder; and (d) drying the binder and heat treating to effect soldering. In an alternative method, an oxidation and corrosion resistant layer is produced on the cleaned metallic surface by gas-shielded plasma spraying prior to step (a), the bonding powder is a coarse powder having the same composition as this oxidation and corrosion resistant layer, step (c) is omitted and step (d) comprises drying the binder and then heat treating (solution annealing) to form a sintered bond between the metallic component and the oxidation and corrosion resistant layer and between the oxidation and corrosion resistant layer and the bonding powder. Also claimed are metallic bonding layers produced by the above methods.

Abstract: A shaping jig (2) is placed in a shaping vessel (1). A raw material for crystals is inserted into the shaping vessel (1), and then heated with the interior of the vessel set to a predetermined atmosphere, to turn the material into a crystalline melt. A mechanical force (F1) is applied from the upper side to the crystalline melt (5), which is positioned on the upper side of the shaping jig (2), by a pressure member (4). Since the crystalline melt does not have an escape except a hollow (3) formed by the shaping jig (2), it is injected thereinto as shown by an arrow. This method of manufacturing shaped crystals is suitably used to manufacture single crystal or polycrystals of a semiconductor, such as silicon, germanium, bismuth and tellurium.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for the vertical arrangement of a pole or post-like object (4) on a securing device (6) disposed at the ground end. The device comprises a substantially cylindrical, elongate mounting mandrel (10) which can be inserted into an accommodating bore (12) in the underside of the pole or post-like object (4). The device further comprises a support plate (16) from whose plane the mounting mandrel (10) extends upwards and on which the underside (14) of the pole or post-like object (4) rests. At least one securing projection (18) protrudes upwards from the support plate (16) and penetrates the material of the pole or post-like object (4). The mounting mandrel (10) is substantially thinner than the accommodating bore (12) in the underside of the pole or post-like object (4) such that there is considerable play between the journal or mounting mandrel (10) and the bore (12) surrounding the mandrel in the underside of the pole or post. Owing to this play, the pole or post (4) can be mounted on the mounting mandrel (10) such that the pole or post is tilted or inclined within a given angular range. This inclined or tilted position permits compensation of any positions of the securing device (6) disposed at the ground end which are lopsided relative to the vertical.

Abstract: The improved vehicle navigation system uses a multiple, orthogonal axes accelerometer, such as two or three accelerometers which are mounted orthogonal to one another. The two axes whose acceleration are to be measured are the longitudinal (nose to rear bumper) axis and lateral (left to right side) axis. The tangential or longitudinal axis acceleration is integrated once to obtain longitudinal speed and is integrated again to produce a vehicle displacement. The lateral accelerometer measures the centripetal force that the vehicle is encountering which is used to compute a centripetal or lateral acceleration. The lateral acceleration is used to obtain a heading change derived from the lateral acceleration information and the longitudinal speed. Using the heading change and the longitudinal acceleration, the improved vehicle navigation system propagates a previous position to a current position. This is accomplished without the need for connection to the vehicle speed sensor and the heading sensor. If a third axis acceleration measurement sensor is used, the improved vehicle navigation system can operate completely independent of vehicle sensors, further increasing flexibility in mounting. The third accelerometer provides pitch to assist in calibrating the other accelerometers or other sensors and in altering the longitudinal and/or lateral acceleration information by, for example, detecting a banked turn.

Abstract: The present invention provides labeled nucleic acid amplification oligonucleotides, which can be linear or hairpin primers or blocking oligonucleotides. The oligonucleotides of the invention are labeled with donor and/or acceptor moieties of molecular energy transfer pairs. The moieties can be fluorophores, such that fluorescent energy emitted by the donor is absorbed by the acceptor. The acceptor may be a fluorophore that fluoresces at a wavelength different from the donor moiety, or it may be a quencher. The oligonucleotides of the invention are configured so that a donor moiety and an acceptor moiety are incorporated into the amplification product. The invention also provides methods and kits for directly detecting amplification products employing the nucleic acid amplification primers. When labeled linear primers are used, treatment with exonuclease or by using specific temperature eliminates the need for separation of unincorporated primers. This "closed-tube" format greatly reduces the possibility of carryover contamination with amplification products, provides for high throughput of samples, and may be totally automated.
