Abstract: The present invention provides a cutter for cutting garlic comprising a cutting part comprising at least an upper and lower grid of cutting edges separable stacked on each other, and a punching part for pressing the garlic towards said grids of cutting edges for cutting the garlic. The cutting part that cuts the garlic into pieces preferably comprises two layers of grids with cutting edges laid on each other. The upper grid can be removed from the lowe grid, so that the leavings from the garlic that may be bound in the upper and/or lower grid is easier to remove. Further, the two grids may be displaced positioned on and in relation to each other, so that the "common holes" provided by the two grids are smaller than the holes in each grid. Thus, it is possible to choose between different hole sizes; one small size when using both grids and one larger size when both grids.

Abstract: A false twist texturing apparatus for false twist texturing a plurality of synthetic yarns in a plurality of processing stations, which each comprise a plurality of feed roll systems, a primary heater, a cooling device, a false twist unit, a secondary heater, and a takeup device. For accommodating the takeup devices, a takeup module is provided, and a processing module is provided for accommodating the false twist units, with a doffing aisle being formed along the takeup module and a servicing aisle along the processing module. To realize a short yarn path, the processing module and the takeup module are joined to form a frame section arranged between the servicing aisle and the doffing aisle. In this arrangement, the yarn passage from the processing module to the takeup module is formed by the secondary heater which is horizontally oriented, so that the yarn is guided between the false twist unit and the takeup device on the frame section along a generally U-shaped path.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant de mesurer avec précision la biréfringence d'éléments optiques, en particulier d'éléments utilisés dans les longueurs d'ondes d'ultraviolets lointains. Ce système comprend deux modulateurs photo-élastiques (126, 128) placés sur les côtés opposés de l'échantillon (136). Chaque modulateur peut fonctionner pour moduler la polarité d'un faisceau lumineux qui passe dans l'échantillon. Ce système comprend aussi un polariseur (124) associé à un modulateur, un analyseur (130) associé à l'autre modulateur, et un détecteur (132) pour mesurer l'intensité de la lumière après son passage dans les modulateurs, le polariseur et l'analyseur. L'invention traite aussi de techniques permettant de déterminer des propriétés de biréfringence dans une large gamme. Par exemple, un mode de réalisation de lumière source à double longueur d'onde est prévu pour mesurer des niveaux de biréfringence relativement élevés. L'invention a aussi pour objet une technique permettant de sélectionner avec efficacité et précision un certain nombre d'approches pour déterminer des propriétés de biréfringence en fonction de la valeur estimée de la biréfringence à détecter pour un élément optique d'échantillon donné.

Abstract: The invention relates to a playback apparatus for retrieving information from an information carrier ( 2 ). The information has been recorded on the information carrier ( 2 ) in the form of variations of a first physical parameter. The playback apparatus scans the information carrier by means of a transducer ( 4 ), which is responsive to said variations of said physical parameter. An information recovering circuit ( 5 ) recovers the information from a first detection signal (D 1 ) received from the transducer ( 4 ). The information recovering circuit ( 5 ) comprises a phase-locked loop ( 51 ). The information carrier ( 2 ) exhibits a second variation of a second physical parameter, which differs from said first physical parameter but which is detectable by means of said transducer ( 4 ). A detection circuit ( 6 ) detects the presence of the second variation on the basis of a second detection signal (D 2 ) received from the transducer ( 4 ). The idea of the invention is that the detection circuit ( 6 ) is capable of using the phase-locked loop ( 51 ) of the information recovering circuit ( 5 ) to detect the presence of the second variation. The invention can be implemented very easily in, for example, DVD players to detect the presence of an information carrier ( 2 ) with DVD+RW format or an information carrier ( 2 ) with DVD-RW format. Only switching means ( 7 ) and some minor electronics have to be added; there is no need for an additional phase-locked loop.
