Abstract: In a digital optical switch which is based on the mode-selectivity principle, made up of a passive section (A) containing a first optical wave guide (1) and a second optical wave guide (2) and a switching section (B) containing a third optical wave guide (3) and a fourth optical wave guide (4), both the required asymmetry and the bringing of the optical wave guides within or outside each other's interaction region are achieved with the aid of curves (K1, K2) in said optical wave guides. In the switching section (B) said asymmetry is switchable. Use is made of the effect that a curve results, in general, in a reduction of the propagation constant in the optical wave guide. Suitable curves are of circular-arc shape and sinusoidal. The switching section (B) may furthermore incorporate a short intermediate section (s-u) in which the optical wave guides (12, 13) run straight at a small mutual angle ( PHI ) in the event that the switchable asymmetry is in the first instance too small with a particular choice of material. The invention makes possible much shorter switches which have a greater packing density. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Device for dispatching video and/or audio signals to several receivers. A typical installation has a main television receiver (1), optically coupled to a video recorder (2), and a standard antenna (4) for video and/or audio signal reception. A distributor (5) transmits these signals to the main receiver and to at least one auxiliary television receiver (7), and is coupled to at least one additional source (912) of baseband video and/or audio signals, which is independent of the reception antenna. The device has a dispatcher unit (14) which receives the antenna signals and transmits them to the main receiver directly, or through the video recorder, and receives the baseband video and/or audio signals from the independent source. A bypass unit (15) is mounted on a coaxial connection cable (6) between the antenna and the dispatcher unit in order to both avoid return signal towards the antenna of the signals received from this dispatcher unit, and also to allow their transmission towards the auxiliary receiver through an additional coaxial cable (9). An incoming unit (16) receives signals from the dispatcher unit through the bypass unit and transmits them to the auxiliary receiver.

Abstract: A new controlled release vehicle which acts by breakdown of the entrapping material upon hydration has been developed. The preferred release vehicle is made of a carboxylated cellulose, e.g., carboxymethylcellulose, which is treated with a cross-linking agent such as aluminum ions and, preferably, a hydrophobicity agent such as acetic acid. The vehicle is broken down by a release agent, e.g., cellulase, which may be coated on the vehicle together with a coating agent, e.g., hydroxypropylcellulose. The vehicle is dried, entrapping the molecular to be entrapped, e.g., an enzyme, and hydration activates the cellulase which breaks down the carboxymethylcellulose, releasing the entrapped molecular.

Abstract: For remote indication of the position of the movable member (7) of a double-acting, fluid-pressurized hydraulic setting motor (6) communicating with two control conduits (A2, B2) for the supply and removal of pressure fluid to actuate the movable element (7) for movement in an opening direction or in a closing direction, use is made of a volumeter (3) having a capacity corresponding to the stroke volume of the setting motor (6). The two control conduits (A2, B2) may be connected through a multi-way valve (2) with a pressure line (P) and a tank line (T) or, in a neutral state both of them may be connected with the tank line (T). The volumeter (3) is coupled to the multi-way valve (2) in such a manner that in both operating positions it is connected into the control line connected with the tank line (T), whereas it is barred in the neutral condition. The two control conduits are connected with the setting motor over pilot controlled non-return valve arrangements (4) each of which in the neutral state prevents pressure fluid from passing from the setting motor to the control conduits, whereas in the operating position return of pressure fluid to tank is being opened only after a sufficient working pressure has been established in the pressurized control conduit.
