Abstract: The connection system includes at least one connection assembly having at least one connection module with a connection capacity of N optical lines. A connection module comprises first, second, and third optical switch assemblies (C11 to C1n, C21 to C2n, and C31, C32). The first assembly is connected to the N optical lines, the second assembly is connected firstly to the first assembly and secondly to the junctors and the spare junctors associated with the N optical lines, and the third assembly is connected firstly to the first assembly and secondly to at least one test circuit via a line test optical fiber and via a junctor test optical fiber. When using narrowband optical switches, there are two switching assemblies, one for transmission and the other for reception of the signals conveyed by the optical lines, when using wideband optical switches, then a single switching assembly is used both for transmission and for reception, i.e. for both call directions.

Abstract: An optical transmitter (16) for converting a thermocouple voltage into an optical pulse train and a low pass input filter (30) are contained in respective spaces (28, 30) in a soft magnetic housing (22). The input filter (30) is in lead wires (32, 34) from a thermocouple whose hot junction is embedded in the tip of the insulator of a spark plug (10) of an internal combustion engine. The housing (22) itself forms part of or is connected to the H.T. lead to the centre electrode (12) of the spark plug. The housing (22) is surrounded by insulating material (42) which is itself surrounded by an earthed screening casing (44). The low pass filter (30) is symmetrically constructed, both electrically and mechanically. The filter (30) prevents interference from reaching the circuitry of the optical transmitter (16) and the housing (22) and the casing (44) prevent the generation and transmission of radio interference.

Abstract: Process and apparatus for regulating the interpolar distance to compensate for anode consumption in electrolysis cells. 
<??>As a result of the large differences in the position of the anode beam in the upper and lower position, the current path and the power loss become too large during lowering or raising and substantial variations in the magnetic field arise. The lowering of the anode necessary to remove the anode effect results in a rise in the bath level which may bring about flooding of the carbon anodes and leakage of the melt. 
<??>To avoid these disadvantages, at least one further anode beam (2) is movably arranged parallel to, and at a variable distance from, the first anode beam (1), the anode rods (3) being attached either to the first or the second anode beam and the anode beams (1, 2) each being connected to a drive running in the opposite direction. This makes it possible to adjust the individual anodes precisely to the to anode consumption at a particular time. 
<??>Regulation of the interpolar distance in electrolysis cells, in particular those used for aluminium melt electrolysis.

Abstract: The valve device (30) for a connector (10) of a catheter (21) or the like consists of an open, beaker-shaped hollow cylinder (31) with a slotted base part (34) which is axially movable in a chamber (11) of the housing (20) of the connector (10). A helical spring (40) surrounding the hollow cylinder (31) forces it in the closure position with its opening edge against the inner end of a connector insert opening (13) of the housing whose diameter is greater than the inner circumference of the opening edge of the hollow cylinder (31). The base part (34) of the hollow cylinder (31) is in this case drawn into an adapted central opening (56) of a retention ring (50) fixed in the housing (20), from which opening the base part (34) can be pushed out axially in order to release its branches (43, 44) formed by the slot (42). 
<??>The rubber-elastic hollow cylinder is in this case at all times free from stress, so that the edges of the slot of the base part (34) do not deform. Nevertheless, the insertion of the retention ring (50) achieves an effective closure of the through-flow channel of the connector (10) both against air introduced from the outside and against blood seeping out from the inside.

Le supraconducteur ainsi obtenu peut être utilisé dans la production de matériaux pour fils conducteurs grâce à sa température critique élevée et à sa stabilité thermique élevée.

Abstract: A catalyst composition effective in removing hazardous substances contained in combustion waste gas discharged from an industrial plant, an automobile, etc., and causing photochemical smog, such as NOx, CO and hydrocarbons, which has been developed on the basis of the finding that a crystalline silicate having specified chemical composition and crystalline structure and containing copper not only exhibits an extremely high activity as a catalyst for catalytic decomposition of NO but also is excellent in the selectivity of NO to N2 and has a stable activity in the presence of oxygen and SOx, and that the content of NOx, CO and hydrocarbons is reduced near the theoretical air/fuel ratio and in a region higher than the theoretical air fuel ratio, that is when oxygen is present. More specifically this catalyst is effective as a catalyst for decomposing NOx in an exhaust gas into N2 and O2, and in particular it can effectively decrease the content of NOx, CO and hydrocarbons in an exhaust gas.

Abstract: A method of encoding a speech signal is provided. This method improves the excitation codebook and search procedure of the conventional Code-Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) speech encoders. This code is based on a sparse algebraic code consisting in particular, but not exclusively, of interleaving N single-pulse permutation codes. The search complexity in finding the best codeword is greatly reduced by bringing the search back to the algebraic code domain thereby allowing the sparsity of the algebraic code to speed up the necessary computations. More precisely, the sparsity of the code enable the use of a very fast procedure based on N-embedded computation loops.

Date May 16, 1991.In an air suspension system of a vehicle the height of the vehicle platform is maintained in use by height control valves. To facilitate loading, the height may be adjusted by an operator by overriding the height control valves by means of a selector valve. The height may then be adjusted by a Raise/Lower valve. If the operator omits to return the selector valve and/or the Raise/Lower valve to their normal condition, the selector valve is reverted to its normal condition by a pilot line connected to a service brake line so that the vehicle automatically returns to its normal ride height on the first brake application. Alternatively the valve may be operated by a solenoid connected to the brake light circuit so that the service brake line is not affected. In an alternative arrangement, the suspension system height is adjusted by two manually-operable spring-return valves. Again, a selector valve reverts to a condition in which ride height is attained on application of the service brake.
