Abstract: A fiber optic communications network includes multiple transmitters and multiple receivers connected by an optical WDM transmission link, the receivers having output channels for providing signals to terminal devices, each receiver including a demodulator to detect and recover a received signal, and the network includes at least one optical amplifier having a shutdown input for actuating the safety shut down of the network upon detecting a disconnect in the transmission line. The system includes circuitry connected to the output of each of the demodulators for sensing the presence of a valid signal and for determining whether a predetermined number of valid signals are present at the demodulators. If the number of valid signals detected is less than the predetermined majority number, the safety shutdown function is actuated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to a solid combustible element and a method for manufacturing it, whereby in the element an open or closed internal space is provided, and in this space is placed a chemical product for disintegrating a combustion deposit layer. When burning this element in a combustion device, such as e.g. a hearth or a stove, the product is released so that a combustion deposit layer (e.g. consisting of soot, ash and tar) formed on the walls of the combustion device or the smoke flue is disintegrated. The element is preferably formed by compressing an amount of loose particles of one or several solid combustible materials, such as among others wood waste and sawdust, without adding any binding agent. Such an element can be manufactured at lower raw material and production costs than the known elements in which such a product is incorporated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine (1) which can be operated with different fuels which have different energy densities, e.g., petrol or natural gas. The invention provides that in order to balance the different output development, especially if an internal combustion engine of this type is used in the drive system of a motor vehicle, the internal combustion engine is operated with a boost in the natural gas mode. A turbo-charger (5) which is known per se or an externally driven load compressor can be used to this end. In this way, it is possible to keep the running characteristics of a motor vehicle constant, even with the use of alternative fuels with different energy densities.
