Title: Locking device
Inventor: HAURI PETER
IPC: E05B47/06
Filed: 2003-12-18
Abstract: The locking device comprises a coupling element (5). Said device can be electronically controlled with a moving actuator on the coupling element and brought into a first and a second coupling condition. An output element (4) can be connected to the locking means. In the first coupling condition, a rotor is decoupled from the output element (4) in the sense that no direct coupling, by means of the coupling element or other coupling means, is provided which would mean that a rotation of the rotor would cause a movement of the output element. In the second coupling position the coupling element couples the output element (4) with a rotor (2) which may be operated by means of a key, door handle, door knob, a similar means, or by an electrical actuation.

Patent CA-2515705-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FARHADIROUSHAN MAHMOUD
IPC: G01K11/32
Filed: 2004-02-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating and transmitting high energy optical pulses are described. Distributed temperature sensors usually use Raman scattering in optical fibres as the means to determine the temperature. Here, light from a laser source is sent down a fibre and the small amount of light that is scattered back towards the source is analysed. As the fibre length increases, the resolutions of the temperature and loss measurements become poorer. This is because losses in an optical fibre attenuate the signal. An obvious solution to this problem is to launch more light into the fibre to compensate for the losses but stimulated Raman scattering limits how much light may be launched. The present invention solves this problem by using a pulse conversion method to maximise the resultant pulse energy while the power is kept below SRS threshold.
