Abstract: A vibration absorber (10) has a mount (40) for attaching to a vibrating body, such as the frame of an aircraft. A plate (28)is spaced from the mount (40) with a mass (52) there between. A first elastomeric ring (60) is compressed between the mass (52) and the mount (40), and a second elastomeric ring (62) is compressed between the mass (52) and the plate (28). The rings act as a spring having a stiffness that defines a resonant frequency at which the mass oscillates. Vibration in the body is reduced by the mass movement absorbing vibrational energy and the energy absorption is maximized when the mass resonates at the vibration frequency. A controller (80) senses body vibration and operates a mechanism that alters the spacing between the mount and the plate thereby adjusting the spring stiffness. The stiffness of the spring is changed until the resonant frequency of the mass is tuned to the vibration frequency of the body. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Dans une feuille flexible (1) optique comprenant des guides d'ondes optiques tels que des fibres optiques (3), les extrémités de ces fibres peuvent être disposées soit au milieu soit sur les bords de la feuille flexible. Des découpes (7, 9) sont pratiquées autour des extrémités de telles fibres de façon à former des languettes (11, 13), que l'on peut replier latéralement à partir du plan de la feuille flexible (1) afin que les extrémités des fibres (3) se situent sur les bords extérieurs des languettes. Les fibres optiques peuvent ainsi être connectées à des dispositifs extérieurs selon différentes orientations, notamment perpendiculairement à la feuille flexible (1). De la sorte, il est possible d'utiliser la feuille flexible (1) comme organe optique venant compléter un fond de panier (21) électrique, les languettes (11) dépassant par des orifices (29) ménagés dans le fond de panier. Cela simplifie également la manipulation de la feuille flexible, étant donné qu'il n'y a plus besoin que les languettes de connecteurs dépassent des bords, ce qui présente un avantage lors, par exemple, du polissage des extrémités de fibres en bout de languette.

Abstract: With a catalyst that is operated in a dust-containing off-gas, there is a problem with the catalyst becoming blocked by individual particles contained in a gas flowing onto the catalyst. The invention describes a catalyst body with a multiplicity of first longitudinal passages, which also contains second longitudinal passages. The second longitudinal passages have a larger passage cross-section than the first longitudinal passages. As a result, the advantage of a high specific surface area per volume of the catalyst is maintained in combination with simultaneous permeability to individual particles.

Abstract: An oligonucleotide, labeled with a molecular energy transfer trio and containing two sequences capable of hairpin formation, is used in the detection of two targets by irradiation with a single wavelength of light. One of the two sequences contains an energy donor and a first energy acceptor, and the other sequence contains a second energy acceptor. The donor is in close proximity to the second acceptor only if the hairpin is formed, while the donor is always in close proximity to first acceptor. A sample is assayed, using this oligonucleotide in conjunction with another oligonucleotide which contains the donor fluorophore and the quencher, arranged as described above, but which lacks the acceptor fluorophore. The present oligonucleotide and the other oligonucleotide are specific to first and second targets, respectively. If a sample contains the first and second targets, then hairpin formation is prevented after each oligonucleotide is incorporated into a target amplification product or hybridized to a target. Subsequent irradiation of the sample with the single wavelength of light which excites the donor fluorophore, but not the acceptor fluorophore, causes two distinctive signals to be generated. The first signal is emitted by the second fluorophore of the present oligonucleotide, while the second signal is emitted by the first fluorophore of the other oligonucleotide. Thus, the first and second targets are detected when one observes the first and second signals, respectively.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for varying track recording speed to maximize host-to-tape data transfer rates is presented. Variable data transfer rates of host systems and networks are accommodated by continually adjusting the tape speed to match the tape drive to the host's actual transfer rate. The speed of the tape is adjusted according to both the level of data present in the tape drive data buffer and whether the current mode of the drive is write mode or read mode. In the preferred embodiment, when the tape speed is accelerated or decelerated while writing a number of data track pairs to tape, a predetermined number of dummy track pairs are first written to tape at the current speed. On the next write head phase after the speed is increased or decreased as appropriate while the read heads are over the track, a predetermined number of dummy track pairs followed by more data track pairs are written to the tape at the new speed.
