Patent EP-1268491-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CRUSE RICHARD W
IPC: C07F7/18
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: An improvement on existing methods to desulfurize oligosulfide silanes generates no added raw materials or waste streams in addition to the sodium chloride which is generated as a byproduct in the current manufacturing process for polysulfide silanes. this is accomplished by using mercaptosilane salts as desulfurizing agents, which yield more product in addition to that already obtained from the desulfurized silane of higher sulphur rank. The process simply entails reacting an oligosulfide silane with a mercaptosilane salt to thereby obtain an oligosulfide silane whose average sulphur rank is less than the starting oligosulfide silane. Coproduct sulphide salts can be recycled back to the oligosulfide manufacturing process. The mercaptosilane salts are novel materials as well.

Abstract: This melt-cast explosive shares comparable explosive properties to those of COMP B explosives and is melt-pourable and castable under conditions comparable to those of COMP B explosives, but experiences less impact, shock, and thermal sensitivity and avoids the issues of toxicity associated with COMP B. A fundamental and well-accepted component of COMP B, i.e., trinitrotoluene (TNT), is replaced with one or more mononitro-substituted or dinitro-substituted melt-cast binders, such as dinitroanisole, which can be melt cast without presenting the toxicity drawbacks experienced with the use of TNT. The melt-cast binder can also be combined with a processing aid selected from the group consisting of alkylnitroanilines and arylnitroanilines. Preferably, the composition also includes coarse oxidizer particles and energetic filler in fine particulate form.

blocks determining from the image itself, which data types
are present in each block; compressing (310-312) data of
each data type present in each block with a compression
method optimized for its data type. Scanned data may be
further segmented into plural scanned data types, where
each data type is compressed in said compressing data step
with a compression method optimized for said scanned image
data type. If the received data type is compressed data,
the process may include the additional functions of
determining a compression ratio thereof, and accepting the
compressed data for use as, or decompressing and
recompressing the data, based on acceptability of said
compression ration determination. An instruction set is
generated that allows detailed decompression instruction

Title: Method for imaging measurement, imaging measuring device and use of measured information in process control
Inventor: HAEMAELAEINEN ESA
IPC: G01J3/51
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: The invention relates to method for imaging measurement of a moving or flowing target and to an imaging measuring device for implementing the aforementioned method. Moreover, the invention relates to the use of information measured by means of imaging measurement in the control and/or adjustment of a process. According to the invention, electromagnetic radiation obtained from the moving or flowing target (T) is focused by means of imaging optics to produce an image to the screen of a two-dimensional matrix detector at least via a first and a second filter (F 1 , F 2 ) which transmit electromagnetic radiation in manners differing from each other. Said at least first and second filter form on the screen of the detector at least a first and a second filter area (FR 1 , R 2 ) that partly cover the light-sensitive area (DA) of the detector. The properties of the target (T) are determined spectroscopically by comparing and/or combining spectrally resolved information, which is recorded when a pixel which corresponds to a determined part of the target kto be measured and is focused on the screen (DA) of the matrix detector without beamsplitting travels under the effect of the movement of the target (T) via said at least first and second filter area (FR 1 , FR 2 ). The area of the screen (DA) of the detector remaining outside siad filter areas (FR 1 , FR 2 ) is used for other kind of imaging non-spectroscopic measurement and/or visualization of the target.

Abstract: In the connection of the optical fiber wires, it is required to align each axis of two
optical passages to be connected, to minimize the connection space, and to include a
retaining mechanism capable of preventing any invasion of foreign materials, such as
dust, vapor and water. A pair of ferrule holders 2 for retaining a pair of optical fiber wires
21 positioned opposed to each other through an adapter B are rotated simultaneously by
rotating an outer ring 4 to correct the displacement of the axes of the optical fiber wires.
Further, a rotating stopper portion 33 on the shaft of the ferrule holder 2 is moved in
conjunction with an elastic rotating stopper plate 13 disposed at the adapter B to retain
the corrected position. A silicone low crosslinking-density gel 41 having the refractive
index substantially equal to that of the optical fiber wires 21 is filled in a connection space
32, to minimize the connection space 32. The function of the silicone low
crosslinking-density gel 41 can cope with any variance of external environment to retain
the junction of the optical fiber wires 21 and prevent any deterioration of optical
transmittance.
