Inventor: RICHARDS JAMES C
IPC: C12Q1/6825
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne des microréseaux de micropuits se trouvant en contact optique avec des guides d'ondes polymères (58), des champs évanescents associés aux ondes lumineuses propagées dans le guide d'onde excitant des substances cibles dans les micropuits (57) au moyen d'un guide d'ondes commun ou de guides d'ondes individuels. Des échantillons de fluides sont transportés vers des micropuits (57) au moyen de canaux microfluidiques (21). La présence des substances cibles dans des échantillons de fluides est détectée par captage du rayonnement fluorescent produit par des marqueurs fluorescents liés aux substances cibles. Ces marqueurs fluorescents produisent un rayonnement fluorescent lorsqu'ils sont excités par le champ évanescent. Un ou plusieurs détecteurs à tube photomultiplicateur ou un détecteur DTC (15) sont situés sur le côté du guide d'ondes opposé aux micropuits. Le rayonnement fluorescent est détecté en raison de son couplage avec le guide d'onde, ou de son émission par l'intermédiaire du guide d'ondes.

Abstract: The invention relates to recycling wornout tyres and other industrial and
domestic wastes. According to a method for shredding wornout tyres a package of
wornout tyres is formed as a number of closely compacted layers. The package is
subjected to primary destruction in an armored chamber under conditions of free
extension until the package outside layers are destroyed. The overall dimensions of the
armored chamber in any cross-section thereof square with the chamber axis and passing
through the package of the compacted tyres varies within the range of from 2 to 7
package diameters in such section. The compact package of tyres is formed from a few
coaxial helical twists having an axial hole. According to the invention, a stress-strain
state is established upon free extension of a rubber layer without its contacting with the
walls of the armored chamber, whereby efficient destruction and disintegration of the
rubber, metallic and textile cord of a tyre is attained.

Abstract: A WDM input signal received at an add/drop node is coupled onto both a
"drop" transmission path and a "through" transmission path within the node. Optical
channels to be dropped are then processed within the "drop" path, such as by optical
demultiplexing. Because a copy of the same WDM input signal is routed on the
"through" path, a dynamically configurable and programmable wavelength blocker
selectively blocks the optical channels that are being dropped from the WDM input
signal and passes through those optical channels not being dropped onto the "through"
path. In an "add" path within the node, optical channels are selectively added, such as
by using optical multiplexing. Those optical channels from the multiplexed optical
signal that are not designated for "add" (e.g., "unused" channels) are selectively
blocked within the "add" transmission path. Optical channels from the "add" and
"through" paths are then combined form a WDM output signal.
