Abstract: Thiosulfate in anhydrous form is added in minute quantities to beverages such as soft drinks, coffee and tea, or food mixes wherein tap water is added in quantities not greater than about two quarts and preferably not greater than about one quart, to neutralize or destroy chlorines or chloramines in the water, such neutralization or destruction taking place almost instantaneously and, in any event, in a length of time not greater than about twenty seconds or, for most beverages, not greater than about three seconds, depending upon the pH of the beverage or food. The thiosulfate may be added directly to the beverage or to the water by metering apparatus or may have been previously applied in metered quantities to filters for the beverages including tea bags or may be mixed with syrup, powder mix, instant coffees or teas, coffee grounds or tea leaves, or may be encapsulated with a food grade material which is readily dissolvable in water. Because of the rapid reaction of the thiosulfate with the chlorines and the chloramines, the neutralization or destruction of same is essentially complete before a person commences to consume the food or beverage. The thiosulfate may be applied in pellet form to beverages or applied to articles which are inserted into beverages or food or which receive same such as filters, tea bags, cups, stirrers, straws, and the like.

Abstract: A combined speed and depth transducer adapted to be mounted flush in the hull of a ship. An acoustic depth transducer is mounted piggyback on top of an acoustic speed transducer within a single housing. A base plate is sandwiched between the depth transducer and the speed transducer. The dimensions and frequency of transmission of the transducers are selected to prevent ringing in one transducer that may be caused by the acoustic wave of the other transducer. The base plate 40 is constructed to damp the acoustic wave transmitted by the speed transducer and be transparent to the acoustic wave transmitted by the depth transducer. Having the depth and speed transducers mounted within a common housing, and flush with the hull of the ship, provides the advantage of having to make only a single hole in the hull as well as having a low drag.

Abstract: A quantum well type semiconductor laser includes light confining layers of MQB structure comprising a plurality of semiconductor layers having different compositions laminated alternatively, and compositions, layer thicknesses of the layers, and the laminated layer number are adjusted so as to produce an energy barrier of a height higher than the energy barrier inherent to the material against carriers injected into the active layer, and the refractive index distribution in the vicinity of the active layer makes the electric field concentrated at the active layer portion, and the quantum barrier layers are disposed in contact with the quantum well structure active layer. Therefore, the light confinement amount into the active layer is increased as well as the overflow of carriers into the light confinement layer is suppressed, whereby the threshold current of the quantum well laser is reduced, and the external quantum efficiency is enhanced. A quantum well laser includes as a barrier layer constituting an active layer of multi-quantum well structure, a barrier layer of an MQB structure that produces an energy barrier of a height higher than the energy barrier inherent to the material against the carriers injected into the well layer constituting a multi-quantum well structure. Therefore, the similar effects as above are obtained.

Abstract: In a cover (10) for heating or cooling patients, in particular for protecting patients from becoming cold or for once again heating patients who have already become cold during or after surgical interventions, an inner cavity is delimited by an air-tight upper side and by an air-permeable lower side. An air hose can be arranged on a hose connection piece (14). In order to allow the cover (10) to be used repeatedly, and thereby reduce the disposal costs, it is intended that the upper side and the lower side of the heating cover be made of a fabric which can be washed and disinfected and therefore re-used. The upper side is provided with an air-tight coating. A good distribution of the heated air supplied is achieved by means of the fact that the lower side is produced using a fabric which permits diffuse air permeability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The contents of a digital data file, interspersed as packets of data in a bit stream containing entertainment signals and/or other data files, are quickly identified without a high system overhead for identification of each packet. The data file is divided into packets, and sequential groups of packets making up the file are identified as segments. The first packet of each segment has a prefix containing a service identification number, a block number, a segment number, and possibly segment length information, followed by data contents. The following packets of the segment have only the service identification number and block number, followed by the data contents. Where the file data are transmitted repeatedly, often without change in many segments, receiver processing time or power can be greatly reduced by including a version number or toggle bit in the segment prefix, so that a receiver can ignore the unchanged data.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of generating tomographic images of an investigated area, through which X-rays are put from multiple radiation source positions, to generate separate individual images. For each individual image, image values, which correspond to the absorption in its image points, are stored. Tomographic images are generated, and in them tomographic image values are derived from the image values of the image points of the individual images, which are assigned geometrically to a tomographic image point. Contrast reversal and pseudo-resolution effects may occur. These are removed by deriving the tomographic image values by means of a weighted summation, in which the weighting with which the image values of the individual images go into the summation becomes smaller as the distance of the radiation source position from a central radiation source position when the relevant individual image was generated becomes greater. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for etching corrugated patterns, for distributed feedback (DFB) or distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) devices, is disclosed. A masking layer is deposited over the area adjacent to the area where the corrugation is required. A corrugation-patterned mask is formed on the masking layer as well as on the area where the corrugation is required and etching is carried out to form corrugations (62) in the masking layer as well as the desired corrugations (61). The masking layer can then be removed. The material of the masking layer is chosen to etch at the same rate, and thus to deplete the concentration of the etchant by the same amount, as the material in which the corrugations are required. Thus, higher concentrations of etchant near the edge of the masking layer, and consequent over-etching, are avoided.

Abstract: Horizontal and vertical peaking signals are separated from a video signal by combining variously delayed responses to the video signal. A cross-fader XFD1 combines the separated horizontal and vertical peaking signals in proportions determined by a cross-fader control signal. A correlator 34,35, 136 responds to ones of the variously delayed responses to the video signal for generating an output signal representative of the relative degrees of vertical and horizontal correlation in the video signal. The correlator output signal addresses a read-only memory 137 that supplies the cross-fader control signal. The adaptively generated peaking signal is suitable for adjustably peaking a luminance component extracted from the video signal, where that video signal is a composite signal also including a chrominance component. The extraction of the luminance component is preferably done on an adaptive basis, generating horizontal and vertical comb filter responses by suitably combining the variously delayed responses to the video signal and, with a further cross-fader XFD2, combining the horizontal and vertical comb filter responses in proportions determined by the cross-fader control signal.
