Abstract: Disclosed is a diverter (2) for directing particles that cause wear in a slurry pump (20)
away from the stationary face of a slurry pump (20). The diverter (2) comprises a protrusion
that directs particles back into the collector of the pump (20) to reduce the number of
particles that go through the impeller nose gap (12). The protrusion extends from the
suction liner (4) face to the front shroud (10) whereby particles can be deflected away from
the suction liner (4) face.

Abstract: A sucking device (100) having a fixed material transportation
surface including plural sucking holes (108), a decompression
chamber (102) connecting to the plural sucking holes, and a
pump (112) sucking air in the decompression chamber is set at the
discharging side of the fixed material transportation apparatus. The fixed material
is fed on the fixed material transportation surface of the
sucking device by the delivering device, and is stuck on the
fixed material transportation surface through the sucking
holes by the sucking device. The fixed material is fixed by
a fixing head at the state being stuck and is transported
gradually to a downstream side from an upstream side by the
delivering device on the fixed material transportation surface.
After that, when fixing is finished, the fixed material
separates from the fixed material transportation
surface and rises slightly by blowing of air from the sucking holes
by a blowing device so as to move in the discharging direction,
that is, the downstream side by an auxiliary transporting
device. Thus, since the fixed material is discharged smoothly,
the prior discharging serrated roller is unnecessary so that
spur mark run over caused by the discharging serrated roller
does not remain on the fixed material at discharging.

Abstract: The fixing comprises a rigid casing (2) connected to and partially surrounding the cable harness. A deformable wedging structure (3) is located between the cable and the casing. Force transmission means (4,13,14) exert a longitudinal compression force parallel to the cable on the wedging structure. The wedging structure is pressed against the cable and the casing under the compression force so as to offer resistance to the movement of the casing and the cable harness.   Independent claims are included for a fixing method and a suspended bridge.

Abstract: A head-mounted optical apparatus (10) providing pupil imaging
with a very wide field of view. The head-mounted optical apparatus (10) employs
a monocentric arrangement of optical components providing stereoscopic display
of a virtual image, electronically generated and projected as left and right images
from curved surfaces (68). For each right and left image, a ball lens assembly
(30) is used to project a displayed intermediate image from the curved display
surface (68) toward a beamsplitter (16), which directs an intermediate image
toward the front focal surface of a curved mirror (24) that collimates the image to
form a virtual image. The beamsplitter (16) transmits the virtual image for each
eye to the observer.

Abstract: A communications network comprises a lower transport layer and an upper overlay
incorporating a plurality of routers. Adjacencies are defined between respective pairs of
routers. Path protection is provided by defining a software model of the overlay of the
network and defining in the model a hierarchy of protection levels for the main path.
Each protection level is characterised by a respective set of one or more broken
adjacencies in the model, the adjacencies to be broken being determined from a
knowledge of the underlying topology. A protection level is selected and a protection
path avoiding the broken adjacencies associated with that protection level is calculated.
If this calculated path is not available in the real network, a lower protection level in the
hierarchy is selected and the protection path calculation repeated. The process
continues until a suitable protection path is identified.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method for controlling a pump unit of a fiber amplifier, with which a transmitted wavelength multiplex (WDM) signal is amplified by at least a distribution of output powers of a plurality of pump sources in order to achieve a favorable noise figure of the amplified WDM signal (S) at a variable required overall pump power. The output powers are distributed using modulation characteristics for the pump sources depending on the overall pump power required for amplification. The modulation characteristics influence the respective inversions in the fiber amplifier in such a manner that a minimum noise figure is achieved for all channels of the WDM signal at a constant gain.

Abstract: A bent fluorescent lamp for backlighting a display

310)is made from a tubular glass envelope (212; 312) having
right angles formed therein with shaped corners (240, 242;
340, 342). The right angles provide improved illumination
of a plane surface for backlighting a liquid crystal
display (237; 337). The right angles and shaped corners
eliminate dark regions in the illuminated surface. A right-angled
bend is also formed at the ends of the fluorescent
lamp. An electrode (220; 230) is positioned sufficiently
far from a central portion (223; 323) of the lamp so that
any dark spaces in the gas discharge of the fluorescent
lamp (210; 310), such as the Faraday dark space associated

portion (223; 323). As a result, the central portion of the
fluorescent lamp has a uniform brightness or intensity
providing improved illumination for backlighting a liquid
crystal display (237; 337). The resulting more uniform
illumination with less dark regions results in a more 
legible display. A method of forming a right-angled bend
