Title: Gas mixture for cryogenic applications
Inventor: LI HONG
IPC: C09K5/04
Filed: 2000-03-27
Abstract: An optimum gas mixture formulated from a group of component fluids, for use in a miniature mixed gas refrigeration system. The gas mixture has appropriate components, in appropriate concentrations, to optimize refrigeration power and heat transfer capacity, and to minimize plugging of the Joule-Thomson expansion element. The gas mixture is pressurized by a compressor to a pressure less than 750 psia, and preferably less than 420 psia, for safety reasons, and supplied to a heat exchanger. The high pressure outlet of the heat exchanger is connected to a Joule-Thomson expansion element where the high pressure gas is expanded isenthalpically to a lower temperature at least as low as 183K. This low temperature gas cools a heat transfer element mounted in the distal end of the probe, to cool an external object. Return gas flows back through the heat exchanger to pre-cool the incoming high pressure gas mixture.
Patent AU-4241889-A (AU)
Title: Optical fibre monitoring
Inventor: MYERS DAVID LISTER
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 1989-09-29
Abstract: A clip-on device for detecting whether or not an optical fibre F is carrying a light signal subjects a first portion of an optical fibre to microbending and detects any light escaping from the fibre as a result. The device comprises an anvil 2 having an undulating surface and a pulsed pressure pad 1, driven by a motor 10, for urging an optical fibre F against the undulating surface of the anvil so that a portion of the fibre is subjected to microbending of a gradually increasing extent. A second portion of the fibre is subjected to macrobending by a light guide 8 or 9, which macrobending is insufficient, by itself, to cause a substantial amount of light to escape from the fibre, but serves to concentrate the light caused to leak from the fibre by microbending of the first portion of the fibre. A control unit 13, operatively coupled to the photodetectors 6 and 7 associated with the light guides 8 and 9 and to the pressure pad 1 gives an output indication on receipt of a signal from the photodetector 6 or 7 that escaping light has been detected and, on receipt of such signal, stops the motor 10 so that the pressure pad 1 is stopped from further increasing the extent of microbending of the portion of the fibre. <IMAGE>
