Granted: 1990-03-01
Abstract: A helically grooved flexible optical cable core comprising a plurality of helically laid flexible bodies 1 of sector-shaped cross-section is manufactured by drawing a multiplicity of flexible non-metallic reinforcing elements 2 under tension through electrically insulating plastics material 3 in a semi-liquid state; causing the plastics encapsulated reinforcing elements to pass through an elongate die 23 having an outlet orifice 25 of sector-shape, which die, between its ends, is of such a shape that reinforcing elements adjacent the arcuate surface 4 of the body are travelling at a greater linear speed than reinforcing elements remote therefrom, and which has a blade 26 protruding inwardly of the die and forming in the arcuate surface of the body a longitudinally extending groove 5; causing the body as it emerges from the die to follow a helical path with its grooved arcuate surface outermost and so cooling the helically advancing body that the plastics material sets; partially filling the groove in the arcuate surface with a grease and continuously feeding an optical fibre into the grease in the groove; laying up the helically advancing body with a plurality of helically advancing bodies of similar cross-section and construction to form a flexible core of circular cross-section which is rotating about its longitudinal axis; and taking up the rotating core in such a way that any residual torsion in the core arising from said rotation is removed.

Title: Fluorine doped optical waveguide
Inventor: BERKEY GEORGE EDWARD
IPC: C03B37/018
Filed: 1984-09-19
Granted: 1987-10-15
Abstract: This invention relates to a method forming fluorine-doped glass. A coating of glass particles is deposited on the surface of a cylindrical rod of high purity glass. The coated rod is inserted into a furnace which contains a cylindrical muffle formed of high silica content glass. A fluorine-containing atmosphere is flowed through the muffle and over the outer surface of the coating of glass particles and also flows inwardly through the interstices thereof. The temperature within the furnace is sufficiently high to cause fluorine to diffuse into the surfaces of the glass particles and to cause the particles to fuse and form a fluorine-containing dense glass coating on the surface of the rod.

Abstract: Described are moulded bodies, in particular pellets, containing one or more plant extracts and made from a dispersion of one or more plant extracts in a matrix consisting mainly of a structure-forming agent, i.e. collagen, gelatin, fractionated gelatin, a collagen hydrolysate, a gelatin derivative, a plant protein or a plant-protein hydrolysate. Such pellets have a long storage life and their pharmacological and cosmetic properties are essentially the same as those of the natural extract. They are prepared by a simple method in which one or more liquid plant extracts are mixed or emulsified, or solid extracts dissolved or suspended, in a solution of the structure-forming agent, the dispersion of structure-forming agent and plant extract(s) is added dropwise to an inert low-temperature liquified gas, preferably liquid nitrogen, thus forming the pellets, and the pellets thus formed are dried. The preferred plant extract is Aloe vera juice.

Inventor: GAUDREAULT YVON
IPC: A61F7/08
Filed: 1993-10-14
Granted: 1996-08-15
Abstract: A flexible heat pad for heat transfer to a person's limb. The pad consists of a fabric (preferably cotton) envelope enclosing a load of cereal grains, preferably oats. Preferably, the water content of the oat is precisely monitored to remain within the 9 to 14% range by weight of the oat total weight. The quantity of oat grains inside the cotton envelope must be such as to provide even oat distribution within the cotton envelope enclosure, after deformation, whereby localized grainless pockets within the pad enclosure are substantially prevented. The pad is pre-heated for about two minutes inside a micro-wave oven, at full power setting, before use. Thermal inertia of the oat thereafter allows continuous heat diffusion to the limb for about half an hour. The pad may alternately be put into the freezer from at least four to six hours, to thereafter diffuse cold to the swollen limb part of a mammal.
