Abstract: A apparatus and method for testing portion of an optical fiber network from
various remote stations without having to have optical testing equipment at those remote
stations. The system and method utilize a series of routers that are located at the central
office and the remote stations of an optical fiber network. The routers are
interconnected through a common optical pathway that is part of the optical fiber
network. Testing equipment is located at the central office of the optical fiber network.
Optical testing signals and command signals are forwarded to the router at the central
office. The router at the central office multiplexes the signals and forwards the signals as
an optical transmission passing between the central office and a remote station. The
router at the remote station removes the multiplexed signal from the optical transmission.
Once removed, the optical test signals and command signals are utilized at the remote
station to test at least a portion of the optical fiber network from that remote station.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, the heater provides a core plug having one
open axial end and one closed axial end to define a hollow housing. During installation, the
closed end of the housing is secured into an engine core bore, such that at least a portion of
housing projects inwardly of the bore and is immersed in engine fluid. Independently, a
heating element, adaptable to an external power supply, is releasably inserted inside the
hollow housing. Heat is therefore conducted directly through the housing directly to the
engine fluid and the engine itself. A quick-release retaining member is installed to retain the
heating element within the housing while still allowing free rotation of the heating element
therein. The free rotation of the heating element allows an electrical connector from an
external power source to interconnect with the heating element completely independent of the
final orientation of the heating element inside the core plug or the end orientation of the core
plug within the engine bore. The present invention therefore functions as both an immersion
and a dry heater while simplifying installation and replacement.

Abstract: The exposure apparatus (10) and the substrate processing unit (50) are connected via an
in-line I/F portion (110). In addition, information on the substrate carriage is
communicated in between the control unit of the exposure apparatus side and the
control unit of the substrate processing unit, and both units decide their next
operation that contribute to improving the processing capacity related to the wafer
carriage, before actually starting the operation. Therefore, the throughput of the
series of wafer processing performed by the substrate processing unit and the
exposure apparatus can be improved, and as a consequence, becomes possible
to improve the productivity of the device. In this case, for example, information
on the predicted time or the expected time when the substrate can be received

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un silencieux de vanne papillon (10) servant à réduire le bruit provoqué par un écoulement gazeux traversant une vanne papillon ouverte et dotée d'un disque (16) monté pivotant dans un logement de vanne (12), de manière qu'il puisse pivoter sur un axe transversal entre une position ouverte et une position fermée. Le silencieux (20) comprend une pluralité de déflecteurs (22) plats et perforés disposés de manière cruciforme, montés dans une voie d'écoulement située immédiatement en aval du disque pivotant, s'étendant axialement et divisant la voie d'écoulement située en aval en quatre segments (24) axiaux et de secteurs de sections circulaires. L'écoulement gazeux passant le bord du disque pivotant dans la vanne génère une turbulence d'écoulement et forme un vaste sillage variable en aval de la vanne. Ce sillage variable constitue une source de bruit. Les déflecteurs cruciformes permettent à l'écoulement gazeux de passer à travers la vanne sans subir d'obstruction, tout en permettant à la turbulence de communiquer latéralement à travers la perforation (26), dissipant ainsi l'instabilité du sillage afin de réduire le bruit. Le silencieux de vanne papillon, selon la présente invention, donne un meilleur résultat acoustique comparé à un silencieux utilisé dans une vanne papillon classique. Il est par ailleurs plus léger, durable, plus simple, et plus économique à fabriquer.
