Abstract: In an optical fibre sensor for measuring electrical fields and voltages, two separate similar two-mode fibres (5a,5b) are connected in cascade in the manner of a tandem interferometer, instead of one continuous two-mode fibre between sensor head (15) and evaluation unit (14). The first two-mode fibre (5a) used as sensor fibre is operated in reflection geometry. It is arranged together with the sensor element (6) in the sensor head (15). The second two-mode fibre (5b) used as reference fibre is located inside the separate evaluating unit (14). In the latter, at least one fibre coupler or beam divider is also provided which is required by operating the sensor fibre in reflection geometry. Sensor head (15) and evaluating unit (14) are connected by a single insensitive monomode fibre. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Titanium is induction melted to produce a molten mass thereof and a water-cooled crucible (10) have a nonoxidizing atmosphere and a bottom opening (22). The current to the coil (30) used for induction melting is adjusted to produce a levitation effect on the molten mass (34) in the crucible (10) to prevent the molten mass (34) from flowing out of the bottom opening (22). The molten mass (34) is also maintained out-of-contact with the crucible (10) by providing a solidified layer (36) of titanium between the molten mass (34) and the crucible (10). After production of the molten mass (34) of titanium, the current to the induction coil (30) is reduced to reduce the levitation effect and allow the molten mass (34) to flow out of the bottom opening (22) of the crucible (10) as a free-falling stream (38) of molten titanium. The free-falling stream (38) from the crucible is directed to a tundish (48) from which the molten mass flows through a nozzle (54) for atomization. The spherical particles (42) produced by atomization are cooled to solidify them and are then collected.

Abstract: Document form templates are grouped into groups of related form templates. The number of times a particular template is used by the system is counted for each group during a forms processing interval. Then when processing submitted forms, the method scans in a plurality of them in an aggregated submission. Forms recognition processing starts for a first form. The method begins searching for a form template to match the first form, starting with the most frequent group. If recognition of the first form is successful with the most frequent primary form template, then the method searches the group for the remaining submitted forms. If recognition of the first form is not successful with the most frequent group, then the method tries to match the first form with a template in the second most frequently processed primary group. In this manner, forms recognition of preprinted forms is managed, with the order of searching the template archive changed in response to the frequency with which particular form types are processed.

Abstract: A device for detecting deterioration of a NO x  absorbent arranged in the exhaust passage of an engine. An O 2  sensor generating a current proportional to the air-fuel ratio is arranged in the exhaust passage downstream of the NO x  absorbent. When the amount of NO x  absorbed in the NO x  absorbent is almost zero or after the amount of NO x  absorbed in the NO x  absorbent is made almost zero, the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture is changed from lean to rich, and the amount of oxygen stored in the NO x  absorbent is detected from the output signal of the O 2  sensor at this time. Further, the NO x  absorbing capability is found by using this detected oxygen amount.

Abstract: A cowl (30) has a first generally disc-shaped member (31) which extends across the opening of a chimney or flue in use and a second disc-shaped member (33) open at its centre and dished to form a shallow cone. The two discs are connected such that the vertical separation between the first and second discs is least at the central opening of the second disc and increases radially outwards. The space between the first and second members provides a venturi effect, airflow caused by wind from any quarter resulting in relatively reduced air pressure in the space above the centre opening in the second member encouraging smoke or flue gases to pass up the chimney or flue to be entrained in air passing across the centre opening between the two members. Provision (39) is made for firmly mounting the cowl to the distal end of the chimney. Because the vertical spacing between the first disc and the distal end of the chimney or flue is substantially less than the diameter of the first disc, the cowl has a generally squat appearance.
