Abstract: The present applicant has discovered that one can make a surface emitting laser with enhanced operating characteristics by etching away the outer reflector stack (22) peripheral to the intended active area (20) and protecting the reflector stack mesa remaining over the active area by  in   situ  metallization (25,25A) in high vacuum. The active area can be isolated, as by ion implantation, providing an electrical path through the active region which does not pass completely through the outer reflector stack. The result is a surface emitting laser having reduced series resistance. The device lases at lower voltage and provides an enhanced intensity of optical output as compared with conventional planar devices.

Abstract: Two thin sheets (10, 11) of material have slits to define coplanar flaps (12AA-12GG and 12A-12G) that are configured and arranged in conformity with segments of a segmental display such as a seven-segment digital display. The layers are superimposed such that corresponding segments are superimposed. The layers have contrasting colors. Applying a force against a typical overlying flap (12AA) in a segment causes the overlying (12AA) and underlying (12A) flaps to deflect in the same direction for the outer edges (22, 23) of the flaps to pass each other. When the force is removed the flaps restore to positions that are substantially coplanar with the layers in which they are formed. When the flap (12AA) in the overlying layer is coplanar with its layer that flap and, hence, the segment (A) is not visible because there is no contrast between the flap and the layer being viewed. When the flap (12A) of the underlying layer is caused to switch over the flap (12AA) in the overlying layer there is contrast between the flap and the overlying layer so the segment represented by the flap is visible.

Abstract: In the method for manufacturing a mat-like product containing mineral fibres and a binding agent, the binding agent is mixed with the fibres before the formation of the product. The material used as the binding agent is thermo- plastic particles, such as fibres, a powder, or particles in a dispersion, which are supplied in connection with the manufacture of fibres to the fibres forming of melted material supplied in the air. The fibres and the binding agent are carried by a turbulent air flow, in which the heat contained in the solid material and the fibres forming thereof is used for melting or softening thermoplastic particles into a state, in which they effect the binding of fibres to each other. The invention relates also to the use of products manufactured by the method and containing mineral fibres and a solidified thermo-plastic binding agent for the manufacture of compression-moulded mineral fibre products.

Abstract: A weft thread (1) running off from a fixed storage bobbin (2) is guided, by a compressed-air nozzle (6) and a deflecting element (16), movable transversely to the weft-insertion direction (arrow 9), to the weft-insertion device (11) of a projectile weaving machine. After each weft insertion, the weft thread (1) is deflected by the deflecting element (16) out of an extended thread path (1a) into an angled thread path (1c) and, during a subsequent weft insertion, is returned towards the extended thread path (1a). During a predetermined fraction of the weaving cycle which comprises the return of the weft thread (1) into the extended thread path (1a), the compressed-air nozzle (6) is loaded by compressed air, so that the weft thread (1) is additionally accelerated for a short time. After the return of the weft thread (1), the supply of compressed air to the compressed-air nozzle (6) is stopped for the remaining part of the weaving cycle. As a result, with a minimum requirement of compressed air and by means of a simple nozzle arrangement, a careful guidance of the weft thread is guaranteed and a "stretch beat" is prevented from occurring when the weft thread is being stretched out. The method is especially suitable for the processing of sensitive yarn material in weaving machines with a high weft-insertion capacity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of transplanting a graft in the subretinal area of a host eye comprises preparing the graft by harvesting from the donor tissue a population of cells in a manner that maintains the population of cells in the same organization and cellular polarity as is present in normal tissue of that type. The population of cells are of a sheet-like form and are assembled with a relatively thin flexible pliable carrier composed of a non-toxic flexible composition which substantially dissolves at body temperature to form a graft. The graft is sufficiently flexible and pliable to be coiled to form a volute (76) without disturbing the organization and polarity of the cells. The method further comprises coiling the graft to form a volute (76) with the convolutions of the volute (76) free of one another for subsequent uncoiling of the graft substantially to its original sheet-like form. An incision is made in the host eye for insertion of the volute (76). The incision in the eye is smaller than the incision that would be required for insertion of the graft in its uncoiled sheet-like form. The volute is inserted one end first into the host eye through the incision and transported to a position between the retina and the underlying tissue. The volute (76) uncoils after its insertion to lie in sheet-like form between the retina and the underlying tissue of the host eye. The incision is then closed.

Abstract: Un odomètre différentiel comporte un capteur (503) couplé à une roue gauche (103), et un capteur (513) couplé à une roue droite (105). Le capteur de roue gauche (503) assure un comptage d'impulsions (505) à mesure que la roue gauche (103) tourne. La distance parcourue par la roue gauche est déterminée par le produit du comptage d'impulsions de ladite roue et d'une distance à gauche par coefficient d'impulsion. Le capteur de roue droite (513) assure un comptage d'impulsions (515) à mesure que la roue distale tourne. La distance parcourue par la roue droite est déterminée par le produit du comptage d'impulsions de ladite roue et d'une distance à droite par coefficient d'impulsion. Un cap de véhicule (601') et une distance parcourue (1201) par ce dernier sont déterminés à l'aide de la distance parcourue par la roue gauche et de la distance parcourue par la roue droite. Une valeur de correction (901, 1001) est définie et correspond à une relation mesurée entre le comptage d'impulsions de la roue gauche et celui de la roue droite. Puis sont définies une nouvelle distance à gauche par coefficient d'impulsion (1105), correspondant à la valeur de correction définie (901, 1001), et une nouvelle distance à droite par coefficient d'impulsion (1101), correspondant à la valeur de correction définie (901, 1001). Puis la distance à gauche par coefficient d'impulsion (605) est remplacée par la nouvelle distance à gauche par coefficient d'impulsion (1105), et la distance à droite par coefficient d'impulsion (609) est remplacée par la nouvelle distance à droite par coefficient d'impulsion (1101). Cette substitution entraîne un étalonnage de l'odomètre différentiel, compatible avec la valeur de correction définie (901, 1001).
