Abstract: An optical 1xN star coupler has a single mode input fibre I and N single mode output fibres O1 forming an output fibre assembly. The output fibres O are tapered within a former 2 which holds each output fibre O so it is positioned substantially identically relative to the remaining output fibres. The input fibre I is also tapered such that the fundamental mode field of the input fibre I and output fibre assembly are substantially equal. The identical relative positions of the output fibres O provides a wavelength independent 1xN star coupler.

Title: Circular filter with filter cartridge
IPC: B01D46/04
Filed: 1989-05-16
Granted: 1993-03-10
Abstract: The process for filtering air in an apparatus of the filter cyclone type consists in producing a reduction in the upward velocity of the air to be filtered, in the bottom part in the form of a skirt (16) of the filter cartridge (4). 
<??>In its skirt (16), the filter cartridge (4) has perforations (15) which make it possible to increase the entry surface area of the air to be freed from dust, thus reducing the upward velocity of the air at the bottom entry of the said skirt. 
<??>The diameter and the density of the perforations (15) are adapted to the type of dust and waste suspended in the air.

Title: Method of making bimetallic tubes, and tubes made by this method
IPC: B21C23/22
Filed: 1989-12-29
Granted: 1993-05-05
Abstract: The method according to the invention relates to the production of a bimetallic tube, the cross-section of which comprises an outer annular zone and an inner annular zone, these zones being of different compositions. The method resides in preparing a blank (1) comprising two tubular components (2, 3) housed one inside the other and of different compositions and separated by an annular space (4) which is filled with divided metal. The whole assembly is made rigid by two end pieces (7, 8) and coextrusion is carried out at a suitable temperature to ensure a metallurgical bond between the inner component (2) and the outer component (3). The bimetallic tube obtained is particularly suitable for uses in which one of its two outer or inner walls is exposed to a medium which is more aggressive than the other.

Abstract: Un moteur à combustion interne à deux temps est pourvu d'un système de carburant comprenant une pompe de carburant basse pression (204) et une vanne à solenoïde (206) pour l'alimentation et le dosage de carburant au carter du moteur par l'intermédiaire d'un conduit de carburant, sans carburateur, sans pompe de carburant à haute pression, sans injecteur de carburant à haute pression et sans régulateur de pression constante du carburant. Le système détecte la quantité d'air de combustion fournie au moteur et détecte la vitesse de l'écoulement du carburant grâce à l'utilisation d'un orifice de restriction dans le conduit de carburant pour produire une chute de pression du carburant qui indique la vitesse de l'écoulement du carburant. Un conduit est connecté entre le carter au niveau d'un passage de transfert et le conduit de carburant en aval de l'orifice de restriction, et fait passer un mélange de carburant et d'air pressurisé chaud du carter, au travers du passage de transfert, vers le conduit de carburant dans le but d'améliorer l'atomisation du carburant.

Abstract: A withdrawal system is disclosed for pebble-shaped fuel elements (5) of a gas-cooled pebble-bed reactor. The withdrawal has a withdrawal pipe (1) open at its lower end and arranged underneath the nuclear reactor vessel, a pebble box (16) arranged underneath the withdrawal pipe and a rotative perforated disk (6) for removing the fuel elements (5). Between an outlet (15) of the withdrawal pipe (1) and the perforated disk (6), above the bottom of the pebble box (16), is located a blocking edge (17) upstream of which gas nozzles (18) open into the bottom of the pebble box (16). A stream of gas discharged through these gas nozzles (18) loosens and lifts the elements (5), which then passes over the blocking edge (17) up to the perforated disk (6) and are thus removed. In the absence of the stream of gas, a conical heap forms above the blocking edge (17), preventing the fuel elements (5) from flowing out and allowing the perforated disk (6) to be removed without problems.

Abstract: A process with improved economic efficiency for the catalytic and/or thermal post-combustion of process waste air containing organic compounds in variable concentration by passing the process waste air through a post-combustion zone is characterised in that, above a minimum value of the flow volume through the post-combustion zone, this flow volume is controlled so that the temperature increase of the process waste air in the post-combustion zone remains below a preset maximum value and below 1300 K, and in that the feed air to the post- combustion zone is preheated in such a manner that the post-combustion zone waste air has a temperature within a predetermined range. An apparatus for carrying out this process has a device for measuring the temperature increase in the post-combustion chamber, a device which controls the device regulating the feed air in the post-combustion chamber depending on the temperature increase in the post-combustion chamber, and a heating device installed in the post-combustion chamber feed air pipe.

Abstract: 2.1 Electric time-controlled combination locks for entertainment electronics devices are known. To block the reproduction or the reception of a particular television transmission at the television receiver (childproofing), the user enters an additional codeword with the data which are required for programming for reception of the television transmission. Data and codewords are entered into a memory and a control device arranged in the set compares the stored codewords or data with the currently entered codeword or received data of the television transmission. 2.2 To enable even an unskilled user to block the reproduction of particular television transmissions in a simple manner, the corresponding data are automatically taken by means of data decoder or videotext decoder and, together with the codeword entered by the user, supplied to the memory. The control device also takes into consideration transmitter-controlled reprogramming or also provides for automatically blocking sets of a combination of sets. 2.3 The novel device utilises transmitter-controlled aids in a surprisingly simple manner for preprogramming a receiver in conjunction with childproofing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method and apparatus for measuring the velocity, whether rotary or reciprocating, of a servo shaft driven cyclically by a motor, without employing a tachmometer, while maintaining accuracy despite environmental electrical noise. From movement of the shaft a pair of overlapping square-wave signals in quadrature are produced with transition expressible in Gray Code for each cycle. A clock continuously produces a large number of evenly spaced clock pulses constituting a series of consecutive sample intervals. A signed value representing the algebraic sum of all the quadrature transitions occurring during a sample interval is determined and stored. The number of clock pulses between two quadrature transitions, each transition being the last qualified transition of the two most recent sample intervals having transitions is determined. A computer divides the sample intervals by the number of clock pulses which occurred between the selected quadrature transitions.

Abstract: An improved innerseal for sealing containers includes a body portion having an upper surface and structure connected to the upper surface for grasping by a user, whereby the body portion may be removed from a container quickly and efficiently. The body portion includes structure for preventing passage of fluid therethrough, and structure adapted for bonding the body portion against the upper rim of the container with a first bonding force. The bonding structure has a first bonding portion for sealing against the container rim and a second bonding portion which is adhered to the first bonding portion with a second bonding force which is less than the first bonding force. Consequently, a first part of the first bonding portion will delaminate from the second bonding portion over the container rim and remain adhered to the rim, while a second part of the first bonding portion will remain adhered to the second bonding portion, thereby exposing the opening in the container when the grasping structure is pulled. A method for manufacturing containers so sealed is also disclosed.
