IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2004-01-26
Abstract: The interferometer has an optical fiber arm (304) with a composite coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) (alpha 1) having a length. Another optical fiber arm (305) has another (CTE) (alpha 2) with variable length. The lengths are selected to reduce thermal sensitivity. A ratio of the two lengths inversely matches a ratio of the two composite coefficients of thermal expansion.

Abstract: A process for producing an organosilicon resin is disclosed.
The process includes the steps of equilibrating a mixture
of silane compounds of Si(OR 3 ) 4  wherein R 3 's are a monovalent
hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R 2 Si(OR 4 ) 3 
wherein R 2  is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to
20 carbon atoms, and R 4 's are a monovalent hydrocarbon group
having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and R 1   3 SiX wherein X is an -OH
group, an -OSiR 1   3  group or a hydrolyzable group, and R 1 's
are a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon
atoms; adding water to the product of the equilibration
reaction to carry out hydrolysis reaction; and adding an
aqueous alkali to the product of the hydrolysis reaction
to carry out condensation reaction. The organosilicon
resin obtained is well dispersible in a resin premix
containing a polyol, a blowing agent, a catalyst and a foam
stabilizer, and also is highly hydrophobic and low reactive.
Hence, the resin premix containing the organosilicon resin
has good storage stability. Accordingly, this resin
premix need not be agitated when used and also can provide
polyurethane foams having superior properties such as
dimensional stability.

Abstract: A regulated mirror current source circuit has an output transistor 205, a regulator 130 for controlling the output circuit, and a current mirror 102 having two or more current paths. The first path of the mirror is coupled in series with a current path of the output circuit, and the second path is coupled to the regulator, to provide feedback. The feedback can provide better precision, or reduced component area. The circuit can include cascode transistors, and the regulator can have integral control. The output transistor gate-source voltage is overdriven to reduce "on" resistance of the output transistor. When the output transistor is a high voltage transistor, its area can be reduced without sacrificing compliance.
