Abstract: A process for balancing a vehicular driveline including a propeller shaft and an input shaft of a vehicle axle interconnected by a universal joint (14). First, the vehicle propeller shaft is balanced to a predetermined residual imbalance having an imbalance vector angle of 0 DEG  or 180 DEG  which lies inline with open set of cardan joint trunnions (52). The corrected residual imbalance is then visually marked. Next, the input shaft is balanced to a predetermined residual imbalance having an imbalance vector angle of 0 DEG  or 180 DEG  which lies inline with cross-holes in yoke ears. Again, the corrected residual imbalance on the input shaft is then visually marked. During the assembly of the vehicle, the assembly line operator couples the propeller shaft to the input shaft through a cardan joint cross by aligning the marks on the propeller shaft and the input shaft so that the marks are located opposite to each other. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a process to determine the concentration of gas within a lamp, the lamp is located between two parabolic mirrors of different radius and focused on the lamp. A laser beam is directed at a first parabolic mirror and then follows an increasingly divergent path as it is reflected back and forth between the mirrors through the lamp. An independent claim is included for an assembly for use in the above process, incorporating one or more laser diode light sources or narrow frequency (0.6 mu m to 2.5 mu m) bandwidth following the longest possible route prior to measurement with a spectrometer. The laser beam impinges on the lamp at right angles or as close to right angles as possible. The parabolic mirrors have a copper or gold reflective surface.
