Abstract: An improved twist-on wire connector that permits the user to form the junction ends of wire
leads into a low resistance electrical connection with the twist-on wire connector including a
self adhering lubricant located along a portion of the interior of the twist-on wire connector.
In one embodiment the wires are drawn into the housing by a spiral thread through the
twisting action of the wires with respect to housing. As the wires are drawn into the spiral
thread, the torque applied to the wires increases until the wires can no longer be hand
twisted into the wire connector. Once the wires are drawn into contact with the lubricant the
torque resistance, which is a result of frictional resistance between the wires and the spiral
thread, decreases while the radial compressive forces between the wires and the spiral thread
are substantially unaffected. Consequently, the rate of torsonial resistance decreases
allowing the wires to be brought into further electrical contact along a greater length through
only hand tightening while at the same time the radially compressive forces on the wires are
greater thus ensuring a low resistance electrical contact that remains stable over an extending
period of time. Because only a small amount of self-adhering lubricant is needed within the
wire connector to provide an enhanced low-resistance electrical connection problems of the
self-adhering lubricant accidentally coming into contact with the exterior housing of other
twist-on wire connectors is minimized even if not caps are used on the twist-on wire
connectors.

Abstract: A liquid sample analyzer with a flow-through liquid waveguide cell is
described. The light source is fiber coupled to a liquid waveguide or light pipe. The
light pipe can be remotely located and fiber coupled to the spectrometer so that the
light source is thermally isolated making the spectrometer easily thermally stabilized,
and the dispersion minimized. The liquid waveguide cell includes a light pipe that has
a lower index of refraction than the liquid flowing through the light pipe. Light is
input into the liquid waveguide by an optical fiber that is coupled to the liquid
waveguide. The optical fiber diameter and the light pipe core diameter and spaceing
are selected to provide coupling of all light modes transmitted through the optical fiber
into the light pipe. The output light is received by an optical fiber which is arranged to
receive all of the light transmitted through the light pipe. The light output from the
light pipe is fiber-coupled to the spectrometer with a fiber bundle that is arranged in
the form of a slit at the distal end or entrance aperture of the spectrometer.

Abstract: A designer builds a condensed, generic form of a spreadsheet which is a
definition file. This can be designed in Microsoft Excel, following a set of
guidelines, or using a high level symbolic language. If required, HTML files
can be produced directly from the Excel definition file to enable the user to
input parameters using a web browser. A user defines the various
parameters that are to be used for their particular spreadsheet and the
software of the present invention expands the template's rows and columns
according to those requirements, working out the effect on the formulae and
linked cells as this takes place. Behind the scenes a set of information tables
are built, either in memory or in a file, based on the information in the
definition file. These tables are processed in a structured way to build the
spreadsheet formulae, reference other tables and build any objects required
to operate the model. Formulae are copied and/or rebuilt depending on the
circumstances in which they will be used. In addition, the data input areas of
the spreadsheet can be separated onto another worksheet to facilitate
usability. Reports and charts can be adjusted to suit the data. Several
templates or definitions can be combined into one spreadsheet and other
objects, e.g. drop down lists and scrollbars, can be added to enhance
usability. VBA code can also be included to perform complex operations not
normally available in a spreadsheet. Definition libraries that describe, or
contain a copy of, a part of the model can be added seamlessly, for example,
a bar chart with a particular colour scheme or a complicated calculating
function. The definition library can also contain VBA code, which can become
part of the finished model and can add to its functionality.

Abstract: Let us consider a plurality of input patterns having an
essential characteristic in common but which differ on at
least one parameter (this parameter modifies the input pattern
in some extent but not this essential characteristic for a
specific application). During the learning phase, each input
pattern is normalized in a normalizer, before it is presented
to a classifier. If not recognized, it is learned, i.e. the
normalized pattern is stored in the classifier as a prototype
with its category associated thereto. From a predetermined
reference value of that parameter, the normalizer computes an
element related to said parameter which allows to set the
normalized pattern from the input pattern and vice versa to
retrieve the input pattern from the normalized pattern. As a
result, all these input patterns are represented by the same
normalized pattern. The above method and circuits allow to
reduce the number of required prototypes in the classifier,
improving thereby its response quality.
