Abstract: A bistable nematic liquid crystal device cell is provided with a surface alignment grating on at least one cell wall and a surface treatment on the other wall. Such treatment may be a homeotropic alignment or a planar alignment with or without an alignment direction, and zero or a non zero pretilt. The surface profile on the monograting is asymmetric with its groove height to width selected to give approximately equal energy within the nematic material in its two allowed alignment arrangements. The monograting may be formed by a photolithographic process or by embossing of a plastics material. The cell is switched by dc pulses coupling to a flexoelectric coefficient in the material, or by use of a two frequency addressing scheme and a suitable two frequency material. Polarisers either side of the cell distinguish between the two switched states. The cell walls may be rigid or flexible, and are coated with electrode structures, e.g. in row and column format giving an x,y matrix of addressable pixels on the cell.

Abstract: A waveguide sensing element has a substrate having an input opening adapted to house an input optical fiber and an output opening adapted to house an output optical fiber. The input optical fiber transmits electromagnetic radiation, and the output optical fiber emits the electromagnetic radiation. The waveguide sensing element also has a guiding layer disposed adjacent the substrate. The guiding layer has a beveled end face. The angle of the bevel is chosen so that the guiding layer selects only those modes within a given range-i.e., high order modes. This increases the spectral absorption measurement sensitivity as compared to a waveguide sensing element which uses the complete mode spectrum. Such a highly sensitive waveguide sensing element has been found to be particularly useful as an internal reflection spectroscopic sensing element. Moreover, the waveguide sensing element of the present invention is particularly useful in a process environment, where the corrosive effects of chemicals make on-line spectral absorption measurements difficult. Thus, the waveguide sensing element of the present invention may be rear-fired, which is particularly attractive from a process seal integrity standpoint.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polyisocyanate composition which comprises: (a) a hydrophilic polyisocyanate comprising at least one base polyisocyanate selected from an aliphatic and/or an alicyclic diisocyanate, and a polyisocyanate derived therefrom, and a nonionic hydrophilic group, bonded to the polyisocyanate, containing therein 5 to 50 repeating ethylene oxide units in terms of the average number of the units, wherein the hydrophilic group is present in an amount of from 2 to 50 % by weight, based on the total weight of the base polyisocyanate and the hydrophilic group; and (b) 0.5 to 20 % by weight, based on the total weight of components (a) and (b), of a substantially water-free ionic surfactant. The polyisocyanate composition exhibits not only excellent dispersibility in water, but also exhibits high stability in the form of an aqueous dispersion thereof, since a reaction between the terminal isocyanate groups and water is suppressed. Further, a cold crosslinkable, two-pack aqueous urethane coating composition, which comprises an aqueous polyol as a main agent and the polyisocyanate composition as a curing agent, has not only excellent pot life characteristics, but also is capable of forming a coating which has excellent properties, such as excellent water resistance, so that such an aqueous coating composition can be advantageously used as various aqueous paints, adhesives, building materials and sealing materials.

Abstract: The non-linear optical mirror (NOLM) is formed in a loop of optical fibre, with its operation being independent of the polarisation of the signals offered on the signal and control inputs (wavelengths lambda-s and lambda-c respectively). The loop is composed of four sections (T1, T2, T3, T4) of fibre maintaining polarisation and of equivalent optical length. These sections are linked by three splices (E1, E2, E3) at three locations. At the first and third splices, the neutral propagation axes of the fibre are turned by 90 degrees. At the second splice a mode converter is inserted in the loop. This comprises an optical demultiplexer and multiplexer, as well as two optical channels connecting them. The demultiplexer divides the two signals (lambda-s and lambda-c) into the two channels. The channel carrying the control signal effects a 90 degree rotation. On the other channel there is no rotation. The multiplexer then recombines the two signals.

Abstract: A data and command latching circuit includes a delay-locked loop driven by a continuous reference clock signal that generates a delayed output clock signal having a delay controlled by the delay-locked loop. The latching circuit also includes a variable delay circuit external to the delay-locked loop that is driven by a discontinuous reference clock signal. Delay of the external delay circuit is controlled by a control voltage output from the delay-locked loop, so that the delays of the external delay circuit are determined with reference to the continuous reference clock signal. The delayed clock signals from the delay-locked loop activate control data latches to latch control data arriving at the latch circuit. The delayed signals from the variable voltage circuit activate data latches to latch data arriving at the latch circuit.

Abstract: An RC oscillator having an oscillation frequency which is controllable by supplying a step voltage signal to a series arrangement of a capacitor and a resistor, the oscillation frequency being dependent on the time for the capacitor to be charged to a given voltage level. In order to vary the frequency, the amplitude of the supplied step voltage is varied instead of the resistance of the resistor via which the capacitor is charged. The amplitude variation can be provided, for example, by a potentiometer which acts as a voltage divider for the step voltage. The tolerance of the potentiometer in regard to its resistance value will not be relevant, because it is only the ratio between different portions thereof which is determinative. The step voltage, and consequently the oscillation frequency, will be proportional to the setting of the potentiometer regardless of the resistance tolerance thereof.

Abstract: Particulate chromatography medium such as silica is packed into a chromatography column (2) along a feed conduit (16, 18) leading to a packing port (1) through the column wall. A motive flow of a liquid packing vehicle such as a non-polar organic solvent is established along a feed conduit by a pump (111). The medium, for example silica which is poorly compatible with low-polarity vehicles, is easily entrained in the motive flow by introducing it into the feed conduit (16, 18) via an ejector (30). This avoids subjecting the medium to the action of a mechanical pump.
