Abstract: In an individual section (IS) machine glassware forming system (10) that includes a gob distributor (16) for delivering glass gobs to individual machine sections (20a, 20b---20n) in sequence, blank molds (30) at each machine section for forming gobs into blanks and blow molds (32) at each machine section for forming the blanks into hollow glass containers, apparatus for timing arrival of the gobs at each machine section and terminating operation of a section in the event of an imminent gob misload comprises gob sensors (40, 42) and associated electronics (44, 46) for determining gob arrival timing at each machine section. The gob arrival timing so determined is compared to a preset shut-down limit at each machine section. Operation of the blank molds at a machine section is immediately terminated when gob arrival timing at that section exceeds the preset limit, while the blow molds and ware transfer mechanisms for that section are permitted to complete an operating cycle. In this way, damage to the blank molds and generation of tramp glass are prevented while the section is cleared of acceptable glassware. After the potentially misloaded glass is cleared and any necessary repairs are made, the machine section may be restarted employing normal restart techniques. Operation at the other machine sections continues without interruption. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The safety valve has a tapering valve (6) which seals onto a valve seat (D). As the valve is progressively opened, the direction of the vented fluid changes from a lateral direction to a more axial direction. The valve is fitted with a thruster (T) whose underside has a shaped groove into which the vented fluid is directed. The vented fluid strikes different parts of the profiled groove for different open settings of the valve. At small openings, the more lateral flow generates a small opening reaction force on the valve, whilst for a larger opening a stronger reaction force is obtained by the more radial flow.

Abstract: A laser parametric generator for surgical applications is disclosed which utilizes short-pulse, mid-infrared radiation. The mid-infrared radiation may be produced by a pump laser source (20), such as a neodymium-doped laser, which is parametrically downconverted in a suitable nonlinear crystal (15) to the desired mid-infrared range. The short pulses reduce unwanted thermal effects and changes in adjacent to potentially submicron levels. The parametrically converted radiation source preferably produces pulse durations shorter than 25 ns at or near 3.0  mu m but preferably close to the water absorption maximum associated with the tissue. The down-conversion to the desired mid-infrared wavelength is preferably produced by a nonlinear crystal (15) such as KTP or its isomorphs. In one embodiment, a non-critically phased-matched crystal is utilized to shift the wavelength from a near-infrared laser source emitting at or around 880 to 900 nm to the desired 2.9 to 3.0  mu m wavelength range. A fiber, fiber bundle or another waveguide means utilized to separate the pump laser from the optical parametric oscillation (OPO) cavity is also included as part of the invention.

Abstract: A communications system in which a communications channel is defined at least in part by an electromagnetic wave having a carrier frequency and an electric field vector, the extremity or terminus of which traces a non-linear periodic path at a rotation frequency less than the carrier frequency and greater than zero from the perspective of an observer looking into the axis of propagation of the wave. The transmitter of the communications system launches a wave having such characteristics and modulated with information in a suitable manner. The receiver of the communications system is sensitive to the periodic path and rotation frequency. The combination of the periodic path and the carrier frequency provides selectivity that can be used to define multiple communications channels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting faults in and/or measuring the wall thickness of continuously moving strips, sections or tubes of plastics, using ultrasonic signals. To this end a number of ultrasonic heads (A, B, C, D) with transmitters and receivers are disposed distributed over the width of the strip or section or the periphery of the tube. The signal, emitted by a transmitter of an ultrasonic measuring head (3) and reflected without scatter, is received by the receiver of said ultrasonic measuring head (3), while the scattered signals reflected on the tube, section or the like are received by the receivers of its adjacent ultrasonic measuring heads (A, B). The inclusion of the scattered and reflected signals in the measurement appreciably increases the measured area per measurement in comparison with using exclusively the signal directly reflected without scatter.

Abstract: A multilayer porous fabric which comprises a porous core fabric (10) provided with hook means (11), and at least one layer of pre-needled nonwoven fibrous batt (12A,12B) attached by entanglement onto the hook means (11) by pressing the core fabric and batt together. The entanglement is sufficient to anchor the batt reliably to the core fabric, so that the multilayer fabric is ready for use without further processing. The porous core fabric may be formed by weaving or as an extruded sheet, with a plurality of suitably located hook means structures on at least one of its surfaces. The hook structures engage with and entangle sufficient fibers from the pre-needled nonwoven batt to provide adequate attachment preventing the batt from separating from the core fabric enabling the multilayer fabric to be handled before use, for example for installation in a papermaking machine press section. The batt is pre-needled to a desired density before attachment to the core fabric. In many circumstances, compressive loads applied to the porous fabric serve to enhance and improve the level of entanglement of the batt onto the hook means. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement to the assay for creatinine in fluid test samples by contacting the test sample with a reagent formulation containing cupric ions, a hydroperoxide and an oxidizable dye. The improvement involves the inclusion of one or more selected quinolines in the reagent formulation. When the quinoline is substituted with methyl in the 2-5 position and/or a methoxy in the 2-6 position autooxidation of the oxidizable dye is reduced. When the quinoline is further substituted in an otherwise unsubstituted carbon atom in the 2-8 position, the assay's resistance to interference from hemoglobin and ascorbate is increased.

Abstract: In a method and an amplifier for the compensation of unlinearities e.g. of the class D type, wherein an audio signal is pulse-width modulated, e.g. with a carrier wave signal in the form of a triangular signal to provide a pulse-width modulated small-signal, the so-called multiplicative error signals, which occur prior to the provision of a pulse-width modulated great-signal (7), are detected in a detector (10)). It is noted that the carrier wave signal could be analog as well as digital. The signal from the detector, which is derived on the basis of differences between the pulse widths of the small-signals and the pulse widths of the great-signals, is used for changing the carrier wave signal so that the amplifier gets a constant gain in the entire audio range and is thereby linearized. To compensate additionally for the multiplicative errors which manifest themselves in the pulse height as well as the pulse width of the pulse-width modulated great-signal (7), the value of the carrier wave signal is changed as a function of the pulse-width modulated small-signal (5) multiplied by the pulse-width modulated great-signal and the inverted pulse-width modulated small-signal multiplied by the inverted pulse-width modulated great-signal.

Abstract: A transmitter in a radiocommunications system such as a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) communications system transmits one set of data on an in-phase (I-) channel and another set of data on a quadrature (Q-) channel. The transmitter generates a gain signal, ², and multiplies the digital data associated with the Q-channel by the gain signal, ². Complexity of the multiplication operation is reduced by limiting the gain signal, ², to a finite number of values that are exactly representable by a predefined number of bits, such as 4-bit values to the right of a binary radix point. Modulation inaccuracy associated with quantization of ² can be eliminated by utilizing the same quantized values of ² in all components within the radiocommunications system.
