Abstract: An optical fibre connector comprising a hollow cylindrical body 2 having a throughbore 3 with an inner surface 4. A hollow sleeve or carrier 6 in the form of a cylindrical tube having a throughbore 8 fits snugly within the hollow body throughbore 3. The sleeve 6 can receive and releasably retain a pair of optical fibre assemblies 11 which are to be optically coupled to one another by means of the connector. The sleeve 6 accommodates a plurality of discrete individual engagement means in the form of balls 10 in holes around its circumference. The balls 10 protrude through the holes in the sleeve into the throughbore 3, and are free to rotate as an optical fibre assembly moves past them. The optical fibre assemblies 11 are biassed against the balls 10 and thereby against the inner surface of the connector body by resilient biassing means in the form of spring arrangements 14. Each spring arrangement 14 comprises an elongate resilient strip 15 pivoted about its midpoint on a pivot 20. In this arrangement, as an optical fibre assembly 10 is inserted into the carrier 6, the pivoting action of the spring prevents the biassing force being applied by the spring on the assembly until a first 21 and second 22 end of the assembly are in contact with a distal 23 and proximal 24 end respectively of the spring arrangement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The apparatus is a gas filled ultraviolet generating lamp (10) for use as a liquid purifier. The lamp (10) is powered by high voltage AC, but has no metallic electrode within or in contact with the gas enclosure which is constructed as two concentric quartz cylinders (16, 20) sealed together at their ends, with the gas fill between the cylinders. Cooling liquid is pumped through the volume (14) inside the inner quartz cylinder (16), where an electrically conductive pipe (12) spaced from the inner cylinder (16) is used to supply the cooling liquid and act as the high voltage electrode. The gas enclosure (18) is enclosed within but spaced from a metal housing (28) which is connected to operate as the ground electrode of the circuit and through which the treated fluid flows. Thus, the electrical circuit is from the central pipe (12), and through the cooling liquid, the gas enclosure (18), the treated liquid on the outside of the outer quartz cylinder (20), and to the housing (28). The high voltage electrode (12) is electrically isolated from the source of cooling liquid by a length of insulated hose which also supplies the cooling liquid.

Abstract: A water-in-oil type emulsion fuel oil is prepared by dispersing and emulsifying in heavy oil a water/carbon mixture prepared by dispersing carbon fine particles in water with a dispersant and a protective colloid. The emulsion fuel oil includes 100 vol% of heavy oil and 20 to 45 vol% of the water/carbon mixture. Water particles are uniformly dispersed and emulsified in the heavy oil in the form of particles having diameters exceeding 20  mu  m but not exceeding 35  mu  m, and when the amount of the water/carbon mixture to be mixed with 100 vol% of the heavy oil is 20 to 35 vol%, the dispersed water particles have diameters ranging from 25 to 35  mu  m, while when the amount is 35 to 45 vol%, they have diameters of from more than 20  mu  m to 25  mu  m. Because, in this emulsified fuel oil, flame temperature does not change in comparison with the heavy oil combustion to which water is not add, this emulsified fuel oil is extremely advantageous in view of a heat balance. Since oil to be combusted is decreased, CO2 to be exhausted is decreased, thereby it is effective in inhibiting global warming.

Abstract: A method of separating enantiomeric lactam esters. The lactam esters are contacted with a biocatalyst, such as an enzyme or a microorganism, in a solution wherein only one enantiomer is selectively hydrolyzed to give the optically active isomer of the corresponding acid. The hydrolysis product is then separated from the unreacted lactam esters. The enzyme is then recycled for reuse in the next enzymatic resolution. The undesired isomer is also racemized and reused in the next enzymatic resolution.

Abstract: The invention disclosed hereunder is a process and a device for the preparation and formation of a plastic weld connection between a workpiece (13) and a second component to be attached thereto by heating by means of a heating device (12). If force is applied, the heating element (12) tends to deform the contact surface especially in the case of hollow, thin-walled workpieces such as plastic containers. So far, methods were disclosed for the measuring of the degree of deformation by means of a sensor, subsequently readjusting the position of the heating device according to the determined deformation. The invention disclosed here under dispenses with any measurement of deformation, instead using an elastic element which automatically readjusts the position of the heating element (12) in the case of deformation of the workpiece (13) to effect a pre-load between the heating device (12) positioned at the contact surface of the work-piece (13) and the workpiece (13).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptively correcting D.C. offset errors imposed upon signals in a communication device. The present invention includes a feedback loop correction circuit and method for measuring and reducing D.C. offset errors imposed upon analog transmission signals by transmit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and associated analog reconstruction filters. A digital feedback loop is used to remove the D.C. offset errors from the analog transmission signals prior to transmission. In the preferred embodiment, the digital feedback loop includes a pair of analog-to-digital converters, a digital D.C. offset correction circuit, and a pair of adders. The transmission signals are digitized, filtered, and digitally processed by the correction circuit to generate offset correction signals that are equal to the undesired D.C. offset error present in the transmission signals. The correction signals are added to the digital input baseband signals thereby removing the undesirable D.C. offset errors from the transmission signals. In one preferred embodiment, the analog-to-digital converters comprise differential comparators that generate digital signals representative of the signs of the analog transmission signals. The digital D.C. offset correction circuit processes the digital signals output by the differential comparators using a selected digital signal processing technique. In one embodiment, the offset correction circuit uses a "sign bit" digital signal processing technique whereby the sign bits generated by the differential comparators are continuously integrated. The preferred embodiment of the present invention uses an MSB technique whereby sign characteristics of both the digital baseband signals and associated transmission signals are analyzed to produce the feedback correction signals. In accordance with this technique, integrators are disposed to measure zero crossing time delays between the baseband signals and the filtered signals. The zero crossing time delays are measured by analyzing the relative signs of the baseband signals and the filtered signals. The zero crossing time delays are used in the preferred embodiment as an estimate of the D.C. offset errors present in the transmission signals.

Abstract: Removal of nitrous oxides in an air separation plant involves treatment of liquid, from the high-pressure column, in which it is concentrated. It is important to remove nitrous oxide, which has a comparatively high melting point, from the circuit before solid particles block the heat exchangers. This is done by occasionally purging the sump of high pressure column (6) at (16) and passing the liquid, which will contain all of the nitrous oxide, into a cleaning vessel (17) in which the nitrous oxide is removed by physical adsorption. Alternatively the purge liquid is warmed in a heat exchanger to a point where the nitrous oxide can be separated as a solid or liquid fraction. A counterflow material exchange method could also be used. The cleaned fluid then rejoins the process via line (18). The main flow of the oxygen enriched portion is removed at (13), at least one theoretical, or practical, floor (material exchange section (15)) above the air inlet (5), to continue the process in a conventional manner in the low-pressure column (7). Krypton and Xenon, also present in the sump liquid, can be concentrated and separated from the nitrous-oxide-free liquid leaving vessel (17). Methods for recovering cooling energy, involving further compression and conventional expansion through a turbine, are described.
