Title: Optical fiber connector and method for using same
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 1986-10-10
Granted: 1993-04-28
Abstract: In a plug-type optical fiber connector low loss can be achieved, without any active alignment of the fiber cores, if the two cylindrical plugs (12, 12') used in the connector are "contiguous" plugs, i.e., derived from contiguous segments of the tubular stock (40) from which the plugs are produced, and if the plugs are arranged such that the "contiguous" ends of the plugs (12, 12') are the mating ends, and such that the rotational relationship between the plugs (12, 12') is substantially the one that existed prior to sectioning. The inventive connector comprises two contiguous plugs (12, 12') and includes features that permit identification of the contiguous ends and of the rotational relationship. In a preferred embodiment, the tubular stock (40) is drawn glass stock, the two contiguous segments (B, B) are left joined but scored circumferentially to permit easy separation in the field, with a longitudinal groove (15) in the outer cylinder surface of the contiguous segments (B, B) identifying the original rotational relationship. The plugs (12, 12') are to be inserted into an alignment sleeve, or into, e.g., three-rod alignment means (30). Disclosed is also a novel corrugated tube alignment sleeve that has general applicability in plug and sleeve-type connectors.

Granted: 1990-08-08
Abstract: In an ink writing instrument, the ink storage space is divided into individual chambers that are inside the housing and are arranged axially one behind one another. The chambers are connected with the writing point by an ink guide. The ink-filled chambers are emptied one after the other by capillaries in the ink guide, air entering the chambers by a ventilation duct in the mouthpiece and the capillary ventilation openings. When ink is removed, no enclosed air volume is formed inside the storage space. In a second embodiment, the chambers are emptied simultaneously, the ventilation duct being opposite the writing point.

Abstract: For checking the proper insertion position of the drawers of mechanical cabinets, a security device is proposed which consists of the covering (7) and can be moved along with the insertion and withdrawal movement of the drawers. By this means, with the drawer partially withdrawn and not locked, the covering passes into the rays of a light barrier, with the result that even low withdrawn drawers can block the circulation operation. By this means, a simple security device results which is effective with different drawer arrangements.   <IMAGE>

Title: Method and device for the reduction of noise generated by a digital picture coder/decoder which operates in blocks
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1987-10-28
Granted: 1991-08-28
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR87/00425 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 25, 1988 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 25, 1988 PCT Filed Oct. 28, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO88/03346 PCT Pub. Date May 5, 1988.Disclosed is a method for the reduction of the noise generated during the encoding/decoding of digitized images operating by blocks. To reduce the faults visible in the restored image, the method consists in filtering the image by using a filtering window, for example with dimensions of 3x3 pixels, which scans the image, the current point being the central point of this window, and in determining, for each point, the mean of the values associated wih the points of this window, and in determining for the current point, from this mean and from a characteristic value of the operating status of the encoder, a filtering parameter which can be used to determine the filtered value associated with the current point. The invention can be applied to the resutitution of block encoded images especially in digitalized video tape-recorders.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling movement of a vehicle through a network is disclosed. The network has a plurality of stations interconnected by a plurality of path segments. A plurality of branch points connect the path segments and require a vehicle approaching a branch point to be directed in either a first or second direction. Line-defining parameters are provided for each of the branch points and define a network-dividing line which divides the plurality of stations into a first set which are attainable by a vehicle being directed in a first direction and a second set attainable by a vehicle being directed in a second direction. Coordinates of a destination station are associated with a vehicle. As the vehicle approaches a branch point, the coordinates of the destination station are compared to the line-defining parameters of the approaching branch point and the destination station is determined to be in either the first set or the second set. The vehicle is directed in a first direction if the destination station is determined to be in the first set and in a second direction if the station is determined to be in a second set.

Title: Four- or six-rolling mill with laterally supported workrolls
IPC: B21B13/14
Filed: 1990-07-28
Granted: 1992-12-23
Abstract: In a multi-roll stand having laterally supported working rolls 4, each working roll 4 is supported at at least one side against a radially unmounted lateral intermediate roll 5, which, for its part, is supported against a first, radially mounted supporting roller 6 and a further, radially unmounted intermediate roll 7. The further intermediate roll 7 is supported against a second, radially supported supporting roller 8 and against that intermediate roll 3 of a six-high roll stand which supports the working roll 4 vertically or against the supporting roll of a four-high roll stand. By virtue of this type of lateral support, the risk of slip between the working roll 4 and the lateral intermediate roll 5 supporting it is reduced because a torque is transmitted to the intermediate roll 5 from the intermediate roll 3 or supporting roll of the roll stand via the further lateral intermediate roll 7. In addition, the space for the lateral support can be better utilized for an increase in the supporting forces.
