IPC: D04H3/05
Filed: 1990-07-10
Abstract: A method of making a multiple biased structural fabric (40) is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, double biased structural fabric (40) is produced using the novel method. A single fabric layer (11) made up of structural yarns (12) held together by secondary yarns (14) may be biased in a biasing step and is then fed through a folding machine (20). The single biased fabric folded onto itself in the folding machine (20) presents two layers of single biased fabric in the form of a double biased fabric (25). This fabric is then fed to an affixing stage (22; 28). The affixing stage (22; 28) knits or sews the two layers of fabric together to produce the double biased fabric (40) of the instant invention.

Title: Method and apparatus for contactless monitoring of tension in a moving fiber
IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 1992-11-23
Abstract: This invention is a process of contactless monitoring the tension in a 
moving fiber, such as during the process of drawing optical fibers from preforms, 
and a non-contacting tension gauge which allows measurement of fiber tension at 
line speed. The device can be used to monitor the tension during the run without any 
adverse effects on fiber performance. The measurement may be steady, intermittent 
or sinusoidal as appropriate. The process includes the steps of sensing an initial 
position of a moving optical fiber, applying a gas jet onto a section of the optical 
fiber in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the fiber so as to cause 
deflection of the moving fiber axially of the gas jet, sensing the magnitude of 
deflection of the fiber relative to the said initial position, and, depending on the 
magnitude of deflection, adjusting the tension in the fiber so as to cause the change 
in the magnitude of deflection to a preselected value. The monitoring is especially 
suitable for monitoring the tension in an optical fiber being drawn from a heated 
preform, the tension being adjusted by adjusting the temperature of the fiber-drawing 
furnace.

Title: Process for impregnation and expansion of tobacco.
Inventor: CHO KWANG H
IPC: A24B3/12
Filed: 1993-12-15
Abstract: Tobacco is fed to a cylinder (4) carried by an indexing rotary table (2) which carries the cylinder through four stations in succession. At the second station the tobacco is compacted (by piston 13). At the third station the tobacco batch is transferred to a pressure vessel (14) and is cooled by flowing carbon dioxide gas through the batch. The outlet (32') is then closed and the pressure of the gas is raised to effect impregnation. The initial cooling is such that a controlled amount of carbon dioxide condenses on the tobacco. The pressure is then released and the expansion of the gas and evaporation of the liquid carbon dioxide cools the impregnated tobacco. At the fourth station the tobacco is discharged (17) and is subsequently expanded by heating. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dual mode transmitter circuit is disclosed including a non-linear high-power
amplifier having an amplification that can be adjusted and a linear high-power
amplifier. A first switch and a second switch are connected to the input and
output of the linear, high-power amplifier. An amplification-adjustable, high-frequency
transmitter control amplifier is connected to the input of the non-linear
high-power amplifier. Means for measuring transmission power such as a
directional coupler is connected to the second switch, and a duplex filter is
connected to the directional coupler. A power level control circuit is responsive
to the measured transmission power from the directional coupler and to a power
level signal. The power level signal is representative of the desired output power
of the transmitter. The power level control circuit compares the measured power
level from the directional coupler with the desired power level and produces a
difference signal on its output lead which is connected to both the non-linear
high-power amplifier and to the high-frequency transmitter control amplifier. A
mode selection signal, for designating either an analog or digital type
transmission mode is applied to a mode control circuit that is responsive to the
mode selection signal and provides switching signals to the first and second
switches and a control signal to the linear amplifier. The mode selection signal
sets the transmitter to function in either the non-linear transmission (analog)
mode or the linear transmission (digital) mode.
