Patent AU-2232488-A (AU)
Title: Micro-optical building block system and method of making same
Inventor: VILHELMSSON KENNET J A
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 1988-09-20
Abstract: A micro-optical building block system for optical processing of light signals and method for making the components used in the system. The basic system includes a master substrate (31) on which is mounted at least one building block (21-28). Typically, there are a multiplicity of pre-defined positions at which the building blocks will mate with the master substrate. Building blocks can be positioned adjacent to each other on the master substrate in such a way as to allow light signals to be transferred between them. Mating relief patterns (83, 73, 74) are formed on both the master substrate and the building block stubstrates, the relief pattern areas on the master substrate being adjacent and repetitive, or alternatively, different patterns. The mating relief patterns enable self alignment of the building blocks at predetermined positions on the master substrate. The relief pattern on the building blocks is adapted to be employed to embody a variety of optical components as integral or constituent parts of the relief pattern. Alternatively, the relief pattern is used as a mechanical fixture for optical or mechanical components, or both, which define the functions of the building blocks.

Filed: 1992-12-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a process and devices for carrying out the process for purifying gases, exhaust gases, vapours and brines which are contaminated with undesirable chemical substances or are mixed with these at relatively high concentrations, by photocatalytic reactions which take place on the surface of catalysts. The catalysts (1) are situated in a fixed bed or a fluidised bed on catalyst supports. In the fluidised bed, the catalysts themselves can act as catalyst support. Catalyst supports and catalysts are situated in a closed system through which the substrate to be purified is passed. In the fixed-bed catalyst principle, the catalyst support/catalyst system continuously or discontinuously passes through a wash zone (12) for washing off the mineralisation products formed.
