chromium (a source of chromium) and at least one substance selected
from the group consisting of oxyacid of phosphorus, oxysalt of
phosphorus, anhydride of oxyacid of phosphorus, and anhydride

Select nodes are engaged by engagement members ( 84 ) and are maintained radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis by a support frame ( 80 ) to create sequential discrete segments ( 22 ) in the helical and reverse helical components. The select nodes can be engaged and maintained from outside the helical and reverse helical components. Resin can be applied to the fibers by resin applicator ( 90 ) and cured. A three-dimensional structure ( 200 ) can be formed with one or more continuous fibers forming two or more different components ( 204, 206 ) of the structure and transitioning at transition nodes ( 207 ). A three-dimensional structure can be formed with the components including a sleeve ( 162 ) of braided fibers surrounding a core ( 163 ) of elongated fibers to reduce gaps.

Abstract: According to the invention, the sensors of a banknote processing device are function tested, adjusted and/or calibrated using testing media that have specific characteristics for testing, adjusting and/or calibrating individual or several sensors. Said specific characteristics can only be recognized and differentiated by the banknote processing device by means of a machine readable identification. For each identification, information regarding which characteristic of which sensor is to be checked, adjusted and/or calibrated on the basis of the testing medium is stored in the valuable document processing device. Furthermore, the sensor measured values concretely determined during test runs are compared with sensor measured values that were determined in prior test runs and/or during initial operation of the banknote processing device in order to determine a trend in the properties of the sensor and to timely exchange said sensor.

Inventor: TELLA RICHARD PAUL
IPC: G02B6/02
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: The present invention involves the use of coupling fixtures (130) that permit
optical elements (140) to be aligned with planar waveguides (135c) of planar lightwave
circuits (115). In particular, alignment of the coupling fixtures (130) typically does not
require powering of the optical element (140) yet provides a degree of alignment that is
comparable to that obtained by active alignment techniques. The alignment process is
accompanied by an assembly process that may be performed at relatively high
temperatures. This typically makes it possible to use solder for attaching the optical
element (140) to the planar lightwave circuit (115) while retaining alignment accuracy.
This is advantageous since soldering typically is the preferred choice for assembling
components, such as single-mode devices, that require a relatively high degree of
alignment precision together with good mechanical rigidity.
