Abstract: Das zur Bildung eines künstlichen Weichgewebeteils und/oder zur Verstärkung eines natürlichen Weichgewebeteils, wie eines Bandes oder einer Sehne, dienende alloplastische Material (1) weist Bündel (3) von lose zusammengehaltenen, metallischen Fasern (5) auf. Die Fasern (5) bestehen vorzugsweise aus einer Legierung auf Titanbasis, die mindestens eines der Metalle Niob, Tantal, Zirkon, Chrom, Molybdän, Eisen und Aluminium enthält, und können mit einem Überzug aus einer in einem menschlichen oder tierischen Körper resorbierbaren, organischen Substanz versehen sein. An den Oberflächen von aus einer solchen Legierung bestehenden Fasern entstehen Oxydfilme, die das sich darunter befindende Metall gegen die im menschlichen oder tierischen Körper stattfindenden, chemischen Einwirkungen schützen. Ferner sind die als Legierungsbestandteile in den Fasern vorhandenen Metalle nicht toxisch und ermöglichen eine gute Bindung mit natürlichem Gewebe. Die Dicke der Fasern (5) beträgt ohne den allfälligen Überzug weniger als 20 µm und vorzugsweise höchstens 15 µm, so dass die Biegungen der Fasern (5), die beim in einem menschlichen oder tierischen Körper eingesetzten alloplastischen Material (1) auftreten, kaum mehr Ermüdungsbrüche bewirken.

Abstract: The characteristic parameters of a semiconductor laser (1) acting as an amplifier and brought to bistable operating conditions are determined. To this aim the output power (I2) of laser (1) is measured as a function of the power (I1) of an amplitude-modulated optical input signal to determine the laser hysteresis loop; the switching points (P1, P2) between the two stable states of the laser (1) are identified, the input and output power values [I2(P1), I1(P1), I2(P2), I1(P2)] relevant to such points are memorized, and at least the value of the non-linear refractive index coefficient (n₂) of the material used to fabricate the laser (1) is determined starting from the power values relevant to at least one of said points (P1, P2). By exploiting the power values relevant to both switching points (P1, P2) also the amplification factor (A), the finesse parameter (F) of the passive cavity of the laser (1) and the wavelength difference (λ₁-λ₂) between the laser under test (1) and a second laser (3) generating the optical signal causing the laser under test (1) to operate under bistable conditions are measured.

Abstract: A laser radar system includes one or more laser amplifiers (60a) in the beam paths to provide greater optical power for increased distance. Eleven system architectures are disclosed for use with a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer, eleven are disclosed for use with a Fizeau interferometer, and three are disclosed for use in a noncoherent optical system. The architectures are distinguished by the number and placement of the laser amplifiers in the optical paths of the system. In a coherent Mach-Zhender architecture, a laser (20) is frequency modulated with a symmetrical triangular wave by a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) controlling its non-transmitting end reflector (22). A local oscillator beam is produced by reflection at a beamsplitter (42) and is reflected (46) through a half-wave plate (48) and a beam combiner (50) to a detector (70). The direct beam from the laser (20) passes through the beam splitter (42), a Brewster angle plate (54) and a quarter-wave plate (58) to the target. A beam reflected back from the target to the Brewster plate (54) is reflected to the combiner (50) and thence to the detector (70). A laser amplifier (60a) is included between the splitter (42) and the Brewster angle plate (54).

Abstract: A system includes one or more databases, a terminal for use by a user and a processor. The databases store data and retrieve the stored data in response to the receipt of a data retrieval request from the processor. The terminal generates an input screen and an output screen. The input screen displays, for the user, data selection criteria identifiers which the user may select to identify data of interest, and functions for processing the data as desired by the user. The output screen displays the processed data. The processor generates, in response to the selected data selection criteria from said terminal, a data retrieval request for processing by the databases. Upon receipt of the retrieved data, the processor processes the retrieved data as called for by the selected function selection criteria to generate processed data, which the processor transmits to the terminal for display on the output screen. In a refinement, the processed data is identified by a data type, and said processor selecting a display type, for example, a line graph, bar graph, or other, based on the data type of the processed data, by which the output screen displays the data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a configuration for processing time-command signals. For many applications in data processing, e.g. in stored-program control systems, programable times are required for time-dependent control of operations. As rapid as possible an availability of a current time value after a time enquiry is achieved when a time memory (ZS) has a first memory (S1) and a second memory (S2), and when a processing logic element (BL), which is controlled by a clock pulse, alternately reads out stored time values from one memory (S1, S2), processes them and writes them into the other memory (S2, S1) and in the event of a time enquiry makes the respectively valid time value available. The invention is applied in data processing installations, in particular in stored-program control units. <IMAGE>

Inventor: HEIDEMANN ROLF DR
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 1990-04-12
Abstract: The invention is based on the problem of transmitting a frequency- division multiplex signal, which occupies a wide frequency band, for example the cable television frequency band from 60 to 440 MHz, via an optical waveguide transmission link. According to the invention, the entire frequency band to be transmitted is converted in the transmitting device by single-sideband amplitude modulation of a radio-frequency carrier (f0) to a higher-frequency frequency band, for example 840 to 1240 MHz which, referred to its lowermost frequency, has a width of less than one octave. Second-order intermodulation products which are usually produced during the conversion into an optical signal thus do not fall into occupied frequency bands. At the receiving end, a corresponding demodulation is effected, either with recovery of the transmitted carrier or by using a locally generated carrier. An advantageous further development consists in the frequency band to be transmitted being converted into the higher-frequency band in several sub-bands. <IMAGE>

A detection means (27) detects an end indication tape (C) adhered to a trailing end portion of the strip-like material (A) of the roll (R). A cutting/unrolling means (39) automatically unrolls the strip-like material (A) from the roll (R), and cuts the leading and trailing end portions of the strip-like material (A) to form the leading and trailing ends. The unrolled strip-like material (A) is guided along a predetermined path by a guide means (121). A joining station (122) is arranged midway along the guide path. One strip-like material (A) is fed through the joining station (122) by a feeding means (137, 138), and the leading end portion of the other strip-like material (A) is stopped and stands by at the joining station (122). When the trailing end of one strip-like material (A) passes through the join­ing station (122), the leading end of the other standby strip-­like material (A) is joined to the trailing end of the one strip-like material (A) by a joining means (170). A portion of the fed strip-like material (A) is accumulated by a dancer roller means (146), and is fed during the joining operation, so that feeding of the strip-like materials (A) is not interrupted.
