Title: Inline sagnac fiber optic sensor with modulation adjustment
Inventor: ANG DICK
IPC: G01S17/32
Filed: 2003-02-19
Abstract: A sensing element (150) is exposed into an environmental effect by modulatin g a light signal (128) and determining a path lenght as a function of the modulation signal. A detector (106, 108) detects light intensity. An electronics processor (126) receives the detector output and produces a modulation signal (128) for the light. The processor (126) further produces an output signal indicative of the environmental effect as a function of the modulating signal. The length of the optical path can be readily determined as a function of a "proper" modulation frequency that produces a relatively constant output at the detector (108). Fiber optics and integrated optics ar e used. Used as LIDAR or for strain, temperature, chemical or as a fiber break detector.

IPC: H02J5/00
Filed: 2003-02-14
Abstract: Disclosed is a device for inductively transmitting electric power to a movable consumer, comprising at least one primary inductor which extends along a predetermined consumer trajectory as a conductor loop and from which electric power can be drawn by a secondary inductor that is arranged on the consumer.  In order to create a simple and inexpensive variable route layout, said device is provided with two galvanically separated conductor loops which are assigned to different sectors of the trajectory and are arranged relative to each other in such a way that electric power that is allocated to the consumer can be transmitted from a first conductor loop to at least one second conductor loop by inductively coupling the conductor loops. The sectors of the two conductor loops, which are to be inductively coupled, form a transformer which is preferably provided with a two-piece ferromagnetic core. The movable consumers are guided on rails while the sector of one of the conductor loops, which is to be inductively coupled, is connected to a movable part of a rail switch such that coupling takes place only in a final position of the rail switch.

Abstract: Pressure control in an isolated lower wellbore annulus, defined by a conduit sealably positioned within an isolated lower wellbore segment, is achieved while gravel packing by sensing the pressure within the isolated lower annulus while gravel packing and admitting fluid from the isolated lower annulus into the conduit at one or more discrete locations along the conduit when the sensed pressure corresponds to one or more threshold pressure conditions. The annulus pressure is sensed while gravel packing using a pressure-sensitive device disposed in the annulus, e.g., positioned by the conduit at a high pressure location. The pressure-sensitive device actuates one or more valves carried along the conduit to admit fluid from the annulus into the conduit at one or more of the discrete locations, and thereby control the pressure in the isolated lower annulus.

Abstract: The low profile ostomy system includes an adhesively securable repositionable pouch that bonds to a body-side mounting wafer. The repositionable pouch is removable from the mounting wafer for repositioning if necessary. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a resealable tape, which is in the form of a foam tape, is located on a face plate of the pouch and a releasable film, which is backed by a foam tape, is located on a body-side mounting wafer. The face plate of the pouch is formed with an extension tab that is accessible before and after the pouch has been secured to the body-side mounting wafer. The extension tab facilitates peeling of the face plate from the body-side mounting wafer during removal of the pouch from the mounting wafer. The foam tape on the body-side mounting wafer and the face plate inhibit formation of wrinkles or kinks at the engagement surfaces of the face plate and body-side mounting wafer when the pouch is removed from the body-side mounting wafer.

Abstract: A bone fragment wire (10) connects a bone fragment (30) to an anchor bone (32) for healing duration. The bone fragment wire (10) has a distal bone penetration section (22) which is advanced into the bone (20) and a proximal bone exterior section (24). The proximal bone exterior section (24) is longer than the bone penetration section (22), and thus extends substantially out of the bone (20) during healing of the bone (20). The bone penetration section (22) includes a distal bone anchor section (12) which threadingly engages the anchor bone (32), and a proximal fragment section (14) of small diameter. The fragment section (14) fits within the overbore created by advancing the bone anchor section (12) through the bone fragment (30), and thus extends through but does not positively engage the bone fragment (30). A compression engagement (36) on a distal end of the bone exterior section (24) provides a compression shoulder (38). In one embodiment the compression engagement (36) is provided by a threaded compression nut (40), while in another embodiment the compression engagement (36) is permanently affixed to the bone wire (10).  The shoulder (38) makes substantial contact with an exterior surface of the bone fragment (30), biasing the bone fragment (30) towards the anchor bone (32) with a controlled compression force. The compression engagement (36) is further adapted, such as through thread from and/or with a sloped proximal side, to enable the bone wire (10) to be more easily removed from the healed fracture without damaging surrounding tissue.

Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an oven cavity, an electric heating element, a control element for selecting an oven cavity temperature, a timer and a calibration system for regulating operational parameters of the cooking appliance. The calibration system adjusts operational parameters of the cooking appliance based upon an amount of time required to achieve the selected oven cavity temperature. Preferably, the timer measures the amount of time needed to achieve the oven cavity temperature during a no load condition in order to set a baseline. Once the time is determined, the calibration system adjusts offset temperatures, hysterisis temperatures and/or cooking times to account for variations in power delivered to the oven cavity.
