Title: Closed-loop purging system for laser
Inventor: PANG YANG
IPC: H01S3/034
Filed: 2003-05-13
Abstract: A method of operating a laser (20) is disclosed. Components of the laser (20) are located in an enclosure (42), which may contain contaminants including water vapor and organic vapor released by the optical components, mounts of the optical components, or the enclosure (42) itself. The enclosure (42) may also contain suspended particulate matter and ozone. In order to reduce the level of these contaminants, a purging system (26) extracts gas from the enclosure (42) and passes the gas through a catalyst (88) to decompose the ozone, a desiccant (78), an organic vapor trapping material (82), and a particulate matter filter (84), then returns the extracted gas to the enclosure (42). Decomposing ozone is particularly important if the laser generates radiation at a wavelength less than 270 nm.

Title: Method for operating a nuclear power station and device for carrying out said method
Inventor: WOLF HARTWIG
IPC: G21C19/307
Filed: 2003-07-07
Abstract: A method for operating a nuclear power station (10), wherein water is vaporised in a reactor (26) in a water steam cycle (11), the vapour thus produced is expanded in one or several steam turbines (12), the expanded vapour is condensed in a subsequent condenser (13), the condensate is pumped into a feed-water container (25) by means of a condensate pump (14) and feed-water is pumped out of the feed-water container (25) back into the reactor (26) by means of a feed-water pump in order to produce water vapour, hydrogen being added to the feed-water in order to reduce tension-cracking corrosion. The inventive method increases the degree of safety and reduces construction expenses by virtue of the fact that at least one part of the hydrogen added to the feed-water is obtained from non-condensable gases in the reactor (26).

Abstract: A reconstruction method based on a white-compensated luminance-reconstruction and using filter weights referred to as smartgreen-parameters is proposed. An aliasing free luminance signal, even at the multiples of the sample frequency, and in case of a camera without optical low pass filter is achieved. Moreover this white-compensated-luminance-signal is free of signal distortion. The proposed method allows a suitable low pass filter to be added or combined and in particular will suited to implement a variety of aliasing free color- and contour-filters. The RGB color signals are reconstructed using filter weights that can be chosen as a function of the heaviness of the sensor matrix and of the optical transfer of the camera. It is proposed to apply a contour-reconstruction-filter in parallel with the color-reconstruction-filter.

Abstract: A method for routing a service request in a telecommunication system in cases where the identifier received for the destination of the service is not (or can not be) suitable for routing the service, such as when a E.164 number is received in IP based multimedia telecommunication systems. Upon reception of a service request in a telecommunications node of the telecommunication system in charge of serving control for services, a query comprising the received identifier is made to a translation database. As a result, a plurality of identifiers related to the received identifier are received that can have different formats and imply different service types. The service is further routed from said telecommunications node according to an identifier selected among said plurality of identifiers that contains the primarily received identifier in the user name portion.

Abstract: A variable flow infant feeding assembly is designed so that a caregiver can select an optimal feeding flow rate without having to change nipples, as may be desired depending upon the age and appetite of the infant as well as the liquid that is being dispensed. Preferably, the assembly includes a baby bottle and a nipple member (14) that has ventilation structure (24,26,28) defined therein for permitting replacement air to enter the baby bottle during feeding. Retention structure such as a threaded ring member is provided for securing the nipple member to the baby bottle. Advantageously, variable restrictor structure (44,46,48) is provided, preferably so as to be integral with the ring member, for selectively blocking at least a portion of the ventilation structure. By controlling the size of the opening through which replacement air flows into the baby bottle, the variable restrictor structure permits the feeding flow rate through the nipple member to be adjusted by a caregiver.

Abstract: In a method for determining the zero-point error of a Coriolis gyro, the resonator of the Coriolis gyro has a disturbance force applied to it such that a change in the stimulation oscillation of the resonator is brought about. A change in the read oscillation of the resonator, caused by a partial component of the disturbance force, is extracted from a read signal which represents the read oscillation of the resonator as a measure of the zero-point error.

Abstract: A wideband, high quality audio signal is decoded with few calculations at a low bitrate. Unwanted spectrum components accompanying sinusoidal signal injection by a synthesis subband filter built with real-value operations are suppressed by inserting a suppression signal to subbands adjacent to the subband to which the sine wave is injected. This makes it possible to inject a desired sinusoid with few calculations.

Abstract: Pile weatherstripping, which is clad with a wrapping of a film (14, 25, 104, 216) of flexible material, has one or more rows (19, 27, 100, 102, 212, 214) of pile (10, 24, 105, 233) on a backing (12, 28, 106, 218) in side-by-side relationship. The wrapping film material conforms to the outside surface of the row (19, 27, 100, 102, 214) of pile so as to define a bulb or bulbs which are completely filled with pile. Single row (19, 27) pile weatherstripping is made by wrapping the pile (10, 24) with the film material (14, 25) after first ultrasonically welding the film material along one edge thereof to the backing (12, 28) under the pile. Then, the film material (14, 25) may be bent around the pile as it moves through a guide (88). The film material (14, 25) is then attached along the opposite edge to the backing thereof so as to completely enclose and clad the row (19, 27) of weatherstripping. The film material may be wrapped around one row (214) of two adjacent rows (212, 214) of pile (233) and attached to the backing (218), leaving the other row (212) unclad. The film material (104) may be wrapped separately around adjacent rows and attached to the backing (106) to provide two clad rows (100, 102) of weatherstripping. By selection of the porosity of the film material (14, 25, 104, 216) and the density of the pile (10, 24, 105, 233), weatherstripping having desired compressibility and air and water infiltration control properties may be produced.

The treatment station includes a filter system (50) capable of extracting particulate material from the oil and removing particular material from the filler system as it is removed from the oil. The treated oil may then be transported for reuse, preferable in a continuous cycle with the source of the oil. A prefiltering system may be used to further enhance maintaining the quality of the oil and/or in efficiently treating the oil while accommodating thoughtout requirements. The prefiltering system (48) may include a comminuter (53) to reduce the size of larger particles in the oil, a coarse filtering system to remove larger particle, a system to introduce a treatment material to the oil or other system to facilitate processing. The filtering system is designed to remove particles from the oil having a size of fifteen microns or smaller in the preferred embodiment.

Abstract: If a trigger signal transmitted from another trigger unit in a set range is received after a

identifier information that has been received corresponds to the identifier information
stored in a memory after the transmission of a trigger signal, a count value remains
untouched (YES in S55). It is apparent that identifier information was transmitted before
from one of wheel-side units that has supplied a trigger signal, and that the trigger signal
has not been received by a desired one of the wheel-side units. An operator can supply a
