Abstract: In a technique for fabricating a birefringent optical fiber, a preform rod is fabricated having a longitudinal axis, an outer peripheral surface, and a selected refractive index variation. At least one longitudinal groove is cut into the preform rod through its outer peripheral surface, wherein the at least one longitudinal groove has a cross sectional area equal to that of a respective birefringence-inducing stress element to be loaded into the groove, such that when the stress element is loaded into the groove, a portion of the stress element protrudes outside of the circumference of the preform. A respective birefringence-inducing stress element is loaded into the at least one longitudinal groove. A preform assembly is created by positioning the loaded preform rod within an overcladding tube. The preform assembly is drawn into optical fiber.

Abstract: A modular patient communicator provides for communications with a patient implantable medical device (PIMD) and connectivity with a central authority (CA) via an unsecured network. Medical firmware and a radio facilitate wireless interrogation of the PIMD and acquisition of PIMD data. A universal communications port facilitates mechanical and signal connectivity with one or a multiplicity of disparate detachable modules, some of which provide the communicator with an external communications facility and have disparate communication protocols. The communicator is devoid of an external communications facility other than the radio and universal communications port. Life critical network software is executed in cooperation with an attached module to cause the communicator to transmit a request to a network access facility for a connection to the unsecured network, authenticate the communicator to the CA, and facilitate secured communication between the communicator and CA upon successful communicator authentication.

Granted: 1983-05-25
Abstract: A solar collector assembly (10) is capable of directing an extremely thin film of water in direct contact with a collector sheet (19), the film being formed and regulated by air cushion layers (20, 18 and 22) coextensive with the passage or course of water adjacent and in contact with the collector sheet; the pressure of the air cushion layers against the collector sheet and water film is closely regulated both by the pressure of air in the air cushion layers and the relative tension applied to the collector sheet and layers by the outer peripheral connector and frame assembly. A form of connector and frame assembly (16) has been devised to establish both the desired spacing and tension on the sheets (18, 19, 20 and 22) while permitting releasable but secure connection of the sheets and layers in place within the frame and simultaneously provide the necessary communication with water inlet and outlet headers (50,51:61,62) and air supply (40a, 40,41).

Abstract: Body noise or mechanical vibrations are damped by a sound or noise damping covering that may be secured permanently or temperarily to the surfaces of a body to be damped in the manner of an adhesive tape. The tape or band type damping covering comprises two layers of platelet elements of highly elastic material interconnected with play, for example by hooks. The layers are so arranged that the platelet elements in one layer are staggered relative to the platelet elements in the other layer. An intermediate layer of a plastic type material is interposed between the two outer platelet layers. The plastic material converts shearing stresses and hence the vibrations into heat. The plastic material may be a gel which absorbs liquid.

Title: Non spill liquid fuel tanks
IPC: B60K15/00
Filed: 1983-03-14
Granted: 1986-11-26
Abstract: A liquid fuel tank for a vehicle is provided with a fuel outlet duct in a circuit about the base of the tank and fuel outlet duct vents connected to the outlet duct and extending above the highest part of the tank. During normal operation of the tank, a non-return air vent allows the flow of fuel from the outlet duct. In the event of an accident, or some other occurrence which results in the tank being tilted, further fuel flow from the outlet duct is cut off by air drawn into the fuel outlet duct from the outlet duct vents. The angle through which the tank must be tilted to allow air from the outlet duct vents to be drawn into the outlet duct may be predetermined by the extent of the circuit about the base of the tank of the outlet duct. Such a non-spill fuel tank, which is self contained in operation, is suitable for use in on-road and off-road wheeled and tracked vehicles, hovercraft, and aircraft which are in danger of being blown over when on the ground.

Feature matching logic means (68) is provided for storing sets of second binary signals, each set representing a respective known character and comprising first feature characteristic signals and second feature characteristic signals. The logic means (68) is arranged to compare each row of first binary signals with each of said sets to produce first and second output signals respectively representing differences between the row and said first feature characteristic signals and between the row and said second feature characteristic signals. The first and second output signals are accumulated and a processing means (74) is arranged to identify the unknown character on the basis of the accumulated output signals. Two comparison operations are carried out in respect of each row. The apparatus overcomes character recognition problems due to print aberrations.

Abstract: An originating processor broadcasts a value in a message with its unforgeable signature to all n active processors, including itself. Receiving processors in the network pass such a message on with their own unforgeable signatures to all active processors, including themselves. If the number of signatures and phases is the same at each processor after the first two successive passings, then agreement as to the value with no fault is indicated, otherwise if after two passings, (t + 1) signatures have been collected, then these are signed and sent in the third passing, and in any case, each processor continues the steps of repeatedly sending messages when received, and appending its signature until (t + 2) passings have occurred. At that time, a processor will agree to the value if at least (t + 1) signatures append the message, otherwise a default value is adopted, t (n/2) being a reliability measure.

Abstract: The device includes two driving circuit (C1, C2) each of which includes six power transistors (T11-T16, T21-T26) that are connected in pairs into three parallel circuit branches. A first coil (B11) of one of the motors and a first coil (B21) of the other are, on the one hand, both connected to the junctions of the transistors of one of the branches of one of the driving circuits (C1) and, on the other hand, respectively connected to the junctions of the transistors of the two other branches of this circuit. The same applies for the second coils (B12, B22) of the motors and the other driving circuit (C2). The various transistors are controlled so that the two coils of the same motor simultaneously receive the current pulses which are needed to make it turn but by preventing the simultaneous application of current pulses to a coil from one of the motors and to a coil from the other. This arrangement makes it possible to save four transistors and two output terminals on the integrated circuit used to control the motors.
