Abstract: An apparatus and method for the thermal treatment of an object, such as a glass optical fiber preform. The downtime of an optical fiber drawing apparatus can be considerably shortened, by providing preforms which have pr e- optimized draw bulbs (30). Pre-optimized draw bulbs (30) are provided which are already appropriately melted off at the tip. A heating furnace (1) is us ed for such thermal pretreatment (pre-optimization) of the preforms (2) and whi ch does not contaminate the quartz glass. Utilizing preforms (2) which have pre - optimized draw bulbs advantageously increase throughput of the draw apparatu s. In accordance with one embodiment, a heating furnace (1) that meets these requirements includes a cylindrical heating chamber (3-5), heat insulation ( 6- 9) surrounding the heating chamber on all sides, several gas burners (12-13)  firing onto the tip of the rotating preform (2) through lateral heating chamber openings (10-11), and a frame (14). Since the preform (2) softens after a temperature of about T > 1750 ~C, correspondingly high temperatur es must be generated in the heating chamber (3-5). Therefore, both the heating chamber (3-5) and the gas burners (12-13) are made of quartz glass or a ceramic material.

Title: Method and system for organizing data
Inventor: GRUENWALD BJORN J
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: A system and method for organizing raw data from one or more sources uses an improved mechanism for identifying duplicate data between fields e.g., columns) in the databases. The fields may be similar fields within a single database or similar or identical field within a pair of databases and as organized as arrays or field vectors. The present invention sorts each of the field vectors and if necessary, partitions them by common value. A number of comparisons required to identify the duplicate data between the field vectors is reduced by feeding back a difference between the compared values. This difference is used to adjust indices into the field vectors for subsequent comparison.

Title: Start control device for fuel cell system
Inventor: KAI MITSURU
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2002-04-04
Abstract: At a time of starting a fuel cell when solenoids of control valves such as a check valve and a discharge valve are in a frozen state, hot air obtained by adiabatic compression at an air supply portion is divisionally supplied into a warm-up box through a warm-up valve. It is determined whether the discharge valve is opened by determining whether the discharge fuel gas pressure Pout is reduced below a predetermined pressure while the check valve is in an opened state. After confirming that the discharge valve has been opened, it is determined whether the check valve can be closed by determining whether the pressure near the fuel supply port of the fuel cell has risen above the predetermined pressure stored in the memory. The warm-up operation of the fuel cell can thereby be efficiently conducted and the fuel cell can be reliably started.

Patent CA-2386929-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RYDIN ARNE
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: L'invention traite du problème de la linéarisation des amplificateurs électroniques et plus précisément du problème du contrôle du déphasage dans ces systèmes. Selon l'invention, on mesure directement ou indirectement le déphasage de départ puis on fait tourner le système cartésien en conséquence pour ajuster à quelques degrés l'erreur de phase dans le système. Le déphasage peut être mesuré à différents endroits du système tout comme les performances de la rotation cartésienne. La rotation est indispensable pour rendre le système stable de façon inconditionnelle indépendamment du déphasage entre le principal chemin amplificateur et le chemin de référence. L'invention accomplit la stabilisation de la phase dans un amplificateur de puissance, rendant ainsi superflus les ajustements coûteux en temps et permettant également d'obtenir de grandes largeurs de bandes puisque la commande de phase est très précise.

Title: Filter apparatus for ostium of left atrial appendage
Inventor: WELCH JEFFREY

Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: Apparatus for permanent placement across an ostium of a left atrial appendage in a patient, which includes a filtering membrane configured to extend across the ostium of the left atrial appendage. The filtering membrane has a permeable structure which allows blood to flow through but substantially inhibits thrombus from passing therethrough. The apparatus also includes a support structure attached to the filtering membrane which retains the filtering membrane in position across the ostium of the left atrial appendage by permanently engaging a portion of the interior wall of the left atrial appendage. The support structure may be radially expandable from a first configuration to a second configuration which engages the ostium or the interior wall of the left atrial appendage. The filtering membrane may define an opening therethrough that is configured to expand from a first size which inhibits the passage of thrombus therethrough to a second size which allows an interventional device, e.g., an expansion balloon, to pass therethrough, and wherein the opening is resiliently biased towards the first size.
