Abstract: A waveguide type photoswitch has a substrate (30) on which a plurality of waveguide paths (32, 34) are provided in close proximity to each other. Electrodes (42, 44, 46) are arranged along the waveguide paths (32, 34) in a coupling region (40) of the paths (32, 34). The distance between the waveguide paths (32, 34) is greater at the center of the coupling region (40) than at opposite ends of the region (40), so that the coupling coefficient can be reduced at the central part of the coupling region (40) and the coupling region (40) itself can be shortened. The electrodes (42, 44, 46) each is shorter than the coupling region (40) to allow the operating voltage to be noticeably lowered and the operation speed to be increased.

Abstract: A diffuser 32, for use in a gas turbine engine comprises an inner 31 and an outer 33 annular wall which define a divergent flow passage. The divergent flow passage is divided by a splitter 36 to form two annular flow ducts, 38 and 40, of different flow area. Introduction of the splitter 36 into the diffuser 32 to form the two annular flow ducts, 38 and 40, enables the length of the outer annular wall 33 of the diffuser 32 to be reduced. 
     Reducing the length of the outer annular wall 33 of the diffuser 32 increases the flow area between the diffuser 32 and combustion chamber 34. Air downstream of the diffuser 32 is therefore unrestricted and moves radially outward to the ports 42 in the head 44 of the combustion chamber 34 with minimum pressure loss.

Abstract: This device comprises a roller (1) on which the curtain is rolled up, and which has its ends closed by a washer (3) and a cap (2), provided with two opposed recesses (5,6), one inside and the other outside the roller. 
     A first support means (9) is inserted in the outer recess (6) and supports the end of a threaded rod (14) passing inside the roller to be inserted, with its other end, in a second support (16) fastened to the washer (3). The threaded rod crosses two opposed bodies (17,18), one of which is fixed and the other is movable, by virtue of its coupling with the threaded rod and its axial rotation. 
     Between the two bodies (17,18), a helical spring (19) is interposed, having its ends fastened to the same bodies. The rotation of the roller causes the rotation of the movable body, which twists the spring, but at the same time moves along the threaded rod, so increasing the longitudinal space available to the same spring (19).

Abstract: Light, which includes a reflector (103), batteries (105, 107) and a light emitting diode (102). The light emitting diode and the batteries are hermetically encased between a glass (103), that also serves as a reflector, and a rear wall (113) of the light. The batteries and the light emitting diode are connected in series with two metallic plates (108, 109) that extend through the rear wall (113) of the light. When the light is mounted on its bracket (115) that in turn is fastened to for instance a bicycle this fastening bracket is metallic and contacts the plates closing the circuit and lighting the light emitting diode. Due to the high efficiency of the light emitting diode it will be capable to burn a very long time before the batteries have to be changed and since the light in order to be lighted or unlighted is mounted or demounted possible oxide layers will always be worn away by this motion.

Abstract: A plurality of regions 4, 5 are activated as piezoceramic ultrasonic transducers on a ceramic part 2. Each transducer 4, 5 can be driven individually as a transmitter and can also be used as a receiver. If two of these ceramic parts, 2, 2a are arranged parallel to each other with a small spacing, this arrangement can be used as an ultrasonic fork-type barrier. The transducers 4a, 5a on the one ceramic part 2a function as transmitters while the transducers 4, 5 on the other ceramic part 2 function as receivers. The strength of the signal received varies as a function of the medium between the one ultrasonic transmitter 4a, 5a and the associated ultrasonic receiver 4, 5, and this makes possible further evaluation, for example the specification of the liquid level 12 in a container 10. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A refractive index sensor (1) senses the refractive index of a mixed liquid and generates a corresponding signal. A temperature sensor (2) senses the temperature of the liquid and generates a corresponding signal. A signal mixer (3) mixes the refractive index signal and the temperature signal with each other to provide a single signal which is then fed through a single signal line to a liquid content calculator (4) where the sensed refractive index is modified based the sensed liquid temperature to provide a temperature compensated refractive index from which the content of a liquid component in the liquid is calculated. This simplifies the arrangement of the entire apparatus and improves the operational reliability thereof as compared with the case in which the two signals are separately supplied to the liquid content calculator through two signal supply systems.
