Abstract: Both an apparatus and method are provided for vaporizing a liquid cryogen and super heating the resulting vapor into a heated gas. The apparatus includes a combustion-type heat source which may burn a fuel such as propane that generates water-containing combustion gases, and a vaporizer coil having an inlet conduit for receiving a flow of a liquid cryogen, such as liquid carbon dioxide, and an outlet conduit for expelling vaporized cryogen. An annular casing surrounds but is spaced apart from the vaporizer coil. The casing isolates the vaporizer coil from contact with water-containing combustion gases generated by the heat source, thereby preventing the formation of unwanted water and ice on the coil, while at the same time transferring heat from these gases to the coil by thermal radiation. A superheating coil is serially connected to the vaporizer coil to further heat the vaporized cryogen. Both the vaporizer coil and super heater coil are compactly configured and disposed within a heat-insulating housing for minimizing heat losses. The device is particularly well adapted for use as a defroster or a heater in a mobile cryogenic refrigeration system.

Abstract: A reduced keyboard disambiguating system (50) having a keyboard (54) with a reduced number of keys. A plurality of letters and symbols are assigned to a set of data keys (56) so that keystrokes entered by a user are ambiguous. Due to the ambiguity in each keystroke, an entered keystroke sequence could match a number of words with the same number of letters. The disambiguating system includes a memory (104) having a number of vocabulary modules (110). The vocabulary modules contain a library of objects that are each associated with a keystroke sequence. Each object is also associated with a frequency of use. Objects within the vocabulary modules that match the entered keystroke sequence are identified by the disambiguating system. Objects associated with a keystroke sequence that match the entered keystroke sequence are displayed to the user in a selection list (76). The objects are listed in the selection list according to their frequency of use. An unambiguous select key (60) is pressed by a user to delimit the end of a keystroke sequence. The first entry in the selection list is automatically selected by the disambiguating system as the default interpretation of the ambiguous keystroke sequence. The user accepts the selected interpretation by starting to enter another ambiguous keystroke sequence. Alternatively, the user may press the select key a number of times to select other entries in the selection list. For words that are not in the vocabulary modules, a two-stroke or multiple-stroke method are used to unambiguously specify each letter. The disambiguating system simultaneously interprets all entered keystroke sequences as a word, as a two-stroke sequence, and as a multiple-stroke sequence. The multiple interpretations are automatically and simultaneously provided to the user in the selection list.

In a first aspect, a signal representing a plurality of partially separated sample zones is measured, a point-spread-function of the signal is determined, and the Fourier transform of the signal and the point-spread-function is taken. Next, a noise component n of the signal is determined and the value of a result signal A(f) is calculated using the following filter   <IMAGE>   where D(f) is the Fourier transform of the signal, P(f) is the Fourier transform of the point-spread-function, and P*(f) is the complex conjugate of P(i). Finally, the inverse Fourier transform of the result A(f) is taken and reported as A(t). Preferably, the point-spread function is a Gaussian function having a standard deviation  sigma , where  sigma  is determined using either an  alpha  beta  tracker or the function  sigma =(a+bt2)+E,fra 1/2+EE , where a and b are constants. In a second aspect of the invention, a plurality of possible point-spread-functions of the signal are determined and the above-described method is applied using each PSF. The value of the largest point-spread-function which provides a nonnegative result is determined, and the associated value of A(t) is reported. In a third aspect of the invention, a program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform the method steps of the first or the second aspects of the invention is provided.

Abstract: The non-linear optical mirror (NOLM) is formed in a loop of optical fibre, with its operation being independent of the polarisation of the signals offered on the signal and control inputs (wavelengths lambda-s and lambda-c respectively). The loop is composed of four sections (T1, T2, T3, T4) of fibre maintaining polarisation and of equivalent optical length. These sections are linked by three splices (E1, E2, E3) at three locations. At the first and third splices, the neutral propagation axes of the fibre are turned by 90 degrees. At the second splice a mode converter is inserted in the loop. This comprises an optical demultiplexer and multiplexer, as well as two optical channels connecting them. The demultiplexer divides the two signals (lambda-s and lambda-c) into the two channels. The channel carrying the control signal effects a 90 degree rotation. On the other channel there is no rotation. The multiplexer then recombines the two signals.
