Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method for aligning
optical components in an optical assembly. The method comprises the
steps of pre-aligning the optical fibre (4) to the optical device (3),
measuring a coupling efficiency of the optical fibre to the optical
device, applying energy to a support means (6), said energy being
sufficient to enable the support means to become ductile, and applying a
force to the support means in a direction which increases the coupling
efficiency.

Abstract: Proxy network address translation (PNAT) is disclosed, which combines proxy server capability with network address translation (NAT) capability. At a NAT component, address translation is performed at a packet level of a stream of packets originating from a client and destined for a server. The address translation redirects the packets to a proxy component, and masks the source of the packets. At the proxy component, filtering is performed at a stream level of the stream of packets. The proxy component transmits the packets to the server. A specific installed component is not required at clients for access through the PNAT. The PNAT retains the advantages of a proxy server, while retaining for the component-less nature of access of NAT.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting the presence of articles in a space, comprising: means for determining a location for each of the articles in the space; and a detector arranged at each location for detecting the presence of an article at the relevant location, wherein the detector is adapted to react to the displacement of a part of the detector caused by the force of gravity, wherein the detector is a solid-state detector. Solid-state detectors are not susceptible to wear, or hardly so, while being equally insensitive to moisture. It is therefore recommended that the detected comprises a magnet and an element reacting to a change in the magnetic field caused by the magnet. This is a type of detector which is wholly insensitive to dirt and moisture. According to another preferred embodiment the element reacting to the magnetic field is a Hall element. Hall elements are small and have a low energy consumption.

Abstract: A weighing bridge used for weighing of large vehicles. The plate is the part of the weighing bridge onto which the vehicles drive and are parked during the weighing. Apart from the plate, the weighing bridge will also comprise a foundation, weighing cells and other electronic equipment which is necessary for the modern weighing of vehicles, but which together are known in the art. The weighing plate is distinguished in that all exterior surfaces are made from a compact composite material. By not having exterior steel surfaces and also utilising the extremely good durability of the composite material against influences from the environment, this together reduces and in some cases alleviates altogether the need for frequent maintenance works in order to renovate or restore the weighing bridge.

Abstract: Moisture in a refrigeration circuit is absorbed
by means of a polyvinyl ether oil that has hygroscopicity
and serves as a refrigerating machine oil. Therefore, even
if a compressor comes to have an elevated temperature
attributed to the employment of a refrigerant made of a
single substance of R32, the insulating film of the built-in
motor of the compressor is hard to hydrolyze. Moreover,
by setting a saturated moisture amount of polyvinyl ether
at a temperature of 30°C and a relative humidity of 80% to
5000 ppm or more, a tensile strength retention rate of the
motor insulating film made of PET or PEN, which can easily
be processed, can be set to 50% or more, by which the
deterioration of the insulating film can be prevented.
Therefore, the performance of the refrigerating apparatus
can be stabilized for a long term by avoiding the breakdown
of the compressor.
