Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the detection of hydrocarbons, especially oil, in water-conveying pipework systems by determining the transmission behaviour of a light ray. According to the invention, a tubular measuring device is introduced into an existing pipeline system. Said measuring device comprises an internally metallised tubular part with a transparent window at its first end. Mounted on said window is a light emitter, an optical device and a photodetector. Furthermore, the photodetector is connected to an evaluation unit. In addition to the sealed tubular part, the tubular measuring device comprises, at the second end, a tubular part which is internally lined with retroreflecting foil. The light ray emitted by the light emitter enters the water-conveying tube at an angle determined by the arrangement of the light emitter and is repeatedly reflected by the metallised tubular part until it reaches the tubular part lined with retroreflective foil. The light ray is reflected back in the direction of incidence by the retroreflective foil. The returning light ray finally reaches the entry window again, is focused by an optical arrangement, in the simplest case a convergent lens, and is directed onto the photodetector. During its transmission, the intensity of the light ray drops as a result of absorption. If the water contains dissolved hydrocarbons, the component of the light intensity lost by absorption increases. This loss is detected by the evaluation unit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a linear image sensor, a charge transfer part is disposed between a one-dimensional array of photodetectors and an overflow drain and comprises a CCD including four or more transfer gates for each photodetector and transferring signal charges from the photodetector in a direction of the photodetector array, transfer gates controlling charge transfer from the photodetectors to the CCD, and shutter gate controlling charge transfer from the charge transfer part to the overflow drain. Each transfer gate is disposed between each photodetector and a prescribed one of the four or more CCD transfer gates, and each shutter gate is disposed between the prescribed CCD transfer gate and the overflow drain. The four or more CCD transfer gates are controlled by four or more phase driving clocks. Therefore, during the charge transfer operation, there is a state where at least adjacent three CCD transfer gates are all closed, so that signal charges are drained from the photodetector into the overflow drain through the CCD transfer gate in the middle of the three CCD transfer gates without mixing the drained signal charges with the signal charges transferred by the CCD. That is, the charge drain operation is carried out during the charge transfer operation in the charge transfer part, whereby a timing for opening the shutter gate can be set at an arbitrary time in the charge read cycle.

Abstract: Two optical fiber segments are spliced in an end-to-end fashion by first axially aligning the optical fiber segments, and then fusing the optical fiber segments with a converging conical light beam convergently focused to an apex region along the optical fiber. The converging conical beam heats the optical fiber segments and the splice in a circumferentially uniform manner. The apex region at which the converging conical beam is focused can be moved progressively along the length of the optical fiber to effect the fusion, and also to directionally fire polish and stress relieve the optical fiber to minimize the presence of flaws in the optical fiber after fusion is complete. The converging conical light beam is achieved by creating a diverging conical beam using movable mirrors to deflect a collimated beam into a diverging conical beam. The diverging conical beam is reflected from a parabolic mirror to form the converging conical beam that is focused toward the optical fiber. Longitudinal movement of the apex region along the optical fiber is achieved by altering the amplitude of the movement of the mirrors to change the apex angle of the diverging conical light beam.

Abstract: The sector mark SM within a long burn data pattern recorded in each sector of an optical disk is detected asynchronously using a robust pattern detection algorithm. The terminal portion of the data pattern at the VFO field of the ANSI X3B11/ISO CCS Standard is ignored. The corner bits at the ends of the remaining pattern and between strings of one and zero bits are ignored, and the pattern that remains is stored in a register. A decoder compares adjacent strings of one and zero bits stored in the register to corresponding predetermined data. Voting circuitry uses a threshold value programmed by the user to determine the presence of a sector mark in the data pattern.

Abstract: An overcurrent detector circuit for a circuit-breaker includes two systems for overcurrent detection. In the first system, the level of the current detected by the current detectors 41 is converted to a digital signal by the A/D converter 91 at each 500 microseconds. The maximum value detector 92 selects the maximum value among these digital signals over each period of 12.5 milliseconds. When the maximum value is greater than a pick-up level, the square thereof is accumulated in the counter 95. In the second system, the calculation circuit 96 squares the digital signals of the A/D converter 91, and switches its outputs in order to the counters 97-1 through 97-5 at a period of 25 milliseconds. Thus, the four counters other than that currently coupled to the calculation circuit 96 hold together the squares of the digital signals accumulated over 100 milliseconds. When this value held jointly by the four counters exceeds a predetermined pick-up level, a value corresponding to the sum is calculated and accumulated in the counter 100. When the output of the counter 95 or 100 exceeds a threshold level, a trip judgment circuit 101 outputs a tripping signal to the switching device 70 to activate the tripping device 71.
