Date Aug. 22, 1996Apparatus for determining the curvature of an elongated channel, such as a drill hole in rock for instance, wherein the apparatus includes a probe (1) which may be constructed for movement through the channel and to assume the curvature of the channel at the different positions into which the probe is moved along the channel, wherein the probe (1) includes means (3, 31, 10) for sensing the curvature of the probe, and thus also the curvature of the channel, between at least two longitudinally spaced positions (A, B) on the probe (1), and wherein the apparatus can be connected to means (10) for determining the extension of the channel by registering curvature of the probe, for instance in different positions of the probe along the channel. The probe means include an optical fibre section (31) which is connected to a flexible probe body (3) arranged in the probe (1), wherein the optical fibre section (31) extends parallel with and at a constant distance from the bending neutral axis (44) of the probe body (3), such that strain acting in the fibre section will constitute a measurement of the bending or curvature of the probe body (3) in an axial plane (41) that includes the fibre section (31). The optical fibre section (31) has two partial reflection means(8a, 8b; 22a, 22b), for instance gratings, at said positions (A, B) along the probe. Means (10) are connected to the optical fibre section for interferometric determination of the change in distance between the partial reflection means in the fibre section (31). Means (32, 10) are provided for compensating for the influence of temperature on the change in distance between the partial reflection means.

Abstract: The problems caused by chemical and thermal shrinkage of hard roll covers, are reduced by the inclusion of one or more intermediate compressive layers between the metal roll and the outer cover, or "topstock". A compressive layer has the properties of being rigid enough to allow the cover to be applied to the roll, and compressible enough to buffer and absorb the stresses which occur as the cover is shrinking during processing. In one embodiment, the intermediate compressive layer comprises a three dimensional fabric that is filled preferably with a thermoset resin system which cures at lower temperature than cover. In a second embodiment, the precise amount of shrinkage in the roll can be predetermined to a high enough degree of accuracy so that a depth for the fabric layer can be used to compensate for the amount of shrinkage, thereby eliminating the need for filling. In a third embodiment, the compressive layer is comprised of a wax material. The problems caused by chemical and thermal shrinkage are further reduced through a method based on applying a polymeric cover layer over one or more intermediate compressive layers, curing at an elevated temperature, and, allowing the cover to shrink during curing or hardening.

Abstract: Demolding apparatus for reliably and repeatedly mechanically separating contact lens mold assemblies without damaging the contact lens formed therebetween. The mold assembly includes a frontcurve mold having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, and a corresponding backcurve mold also having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, with a contact lens being molded therebetween. The demolding apparatus includes a conductive heating probe which contacts the backcurve mold of the lens mold assembly to conductively heat the backcurve mold. Heat is conducted by the backcurve mold to cause a temperature gradient between the backcurve mold and the lens being demolded. The temperature gradient causes a differential expansion and shifting of the surface of the backcurve mold relative to the surface of the lens to lessen the adhesion therebetween to assist in separation of the molds, while leaving the lens in the frontcurve mold. The conductive heating probe includes a convex heating surface which contacts and is the same general shape as a concave surface on the backcurve mold, and can also include a compliant heat conductor to conform to the concave surface on the backcurve mold. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a conductive heating probe assembly having an n x m array of conductive heating probes which contact each backcurve mold of an n x m array of molds assemblies positioned in a support pallet.

Abstract: The method described calls for the slurry-like material, located in a natural or artifical basin, to be set in motion in situ in limited areas, one after the other, and for a solidifying agent to be introduced over a given depth and simultaneously mixed into the material, the solidifying agent being fed from a supply tank outside or inside the basin directly to the point of introduction. The installation described includes an excavator vehicle (30) fitted with a boom (35) on which is mounted at least one earth-working implement, such as one or more vertical rotary cutters (50a, b). The earth-working implement is connected by a hose line (20a, b) to a tanker vehicle (10) from which solidifying agent is fed into the rotary cutters which introduce it into the material (1) being treated. Solidification of the material (2) can thus be carried out relatively rapidly, allowing the excavator (30), which is a vehicle with a low ground pressure, to advance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roaming method for forwarding messages of the ERMES type to a subscriber moving simultaneously with an ERMES pager and a GSM, DCS, NMT mobile telephone. The ERMES messages are forwarded by using the HLR location register (80) of the GSM, DCS or NMT system. A special alarm, for example alarm 8, is assigned to the messages which are intended for the subscribers of this service. In one version, the messages are assigned a special long-distance code number. The method can be carried out without changing the mobile telephone central station (PNC) (3). The existing GSM and ERMES systems do not have to be modified. The system is activated only when a message arrives or is sent ("follow-me" concept).

Abstract: The invention provides a method of nucleic acid sequence analysis based on the ligation of one or more sets of encoded adaptors to the terminus of a target polynucleotide. Encoded adaptors whose protruding strands form perfectly matched duplexes with the complementary protruding strands of the target polynucleotide are ligated, and the identity of the nucleotides in the protruding strands is determined by an oligonucleotide tag carried by the encoded adaptor. Such determination, or "decoding" is carried out by specifically hybridizing a labeled tag complement to its corresponding tag on the ligated adaptor.
